Time simply slips away...





when you decide to have a good clear out of your sewing room and make space for a single bed! Yes peeps I have succumbed to finally putting a single bed in my sewing room. I suppose its because I had my precious little man stay overnight (very rare) and he had to sleep in our bed with me while DH slept on the couch. Whilst our couch is a big leather corner suit and extremely comfortable I felt a bit mean on Colin as he works long hours in the cab and he never complains. Overwhelmed by guilt I set to in the sewing room. Oh lord it took all day Saturday and the best part of Sunday and I still have a little bit of rejigging to do before a single bed will fit into the allocated space.  So all sewing has been on hold and I have therefore had nothing to blog about so today I thought I would share some pages from my sketch book showing rabbit and his two new friends Hedge and his son Hog. Original I here you all say ha ha but that's the names that popped into my head when drawing them. I think these guys might find themselves appliqued and stitched one day you never know?????

I think you could illustrate a childrens book.

Why not write one for Cole, with himself as the main character, wouldn't he love that!

Hahah oh my word Kath, great minds think alike, I thought of that. I have a little story in my sketch book called Cole and Lily at the sea side will post a pic. I was only thinking of writting a story about rabbit and his balloon this morning when I was doodling the Hedgehogs. Only got as far as thinking about it at the minute lol xx

Lovely pictures Susan - they will make great embroideries. Sounds like a major upheaval to get that bed in!

Hi Lin Yes it is proving to be a bit of a struggle. x
