Hmm, no photo today. Back to work this week, but not properly. It's the no-man's land of work. I have to be at school, but classes don't start until 1st October. A mixture of being busy and trying to look busy.
Still excited by the prospect of gocco-ing, just trying to get hold of some paper/card samples to print on. This week I hope. I also picked up a paper cutter at Lidl today and it seems to work really well. I'd bought a cheap cutter years ago and took it back, it was awful, just a stanley knife blade that ripped the paper, but this seems to cut cleanly. It also comes with a blade that perforates and a wavy blade. I think it'll be a big help cutting up paper for the gocco....
The blackwork sampler is coming along, most of the outline is stitched, I hope I'm not making it too small to work the filler stitches, I'm hoping that with 32 count linen I'll have the space I'll need.
I wore the blouse to work yesterday and I was really pleased with the fit and look, the day before I wore some linen drawstring trousers I'd sewn and it feels great wearing clothes that really fit well and are comfortable. I hadn't realised how different it would feel - I hadn't thought that the clothes I normally wear didn't fit...
Last note to self - that curry was delicious! Maybe the wine and coconut made it special? Hmm, the freshly ground coriander didn't hurt, and the mustard seeds - yum!
OK, that's it.
