Of Mice and Men!

Well the best laid plans sometimes go ary!

Sadly I didn't make it here:


Daughter was still too poorly (though improving now) and I was utterly exhausted.  But it sounds like a brill time was had by all (going by all the foody pics on IG!) and I know there will be other opportunities in the future to meet up with my bee mates.

What I did get to do instead, was lots of sewing!  With youngest daughter staying at a friend's house and poorly daughter tucked up in bed, I had a few hours of uninterrupted sewing!

A few pencil cases to put into my sister's shop.  And also some make-up style pouches:

There was a little bit of recycling going on there, with the navy corduroy pouches.  There are a few more make-up bags to come (sorry!) which are part-way finished.

I also got another wee commission project ticked off my list today, but I'll show you that another time!

So while I was missing sewing alongside my Brit Bee buddies this weekend (and not getting to see Uni daughter today) I still managed to get the sewing done which I would have brought away with me. 

And now a storm is closing in, so it's time to batten down the hatches and snuggle up under a quilt!
