I just want to stay home

I have a horrible sore throat and a general feelin gof bleeugh so after a quick walk into town in the pouring rain yesterday I've spent most of my time at home with sewing machine. Nothing great has been produced but a couple of different shaped animals patterns which I'm going to try and improve next week

First a little elephant with a VERY long trunk. It wasn't intentional but as I was stuffing him I realised it was HUGE. I've coiled it so as not to frighten the horses as it looked a bit phallic if I'm honest. I'm going to try again with this idea but next time take notice of the proportions.

Next

This little pig needs legs but I think has worked quite well, again she's just a practice really but it's nice when ideas come together.

And lastly

This is my favourite monster of the weekend. I think he looks a bit unsure and scared of his new surroundings. Lord I sound mad. I think I might have a little lie down.


All of this month is going to be devoted to improving my fitness. I'm aiming to be teetotal until Christmas and really cut back on the amount of coffee I'm drinking. It's not so much the caffeine as the amount of sugar I have in it that I thin kis making me feel so rubbish. They'll probably be a great many tearful ranting posts over the next two weeks. I'm hoping I can run off the cold turkey symptoms but I'm going to be hell to live with. David wants to try as well. Goodness this is going to be a happy household this month.
