And So The Adventure Begins.....

.....today the door officially opened on the Sew Kirstie patchwork and quilting studio.....



Out of necessity, as I no longer work part time hours, but still have The Dog to exercise, my day starts like this (well....after the obligatory breakfast and school run...)....



Then, because today was my first day, in the New Job, there was some of this....


.....and there was time for some of this......


It's amazing just how much you can achieve, when you're working in a designated sewing space. Having never had a Sewing Room, and always having to work on my dining table, progress has been, at times, disjointed!! Oh the simple pleasure of having everything to hand, and not having to tidy away at Feeding Time. YAY!!

I also have some "taster session" style workshops organised, to introduce a gentler, quieter way of life, in the form of hand stitching. First up is the time honoured method of English Paper Piecing. How I love this newly fashionable, highly addictive, highly portable form of fabric therapy. Let's hope that the good people of Christchurch agree with me.....


I wonder where this new path is going to lead me.....wherever it may be, I'm sure it will be fine - I have fabric...


Lucky,LUCKY me.

Thanks for popping by. See you soon. xx
