It's Saturday evening and I'm doing my couch potato impression, lounging on the sofa watching a TV programme about development in China and sewing a needelpoint cushion cover. It's a simple squares design that uses up lots of leftover wool and is about halfway complete. All the way complete is the oval needlepoint design I made up into a cushion, which is featured here. I do love these patterns that allow you to indulge in any colour combination that takes your fancy. So much nicer than kits that dictate what exact shade you need to use.
Today was spent doing odd chores, grocery shopping and planting stuff out on the allotment. I also managed to squeeze in a spell of charity shop mooching, and picked up some goodies. A funky purple patterned pillowslip and three dishes and a saucer in a Midwinter design from Staffordshire pottery. I really do need to sort out some display for the bits & pieces of china I've got. They're all stuffed away in cupboards here and there, and it'll be so much nicer to see them out on shelves. Would be lovely to have one of those huge pine dressers brimming over with vintage crockery supplemented by modern Emma Bridgewater pieces. In my dreams, eh?
