A Chookshed Challenge update.

 I wasn't roped in for extra shifts at work, so I've been enjoying resting on my days off. Not much has been done in the way of housework, just the minimum, you know cooking and a little laundry.  Wednesday I was off out early, I picked up Debbie as she dropped her car at the workshop first thing for it's service. We spent the morning together, Debbie knitting and I was busy with my Chookshed Challenge project. After lunch Debbie and I parted, I went in to work for a meeting before picking up some groceries, then I spent the remainder of the day, sewing some more.

Today I didn't even make it out through the front door. I've spent the majority of the day in my armchair, with a needle in my hand. It's been a good couple of days, I completed another block.


I've been working on this block all week, getting in my 15 minutes on two mornings before work.  It's kind of difficult to see in the above image, the bird house is done in chain stitch and the red border. All the other stitching is back stitch.
I have the next block loaded in my hoop and have made a start. Maybe I could complete it before the month ends. I have one more day off, so I should get a good start on it.

Great when you can spend time on one project and really concentrate. Bloock looks great and I look forward to seeing the next one. xx

That block is so lovely Lou. I find I get much more done when I don't have to go out anywhere - it just cuts in to the day, even just a short trip.
