First Post

Well today no sewing went on in this house. We have had a wonderful Spring day and I just had to spend some time in the garden.  There is always a lot of tidying up at this time of year, but today Mr D and I spent our time cleaning our drive.  The first couple of hours was spent on our hands and knees cleaning out the moss from the brick joints, and once that was done out came the jet washer.  What fun it is to use the washer.  You certainly have to dress for it, otherwise you are absolutely soaked (well I am).  While we were cleaning the bricks, the little boy J from across the way came to visit.  We haven't met before, but he made himself at home and brought his scraper to help us.  Once we got onto sweeping he went home to collect his very own ash pan and brush, such a cute little boy, I hope we stay friends for a long while.

Although I have not been sewing, I am trying to get a pattern for (think its called) Sunburst Rose pattern, so I have been combing the net and found a pattern, but I can't seem to make it work.  I am going to my sewing group tomorrow, so I am hoping my friends can help me.  You may be able to see by looking here .  I should not be even looking at this, as I do have a few things to finish, but one of my finished minis went in the post on Thursday.  I belong to a flickr group, and we are doing a swap, and this is the mini that I have just sent to my partner.

I hope my partner likes it.

Well, I am now going to sign off to see if this works or if I have to go back to the drawing board.
