NEARLY THERE

I have had a busy weekend. My husband went for a walk up to the top of Ben Nevis (training for his charity event next year - see the link on the left hand side) so I had time to do a bit of crafting. I made my postcard with a Fairy theme for the swap on the Crafts Beautiful forum. I will post a picture of it when the swap has taken place. I also managed to get all of the cross stitch finished on my Tweety and Sylvester cross stitch and I am just working my way through the outline.

I have my first alteration to do as well! I colleague at work is the Mother of the Bride in 8 weeks time and needs her skirt altering, I have volunteered myself and it is now hanging in my bedroom ready to be altered. Sounds easy, however it needs to be altered from the waist because of the decorative hem so I have to unpick everything, take nearly a foot off (!), reposition the zip and add the elastic back along the sides! I'm really looking forward to it because I know that I can do it and it's really nice that someone else has faith in me as well. I think it helps that I keep showing her the clothes I make for the kids!

Well I better get on and do a bit more publicising of the hubby's charity event to try and raise the £1000 for Nottingham rape Crisis Centre.
