Just a year ago Natalie from Threads and Bobbins started to share 7 photos from here week. One year on Sunday Sevens is still going strong and she’s not on her own! There’s quite a bunch of Sunday Seveners out their, including me! I was a late starter to the party so it’s number 26 for me.
Head over to Natalie’s special birthday blog Post where she’s put on a celebratory giveaway to 7 lucky readers!
1. I made a start on a special pressie for a friend to send to her partner who is in the Royal Navy and is away somewhere in a submarine and will be away for his birthday. Ive printed these photos onto special paper that will be transferred onto fabric.
2. H has started back at school in year 9.
3. Gemma picked up the finished pressie and brought me these! I much prefer choccies over wine!!
4. New shoes – comfy from M&S! Similar to my pink ones that I’ve worn to death through the summer.
6. I’m not short of patterns but I couldn’t help myself and bought the sew independent pattern bundle no 2 whilst stood by at work.
Didn’t think I’d have much for you this week. But as usual I have too many! The feature photo was taken at the end of one of my 0-5k sessions this week whilst walking my 5 minutes cool down. So far so good! I’m not getting any faster but I’m sticking to it so I’m happy!
Oh, my ~ can I move into your non-existent basement?! Lol!!! 😉 This side of the pond can’t get their heads around the concept of living in a walkable community, and even working where you live. And I even want a bit of country alongside that – agh!!!
Now. About Godiva. I need to get you the web site. It’s a reputable (over here) & veddy expensive brand of European chocolate. Haute chocky, if you will.
Thank you for the invite! That would be fabulucious! Would mean packing no clothes, just the machine . . . if they cleared it through security. Maybe I should just ship the machine? Drat – your electrics wouldn’t work – wrong plugs. Hmmmm… we’ll have to give this another think.
Totally with you on loving chocolates over wine! Loving your elephant fabric and looking forward to seeing what becomes of that neckline–I’ve cut them like that before but always after they’re sewn, so looks like a new technique to me. I hope H has a great year at school.
You & Rach…… Spoolettes reunited!! Made me chuckle……!
Loving the elephant fabric. (I’m at about that stage with my Made Up make!).
And glad to hear the c25k is going well.
What was the photo fabric turned into? Such a lovely thought!
I’m running out of time too with my made up initiative, started sewing last night! Love the elephant fabric!
I’d be a size 10 if it wasn’t for chocolate, and wine with it would be perfect! I think my tribe would prefer me not to be a chocolate lover. And cake. I love cake!
Lovely pics again. Well done with the running. Does H grow every time you take a photo of him?
Boys growth rate at that age is scary. Is he patting you on the head yet?
Oooooh I almost bought the pattern bundle too but decided I didn’t need any more at the moment! Looking forward to seeing what you make out of it! I love your elephant fabric 😀 Well done on keeping up with your running too…I still haven’t started! Ha!
I’m quite taken with the VNA top myself for the same reasons as you! However, that would mean an internet shop to get suitable fabric. I would really like to get started on a Jasper hoodie because I think it could be made from things in my stash and it’s definitely a skill-builder!
I’ve been eyeing up the jasper hoodie for a while, looks like its something that would get worn a lot.
I would love to go but sadly I work on a Wednesday. 😞Let me know when you next go shopping on a school holiday! I have actually found some Lycra from Boyes that I’m going to attempt to make a VNA top with. I’ve got the Yorkshire Coast 10k in just over two weeks and I think it would be cool to run in a top I’ve made!
Mmm. Tough choice between wine and chocolate – no, it’s not – has to be chocolate. I prefer Thornton’s over Cadbury. I’ve tried Godiva and other premium Belgian and Swiss brands and they’re nice but too expensive for day to day or for when you just need a chocolate fix. I think they generally have a higher cocoa content.
Thanks! I’m SE of Leeds for the golf, then N for the meeting and am hoping to meet up with a friend who lives between Leeds and Bradford in between times. We’d probably meet in Leeds. I’m there Saturday to Wednesday. I think I could try Fabworks – I’ve heard it mentioned and have never been. And sounds like those two you mention in Leeds, too.
Thank you. I’ll have a look at your map. I’ve heard about a certain roundabout in Dewsbury though!
The golf at Oulton Hall was fun. Regrettably I’m not a single figure handicapper!
