Sewing and injuries


I actually have managed to get some sewing done. I have completed two blocks in Flowers fron My Garden and several blocks stitched from An Angels Story. The stitcheries are my take any where and sit and sew project. I pick up the project roll my Mum made me and the Bratz pencil tin that I borrowed from Sarah and off I go. We all need a project to carry. Sometimes I might get a section of a stichery done, other times I end up doing only one or two stitches at the most and it gets put away as a task to come back to. Well it is a WIP after all!
Flowers in my Garden in a project that is not so easy to transport. After cutting out all the pieces then ironing it onto the chosen fabric all the edges are glue basted down. Each piece is then joined into smaller units, before sewing it to the background. There are 16 blocks. So slow and steady for this one too!
I have included a picture of my bruises. I am proud of these!!! My first "serious" bruising as a result of TKD!!! You should see the other guy!!! We were practicing board breaking and although I managed to break the board eventually the attempts leading up to the successful break resulted in my delicate little arm going chameleon on me.
