Not a lot accomplished...

So this is what I've made this week.

Six sawtooth stars using some Kaffe Fassett scraps. I'm going to put them on point, but thought I should take a photo to monitor progress this far. I've cut out the pieces for another six, but they'll have to wait until I get back from France next week. I leave early Thursday morning with 31 teenagers, all set for a bracing week on the north French coast, near Bayeux.

Of course there's a compulsory visit to the tapestry on Friday morning (I say of course because I've devised the itinerary.....)

And this is what Jim's done this week. If you're wondering what it is - it's a hole in the bedroom ceiling, casued by him putting his foot through the plasterboard. The hole is about 50 cm across, and I think I may have to ask someone to come round and repair it - I don't think I can bodge anything together

I'm grateful that he only hurt his ego, and that it was the bedroom and not the sewing room that got covered in bits of plaster, and loft insulation, and lots and lots of filthy black bit sof who knows what - but at the same time I'm more than a little annoyed that this incident happened at about 10.00 am - and when I got in from work nine hours later, there was still dirt and grime everywhere - he claims that he 'hadn't noticed it'.

Grumble grumble.

We're having a new bathroom installed, and tonight there is a) no heating and b) no hot water. When I watch the make over shows on television, it all looks so easy!!

No more posts until I return from visits overseas. By then I hope that the bathroom is in - or at least that I can get washed and keep warm!!
