Today was our first N'oreaster of the season, so much rain, and no work (and maybe none for the next week, as we've hit a lull. I'm not thinking about that right now). However, there was sewing to be done. I won't lie: I missed it. Remember about 40 years ago, when I found that awesome souvenir table cloth? Well, it's finally become a bag. Not sure about keeping it; I think it'll be coming to market with me next time I'm there; I'm aiming for early November, for the Christmas fiends. I'm pretty happy with the sack... I just really don't need another one... But it does so bring me back to the good times I had in the channel islands... (for the record, I had to look it up, as I'm not familiar with Guernsey). Miss Roxy is just incredible.
Started re-working the medicine cabinet too, and wanted to share this:
Poppy was the master of improvising when he didn't have quite what he needed (I like to think I got a little of that as well). In case it's not clear, the knob is actually a spool. ;D
One of those tools up there is the hook that my grandmother used to make this:
As far as I know, it's the only one she ever made. I loves it. :D
Thanks for stopping by mine. loving this tablecloth bag... Had thought to make cushions or maybe a pouf?
ReplyDeleteIf you would like, I will try to find you a very authentic Western Australian kitschy tablecloth of your very own - would you like a swapsy for christmas?
BTW I am loving rocco the dog! He looks very 'nicely wild' as i like to say...
