This week in the sewing room

Not a great deal was achieved due to distractions such as seeing the movie Downton Abbey.    If you were a fan of the tv series then this is a "must see movie".    All of the original cast are in it as well as all the opulence, beautiful clothes of the era and much more.  Hubs and I both looked at each other when it finished as said  "I could see that again".

A good start was also made on some spring cleaning and after having a month's worth of rain in two days it was time head into the garden to do some clipping back and pull out those pesky weeds which keep popping up.    With the soil being very wet they were not hard to pull out.   Next job is to clip back the seaside daisies and the azaleas now that they have finished flowering.

After my busy morning in the garden I decided to make an early start after lunch with FNSI and  finish off a bucket hat that I am making for Miss M.    Bucket hats are not hard to make but do take time.

I also managed to finish off the two aprons with the Star Wars fabric pockets that were started earlier on in the month as well as finish off another.

Thanks Wendy for organising another FNSI.   Head on over here to do some blog hopping and see what was achieved by the other participants.

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all
