WET WASHING HANGING ON THE LINE
DRIES SO VERY QUICKLY WHEN THE WEATHER'S FINE!
The lyrics today are from a children's clapping song and was retrieved from the dim and dusty recesses of my musical brain for today's blog! Which is going to be very short and sweet...
Laura from the cafe messaged me to say all the peg bags had been sold, yay! I didn't have any in stock so found some fabric and had a cutting out session:
I thought I'd make five.
There should be something for most tastes with this lot! The quilt squares got rather shoved to one side though...
I'm doing 30 squares this time to make a slightly larger quilt, only about 4 more to do.
This is the sum total of my papers now! I've just got everything out in order to make something involved with the ATCs - I guess all will be revealed fairly soon! Thanks to those lovely gals who have said they'd like to swap xx
That's it! Got a busy morning ahead so my commenting may be a little late xx
Have a great week and enjoy your crafting xxxxxxxx

I managed to get my washing dry on the line yesterday Jan. Those peg bags are fabulous. Hope you have time to continue with the quilts soon. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #4

Perfect fabrics for your fab peg bags - a great fund raiser I am sure looking forward to seeing your ATCs. We have put you on our swap list. x x Jo
Gorgeous peg bags - do people put them out then take them in each day? Mine just sits outside all the time, so I end up throwing last year's pegs and holder away. Wasteful, and I should mend my ways. Perhaps a lovely bag would help. Also, like pulling teeth, getting a commitment on charity items...will follow up! Looking forward to seeing the ATCS. Best few weeks of the year, when we all get to finally share...
Happy WOYWW (back to being on time!)

Loving the song, t's been like that here but looks like a nice day today. Good luck with the ATCs, not long to go now. Love the dog fabric too. Have a lovely creative woyww. Hugs, Angela x8x
WoW !! All the peg bags are sold!
I love the fabrics of the new one you made.
Great job.
And keep on sewing the squares for the bigger quilt.
Wish you a lovely week. With crafting, family and sewing.
And tea and coffee and a big smile.

I would like to swap as well please!! I never thought to let you know!! Foggy brain round here! Too much going on . . . .
Love those peg bags and the pink cats with the purple spots . .sooooo pretty, would make a wash day smiley.
The quilt is beautiful, thank you. Dee is still chipper so that's good.
Enjoy your week

Just read your comment . . re teabags. I squeezed out the teabag after use and left to dry. When it was dry, I emptied the contents into a container and the dregs go on the garden. The left over tissue was rinsed and dried flat.
I have a lovely peg bag that a friend made me 17 years ago for a special birthday. I shall keep it forever as she is now in a care home and has dementia.
Glad you enjoyed my catch up session Jan

Hi Jan, I’d like to swap ATCs with you please! Your peg bags are looking lovely and will soon sell. Our Welsh flag one looks very bright on our washing line.
Take care and happy WOYWW

I'd love to swap if I'm not too late please! I love the peg bags, you are doing a fab job for the charity and I'm not surprised your stuff sells out so quickly.
Hope you have a lovley week,

I loved the smell of freshly dried clothes when I had a clothes line. But I haven't had one in 23 years now. No place to put a line, and no sun! But the bags are beautiful, and if I had to choose one, of course, it would be the one with the cats! Have fun making your ATC's! Have a great week, Lindart #23
I’m not familiar with that skipping rope type song, mind you, it’s possible that I’ve forgotten….! How typical that you have stock of some stuff and it’s something that you haven’t that runs out first. Still, as you don’t procrastinate, it clearly hasn’t been a problem! Your paper stash is looking extremely under control, I hope you have pleasure in using up some more for ATCs. When you need a top up, holler!!!!
Hi Jan, love your peg bags and particularly love mine, especially now that the weather has improved enough for me to get my washing out. Your paper stash makes mine look massive, which is currently a shame since I'm not using it. Have a lovely week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #248
I would love to swap with you, can you please send me your address. Great peg bags, I shall be needing one soon. I ought to get two, one for the caravan, a plastic bag is a bit of a bother Ona windy day 🤣. Happy WOYWW. Angela #16
Hope I am ok and not too late for an ATC swap. I have not been signing up because I was totally stumped but now Julia has said what the theme is (sort of) I can get done,
Fab peg bags as always, yes, you certainly have covered a heck of a lot of tastes with these. I would think the Welsh Dragon ones are big sellers - a souvenir of where folks went on holiday.
Now to my shading - I meant the purple around the edges - it isn't even at all and I cannot seem to get it to be faint but even. I guess if comes with practice and that is what I need to do.
No - the bokeh effect wasn't what we did at the workshop, we did Gelli Plates (using them) like what I have been doing since.
I think it was a lady called Robin who invented the Bokeh technique, it's been around for ages but Jo likes to do different things for her followers and that is a good one to visit. No doubt I will be doing some of those shortly as I like to follow Jo but have so much to catch up on.
Hope you have a lovely week planned ahead.
Hugs, Neet 5 xx
Oh my, my email comment notifications didn't work at all yesterday so I thought I had no comments, came to have a look today and have loads!
Spent most of yesterday trying to sort my glasses out. Had to go back to Boots as my prescription was wrong, the optometrist sorted it out and apologised however the staff on the desk were horrid so I've emailed customer support, glad I took my husband with me this time to see what they were like.
Loving your peg bags

so much finery inspiration! we've had too many good drying days here- high fire danger! looking forward to the swap! Robyn 25
Good morning, Jan!
What a nice call to receive. At least you had supplies on hand and thanks to your recent tidy, could access them quick as a wink. Pretty combinations. You do have an eye for that.
Not so many line days yet. I did get to dry my sheets on the line last week. We'll get there.
Creative Blessings & Hugs! ~Kelly #21
Oh I was sure I'd been! Sorry for such a late popin...but I have been before, honest! I love the cats and doggies they're sooooo cute!
Have a great week, Happy late woyww ((Lyn)) #22
