 Good morning all.

These weeks fly by and here we are in April already.

It's been a busy few days - trying to make the best of nice weather for a trip to Attingham and lunch out and then to complete a little task Max's bestie brought for me. (See last photo).

Firstly, I thought you might like to see the latest "under the sea" twiddler....


It was my hubby's idea to put a mermaid in it. She is sitting amongst the seaweed and coral beside her treasure box. (I know - it's totally over the top but I loved doing it and it might put a smile on someone's face - who knows!)
And then,

Note to self - find out exactly what you are being asked to do before you say yes!!!

The "little job" was to make new covers for seat cushions. Foolishly, I imagined a nice little sewing job like I did here.

But no, it was to re-cover seat pads -  a totally different job requiring tools and  hours of staple pulling, re- padding, renewing fabric and lots of STAPLING!!!!!

I was pleased with the result - I just hope they fit the chairs.


So that's it for this week.

Enjoy this lovely Spring weather.

    Wow, the mermaid mitt is spectacular and I'm sure all those details will really captivate the recipient - it's a work of art. You deserve a gold star for tackling the chair seats, it's not an easy job at all - you've made them look very professional.
    Hope you have a great week,

    That is a spectacular mermaid, Jo! I’m terrible at under-estimating jobs as well. I’m glad the seat covers worked out ok.
    Take care and happy WOYWW
