The little ups and downs of life!

So - today was our sewing day at Scamblesby - a fabulously friendly day , organised by Sewingbuddy and catered for by Jean - its a day to just sit, sew and chat.  We all enjoy it so much that we are branching out and meeting on one Saturday a month as well - get us!




Having finished my Anni Downs quilt, I took it for a show and tell, but focussed on sewing the Tuesday night blocks - I managed to sew 7 blocks in total so will need, tonight, to layer up the blocks and check off which ones still need to be completed.






I also made a start on some of the free machine embroidery - trying out two different patterns.  Again I am not an expert but I am feeling a little happier about the outcomes.






Then Pat arrived - she had been at a papercraft show.  She bought me a little pressie - a lovely tin from the Lynette Anderson range - how lovely that she thought of me!





So - if that's the high - then what was the low? Well two of them really - the lesser is that I dropped my phone when I got home so am now the proud owner of a cracked screen which I would want mending before I go away on holiday.  Of a more serious nature, and one that puts others in perspective, is that Jean and I were held up by a car accident.  We didn't see it but it looked like a large car had knocked a lady off her bike.  I can only pray that she is okay!
