Thanks heaps to all of you.


Today was much cooler so after a walk along the beach I came home and FINALLY cleaned out my SHED.

001

There have been little furry things living in the there and left their droppings all over my bench and light box. YUK!!!    
I took everything out and then swept and scrubbed.

Even bleached my fish .

002    Ah!!!  Nice and clean.


Now I can finally finish my window and not before time. If you click on the word window you will see what I mean.

I hope to sit in the sewing room tonight and TRY to finish a quilt before the end of the month.
Happy Stitching.

  1. Your stained glass window looks fantastic, all the best in getting it finished- I don't like little furry things either and with the colder weather it's time to make sure they stay outside. You were lucky in that give away, nice blocks too

  6. O Maria - just break my heart! Stained glass is one of those things that just take my breath because they are so beautiful. Plus, I totally adore your design.

    One time I asked for a class from a man who did it . I had done some embroidery work for it-but he did not have enough time -so I was unable to carry through.

    So, I applaud the beauty that you have created! :)

    I know what you mean about the weather allowing us to get things done.
