I have been away from Blogland for over a month and it seems a very long time. Each week I have thought about a new page and found I have nothing new to say. Sometimes it is just like that and you have to wait for a while I guess. In the sewing room I have been slowly making a memory quilt for Noah, which has been a joy and a delight as I cut up his little t shirts and turned them into simple blocks.

This will be a single bed size quilt with lots of loved pictures from the t shirts, little pockets and buttons, wiggly bits and dangly legs, Martians and cowboys....

At the moment I am quilting the seams in the ditch to hold it all together. It won't be the flattest quilt ever but it will be very loved indeed....

Last week I rescued a chair! The poor thing was dumped in a car park, the seat split, the canvas rotted so I put it in the car and took it home. I thought it could be my first attempt at chalk painting!! I didn't take a photo of the 'before' but here is the' after' and I am absolutely delighted with the end result. It is perfect for the summer house near the vegetable garden!

The new canvas came from my local fabric shop Fabric Corner......

As it is near the vegetable patch (well if the vegetables would just get on and grow), it is perfect....

I can't wait to have time to sit in it.... maybe soon and if it is, at last, sunny too, glass of wine and seed catalogue in hand....
