morning ladies Big black clouds out there so am expecting some much wanted rain.
Oh_hunnihunni, I hope the bathroom heater you want is put in. My sister wasn't allowed to change any of the plans until she moved in. Which to us seemed silly as it would have been cheaper for her to pay any differences and they do the installation as they built. But seeing as they buy everything in bulk for a bunch of houses, they refused to budge. So when some delivery guys scraped her brand new flooring, she was delighted as they had to pay for the flooring she originally wanted through the body corp insurance lol.
I sewed MrK's masks yesterday and must admit they do look really nice. He hates loops over his ears so I sewed elastic to go around his head. A weird thing happened to my machine the other day when sewing his 'prototype'. Was debating which stitch would be the strongest to hold the elastic and my machine set itself to the right stitch. I wasn't touching my machine at all and it has never done that before or since. I probably sound nuts, but I firmly believe my grandmother who is long gone got fed up with me dilly dallying lol and chose the stitch. I could feel someone with me at the time watching. As I said, weird and a little nuts but thanks Nana lol.
This morning I'm going to clean the outside windows, it will be nice to be able to look through them properly lol. One of my sisters-in-law says you just look passed the dirt but I can't do that. It won't take long with the Karcher anyway and I have the extension poles so don't even need to get a ladder out.
I have redrawn my tui and downsized it so there won't be so much stitching. After I've done the windows I'll transfer it to the fabric ready for embroidering. Our boys are skiing in the half pipe this afternoon so might even make a start while waiting for them to do their thing.
I watched the Great British Sewing Bee last night and what an eclectic group of people there is this time round. The woman who cried (sobbed!) during the last challenge drove me nuts. Crying was just wasting precious time when she could be sewing. Have your meltdown when times up. In saying that, she's braver than me to be sewing on international TV. I think the secret to the last challenge is choosing your fabric carefully and having a plan in your head as to how you are going to tackle it. And use the practice time at home. It will be interesting to see how the series progresses.
Time to get cracking. Happy crafting
