Boring sewing just has to be done!

school uniform time has arrived....so boring.

I hate ironing and putting labels on school uniform and today I will have to do both as the uniform sewing fairy has not turned up for work!  The uniform was collected yesterday and we are all ready to go but still minus the trainers which we hope to get on Tuesday.

As promised here are the 3 completed WIP,s ......

All Lizzie Kate charts
My favourite is the one on the right!


Yesterday I found out my swap partner for yet another swap (I know another!!!) It will be with Ellie
Her blog is lovely so pop over if you can
feltabulous.blogspot.co.uk
This swap is a Seasons Swap organised by Kimberley over at creativechaosnz.blogspot.co.uk
as you probably might remember I did her last Dishcloth/mug rug swap too.


Well we have a few plans for the weekend, it is a Bank Holiday , here in the uk.  We have a friend / former workmate of DH who is staying nearby so we plan to catch up with him over the weekend and the kids have a party at a friends house on Sunday.  Tomorrow hopefully a day to potter in the annex and finish moving stuff from the dining room. I love it in there now ......hopefully by this time next week it will be ready to show you.  I know I am very lucky to have this spare space and it is about time I used it for what I planned.


Yesterday , lovely apples and runner beans
Nearly ready to be picked 


A little bit of  sunshine
In between the showers 
And our handsome boy not missing the 
chance for a play.


See you all again soon

    1. The time has flown far too quick for me, I love having my little ones home and of course no very early starts is always a plus!!! Though I confess looking forward to some sewing time again. Maria xx

  3. Have fun with the uniforms!! I just write my son's name on labels with indelible ink :p because no matter what I do, they still end up in a new home... Lovely finishes and have a great weekend
