We had a lovely week away at the Austin Seven Centenary Event (over a thousand Austin Sevens dating from 1922 to 1939 with their dedicated owners). As usual I brought some stitching, three varied projects, and as so often happens they never made it out of the stitching bag; there was far too much to do, including an outing with all the family and all the family cars. We were really pleased about that as we’ve never managed to get them all together before!
Then we got home and perhaps not surprisingly after such an event (although most of it took place in the open air) Mr F and I both came down with Covid. Praise God we’ve both been fully jabbed, but even so it is Not Nice. My most physically and intellectually challenging activity at the moment is reading detective novels I’ve read before so it doesn’t matter if I miss something.
So has there been no stitching at all? Well, I did manage a little something in the couple of days between returning and succumbing; it’s a new project I’m quite excited about and I’ll report on it in more detail in a future FoF when I feel human again. For now here is a modified satin stitch trunk in Danish Blomstergarn:
Sorry to hear you’ve both had CoVid. We both have too. We had it whilst living in the caravan during our kitchen refurb which still isn’t finished and we’re now in week 7! The time estimate was 3 weeks so we’re a tad fed up just now although we are back home, albeit with limited kitchen equipment. Anyway, the new project looks interesting and I’m excited to see how it develops.
