"Sewing for the Kitchen, makes a Happy Monday."

Hello,

Happy Monday.

Since I have been tidying up my sewing room I have found a few projects that needed my attention. In this case a piece of fabric that was waiting to be made up. Always happy when something gets used up in the sewing room. I made a kitchen set consisting of a reversible apron, potholder and glove.

"Kitchen Trio."

I used Lucy's old cooking apron from school to trace the pattern. The other side is the blue fabric. I used Brother Machine Embroidery Card Number 55 for the embroidery designs. I found I had enough of that wadding that is heatproof for the glove. I also used some cotton wadding so there is no chance of burnt fingers while using the oven glove. For something different I used "Feather Stitch" for the quilting.

We are very happy here at Kainga that rain has decided to fall. We had a very dry July with only 14.75mls in July. We have passed that mark already in August.

There was a Craft/Wood Show on in Perth on the weekend. Ian and I had planned to go but with the car being out of action and a few appointments in Perth already this week I decided not to go. I was only really after one embroidery thread that I need for a cross stitch. Instead I plan to do some on-line ordering so I won't miss out.

I know I don't post sad things on Happy Monday but I was sad when I read in the paper last week that Maeve Binchy had passed away. I loved reading her books. Now I will have to find another Author to satisfy my reading tastes.

Happy Monday.
