A weekend of accomplishment
Done:
2 chair cushions recovered to match curtains.
2 pairs of curtains taken apart and remade into one pair of curtains that actually fits the windows properly.
Another pair of curtains hemmed.
Possible source of extra fabric for the now-bare window found on internet.
Headboard for bed covered.
White bedlinen dyed cream and king-size duvet cover cut down to fit single duvet.
3 chairs extracted from tractor shed and washed.
Still hoping to get done sometime this week:
Quilted throw for sofa (top is pieced; need to buy batting, backing and binding and do the quilting).
Rug for bedroom (this is unlikely to get finished this week, but I want to start making some more progress on it).
Possible mural for bedroom wall, though I'm wondering if I should wait until bookshelves have been put up.
Mock up of dress for my brother's wedding.
I'm also expecting round 3 of Sock Madness to start towards the end of the week.
Start planting up the garden (I bought a few things at the farmers' market on Saturday but I'm going with my mum to a local nursery and garden centre on Thursday to see what else we can find. There isn't yet any topsoil in most of the garden, though my brother has promised to bring some soon.)
The extra wide worktop that divides the kitchen from the living area has proved to be a most useful space for cutting and pinning fabric. It's higher than a normal table which means much less bending and stretching.
There are sheep with baby lambs in the field behind the garden at the moment. I wish I was going to be here in a few weeks time when the bluebells will be out in the woods.
