Once the prep was done - as far as I could - it was then time to do a quick tidy up before heading out with the dogs. I don't know about you but its very overcast and grey here - and quite mucky under foot - but its nice to get some fresh air before sorting out and finishing off the pile of ironing that has been staring a me!
Back home, and with the soup maker on (I really love the soup maker - it's so easy!!), it was time to treat the shower screen and remove the limescale before fitting the new seal that I talked about previously. I certainly know how to live now don't I? However I get a stupid amount of satisfaction sorting out the small jobs and, of course, I have to go upstairs inbetween each job (at some point the dogs will stop following me and realise that they are not missing out on anything!)
Finally i thought that I deserved a sit down and settled to finishing the patchwork side of the mouse pin cushion that I started at the Textile Group yesterday. Ever since I was shown the gluing method of attaching my papers to my fabric, EPP has been revolutionised and I love the sewing together of hexagons - even more so since I use a single strand of bottom line thread and can hardly see my joining stitches now!
So, all in all, a day that would have consisted of a film and breakfast "out" has ended up being quite productive -I have lunches made for the week (soup), fabric prepped for tomorrow and 1/4 of the mouse pincushion finished - as well as sorting out the house and running walking up and down stairs 22 times - not too shabby !
I love those kinds of days too...well dog walking aside!!
