I have lots of promised sewing ‘due’ this weekend. Two ‘swaps’, and one ‘challenge’ need to be in the mail on Tuesday, as well as three other ‘promises’ that I just want to get done and off the list. I had anticipated spending the three day weekend sewing, no house work, no yard work, just three relaxing days puttering in my sewing room – heck I wasn’t even planning on getting out of my pj’s unless absolutely necessary. I did my grocery shopping last night so we could have a mini bbq of brats, baked beans, a new potato salad recipe I want to try and a rhubarb pie for D on Monday. And bought quick easy things for dinner the other three nights (frozen pizza, nacho fixin’s, chicken stir fry) so I could just settle into a leisurely weekend for a change.
D informed me this morning that he wanted to go into town on Saturday, my step-mom reminded me that I have a baby birthday party to attend Saturday afternoon, and I just got a call that some work I’ve been waiting to have completed on our office building will finally take place Saturday (I need to be on site). So my Saturday plans, at least, have crashed and burned pretty badly.
Luckily I had a bit of a sewing urge last night, and after dinner I sat down and figured out and finished my submission for the Pincushion Challenge. The theme for this month was fruit so I give you fruit.
I need suggestions for how to photograph it a little more pleasingly. Compared to some of the other submissions mine looks a little like a mug shot, ok a lot like a mug shot. I was thinking maybe a brown paper bag, a half eaten sandwich and an open bag of chips might be cute, but it also might look very wrong as my apple core is closer to grapefruit sized than apple sized. Certainly improving the light would improve it 100%. The suggestion box is open!
