Whats in your top sewing machine draw????? 20th August 2015

I’m running late to link with Esther this week, have been down with a virus,  missed last week as my family needed me most of the week,  I have been checking in on Esther’s blog http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/  she is showing us how she is making her beautiful Omar’s Blues quilt but that is the only quilting I have done for a couple of weeks.

I tipped out my top sewing draw today as yesterday I was looking for something that should have been in there but I could not see it, when you look at the below photo you will see why I could not see it LOL.  There was every thing in this draw but what should have been does any one else have a draw like mine????

Would you believe all this came out of my top draw?????? only about 1/10th should have been in there. there were there were 22 screws in there and only one of them for a sewing machine LOL. 10 empty plastic bags!!!!  even a china knob from a brass bed?????  1/2 a butterfly metal belt !!!

This is all that should have been in there???????  now I can place items that should be in there like my bobbins and machine needles which sit on top of my sewing area!!!!!!!

My bobbins and needles are now in the draw and my rubbish bin is full LOL.  I should now do my other 2 draws but I’m not going to, its time to play with material.

Last night I did a running stitch around 4 of my Annabelle circles ready to roll the edges around a circle of cardboard to make a nice edge for appliquéing them to the background of a quilt WIP.

My delightful Annabelle every time I look at this wee creature she makes me smile. She is designed by Michele at A Simple Thread

Right hand block turned under ready to be appliquéd .

Splashes of colour in the garden this morning. 

For you Karen. This is where I put the lounge sofa yesterday, I just need to find time to use it now LOL

All the white paint of our front parch was covered in mould and yesterday I attacked it with exit mould the only thing that will get rid of it, it has to be sprayed on and left and it kills the bug till the next wet season comes and a new one grows.

I’m about 1/2 way through cleaning off the mould on the front of the house.  If you are able to zoom in on the photos you can see in the right and left hand corner at the top of the photo the mould is still there, this is not as bad as what the rest was like yesterday morning.  I have cleaned the walls and the middle section in the photo. 

Off now to link up with Esther’s WOW http://www.estheraliu.blogspot.com/  For the last two weeks Esther has been showing us how she is assembling her beautiful Omar’s Blues quilt step by step that she designed and is a free BOM at present. Such a beautiful beautiful quilt.

Thank you for dropping in. Cheers Glenda Australia.
