STILL GOT THE BLUES FOR YOU...
Believe it or not, I'm feeling much better after The Plague! I've been out walking, seeing folk and generally being outside the house, hooray, it took a while but we're getting there.
Consequently, I've done quite a bit more sewing as I've committed to doing a few fairs as well as supplying the Harbour Lights - I still can't get over the amount from the collection tin last week, £516, the best yet!
I knew putting the bed in the JanCave was a bad idea, it's become an extra work surface:
It's just too handy to chuck things onto!
Parts for bags, wrist straps, finished key fobs, finished items, kitchen sink etc.
I'm obsessed with making these, hope I sell some now!
Hence why there's a pile of interfacing strips on the desk - I even put in a new rotary cutter blade!
My sister in law Jill is a wonderful quilter and made this hanging:
Isn't it marvellous? I love the texture of the hills and the water and the way the swans look as if they're in the water rather than on top of it, she's a clever lass!
Hope you've had a good week - may all your crafting go well xxx

Oh Jan, you haven't filled the bed yet there is loads of dumping space left yet!! your SIL's quilted piece is just beautiful. Glad to hear you are feeling much better. Well done indeed on the money raised. Happy WOYWW Helen #2
So glad you are bouncing back to full health Jan and good to see you are filling your new work surface with sewing🤣 Your swan pic is wonderful and I can imagine how long that beautiful quilting took.x x Jo 🌈
Loving the wrist straps. Great idea - I hate hacing to drag along a bag wheb out walking for example, You just need to add a little sleeve to keep your ID and a credit card! Missed out last week due to endless appointments and scans and family chaos, so had to slip back and see your mellow yellow goodies. What great sunny fabric. Love it.
Hoping for a better desk-hop day this week!

Glad to hear you have recovered from the plague!
My husband says I cover any horizontal surface!
Love the swan pic...
Happy WOYWW! Susan #7
I’m chuckling at your bed being covered with stuff Jan. Last week I roared at hubby that he had destroyed my beautiful guest bedroom by piling all his stuff in there. He’s even taken over the wardrobe. When I came home he’d cleared it all up. Must be the Leo in me haha

Glad you are feeling much more like the Jan we all love. Now you can get out and about a bit you should really start to pick up. Fresh air (sea air too!) works wonders.
Lots of lovely work on your desk and bed and that wall hanging by Jill!!! That is so beautiful, what a work of art. I like the fact that the two swans are not mirror images and they sit in the water not on it. Very clever work.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
Hi Jan, I’m so glad you’re feeling better. Lots of sewing in progress on your bed and desk today, and I do like your keyring. I hope they sell well. Your SiL’s quilt hanging is beautiful, it’s true she’s set the swans in perfectly.
Take care and happy WOYWW
Hugs

Your sister’s picture is beautiful. I bet it’s good to have extra space to lay things out, nothing wrong with that at all! I am glad my ghouls card made you laugh x take care x Angela #9
That quilted wall hanging is superb Jan. Glad you are feeling better - it is a horrible illness. I am sure you will sell plenty of the wrist straps to runners/joggers. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah
Hi Jan, if there's a flat surface we have to fill it Lol! Loving the quilted picture, lovely. Pleased to hear you feeling better too and I'm sure those new key fobs and wrist straps will be very popular. Happy woyww, Angela x10x
At least you don't have to sleep in the bed like me! I just HAVE to clear it every night after crafting! What a super quilt the swans are delightful. Hugs BJ#12
I'm thrilled to hear you're feeling better and it's good to see you're happy sewing again. I love Jill's picture...what talent.
Hugs,
Annie x #6
oh yes definitely love your sister's hanging and all your bits and bobs! Glad you are feeling a lot better too! and as for an extra place to put things....yep, ask me how I know...I don't think there's an emptu flat surface in my house! House/dog sitting at the moment so not a lot of crafting going on. Have a happy (late) WOYWW!?((Lyn)) #14
Dear Jan!
Glad to read that you feel better!
Ok, the bed is not there for power napping, it's there for power fabric. Smile! I love the key fobs. Definitely!
And the quilt is georgeous. Hats off..........
Wish you a wonderful rest of the week.

So great to hear that you are feeling better every week! It took me over a year to recover from an asthma episode, and I am only just now able to climb stairs again! I think the key fobs are wonderful! Hope you sell lots, I don't see why not! The quilt is indeed beautiful, I love swans! Clever SIL! Sorry I'm so late, have a lovely week, Lindart #14
