a sneek peek . . .

progress report
I have joined in The Hottie Challenge, with 59 others, over at Curly Pops Blog
I am determined to NOT be the last one to finish this Hottie Cover, particularly as all the proceeds are going to a very worthwhile charity.

So, I have cut my vintage table cloth up (no crying please, it had massive HOLES in the main part, I'm saving the good bits).  I have selected a few embellishments, and I am feeling positive...

  6. Re your comment on my anniversary: very funny Lyndel, I wish I had one but alas no wedding tea towel.
    Also on dog on quilt: that really cracked me up because when my husband is home (he is away on business quite alot) the dog is NOT allowed on the bed! It is a big No No. You said it's not a doggy blanket, my husband says our bed is not a kennel...it's a big bone (ha!) of contention between us...anyway just had to tell you, I'm in a hurry so forgive poor grammmar etc x

  7. Looks great. what a fab idea. I must get another hottie, when the last one died with a hole we changed to wheat bags. Now I've given up the microwave - never trusted those things - we need hotties!!!

  8. Hiya
    I’m just sending out a quick message to let people know their Faith Hope and Charity Swapping partners. Days of spreedsheet fiddling I tell you, if this works it’s going on my CV! I won’t have access to a PC from Tues 31st until June 6th – so any questions will have to wait til I get back I’m afraid. I’m going to put up a quick post on the rules before I go, but for now you can check out your partner’s blog and start figuring out what they might like.
    Your swap partner is Carole at Serendipity, raindrops and Roses
