Happy Easter & more RSC

 

I enjoyed this gingerbread easter bunny with a cup of coffee for morning tea as hubs and I sat outside on our balcony enjoying the glorious autumnal weather that we are having at present.    It has been a quiet Easter as we celebrated Easter last weekend with Miss M and her parents with Miss M staying on with us until the middle of the week.  Having been out and about every day with Miss M last week I have decided to stay home for the rest of the school holidays as the City and everywhere else that we visited was soooooooo crowded and busy.   

I have taken advantage so far of this "self imposed exile" by catching up on a few domestics, then tiding up the sewing room and finishing off two table mats. I have had the fabric in my stash for sometime and seeing that there was quite a lot of red in it it fitted in well with the RSC of month.     


There was enough  fabric to make two good sized tops which I use when putting out dishes for when we have guests so that they can serve themselves as much or as little as they like.  It is quite a fun piece and many of the labels are still relevant today.  

There is one more week left of "lying low" and only venturing out early in the morning  to do some grocery shopping but there are plans to finish off a couple more items in the sewing room that are at various stages of completion.    

Enjoy the rest of the Easter weekend however you celebrate. 

Back soon and in the meantime

  Happy sewing all

It’s nice to sometimes spend quiet time at home when the rest of the world is going crazy. Make the most of it.

A self imposed stay at home, it often a good chance to take life a bit simpler.
