The transformation of 6m of white cotton to a beautiful set of colours for my next stitching project well, that was last Friday and Saturday taken care of ..
So relieved that all the buckets and bags remained whole as I drove home ....
Its hard work rinsing and washing all that fabric but exciting as the colours emerge
Some sunrise colours here
and the black to pale grey set will be perfect for pavements and stone walls ...
Finally, I found them a nice resting place .... but they won't be there very long.
One short flight on Sunday and now I'm enjoying some late autumn sunshine at home in France .... there are five dogs, two people and walks twice a day ... so twice along the quiet back road in the morning and twice around the lake in the afternoon. Lots of steps and lots of time for reflection.
In between my kennel assistant routine I slipped in some sedentary jobs. So, big news here, today I sent my novel, well, the first three chapters and a synopsis, out to several agents.
It felt the right time and I now have to wait for, what? Well, who knows. Fingers crossed ... But doing that leaves my mind free to continue with what at the moment I am calling Novel 2.
That felt a big thing to be doing so in between I tacked a small quilt ready for, yes, you've guessed, quilting. There was a slight hiatus in this gentle activity when in the middle of the morning I lost the thread and scissors.
They were there when I went out to feed the hens and gone when I returned. The fabric was undisturbed, my pincushion was there but no scissors and spool of tacking thread
The culprit was Naomi ... loveable and naughty and very fond of chewing ... and eventually I found the evidence. She now has a hard(ish) rubber ball to chew and I have learnt not to leave temptation in her reach!!!
There's a book review coming up in the next post .... do read on or is it up?
