Finally the border is nearly done.

April 11, 2020

I had an odd thought today. I keep seeing people posting on Facebook about things like petrol prices. I just noticed I have no idea. I haven’t seen a petrol station in over 3 weeks. I am told it’s really cheap at the moment, but realistically it could be really expensive, I have no clue. It is a pretty odd feeling. Food sadly I do know the price of and boy is that going up fast. I hope between growing more and supporting local businesses I can help keep that down a bit and support small businesses where I can’t.

I decided to lay out the circles in had made so far as a mock up of the next border.

I am very glad I did, I don’t need anywhere near as many circles as I thought. They take enough time and effort it would have been annoying to have surplus. I am also loving the drawers I set up erm, two years ago. I need some stabiliser to keep this flat when I stitch it. There in the drawer marked stabilizers and fusibles was exactly what I needed. It is a little thing, but after years of not having things sorted it was lovely to just go to the right drawer and find what I needed.

I am also happy to report the simnel cake is a success, we will eat the evidence of that. Oh and I  nearly forgot the best thing that happened today. We woke up to 2 boxes of fruit and veg on our doorstep. A lot of people complain that orders take 3 or 4 days, I love that it arrives, is great quality when it is a surprise when it does come. It does suffer from some substitutions but even so it’s wonderful and makes me happy.
