I’ve decided to include a large painted silk centrepiece and
the pictures show it in progress, just before completing the edging. Many
hours of happy crafting lie ahead of me!
Not all went smoothly last week though. I was sitting
comfortably in my favourite old patio chair when the fabric seat gave way. Have
I really eaten that much cake during lockdown. My bum hit the deck and I was
left with my legs pointing skywards through the frame in a most undignified way.
Mr J had a job to extract his poor wife and all credit to him for keeping a
straight face! But hey ho, we crafters
are a positively ingenious lot. As the old saying goes, 'If life gives you lemons, make lemonade', so once I’d nursed my bumps and bruises I looked at the
nicely seasoned good quality wood in the arms of the old chair and wondered if
I could saw some nice jewellery making elements from it! Perhaps I will carve
some leaf shapes and call it ‘Fall’.
