Anyone into lead lighting? How gorgeous are these?

Not it sure if this one is lead light or the liquid type or a combination ... but still gorgeous!

hahahaha ..... I don't think so!!! Dressing up to do your sewing??? As if!

Image may contain text that says Advice from a Singer Sewing Machine Manual from 1949 Prepare yourself for sewing you going to do Never approach sigh lackadaisically Good results are difficult when indifference dominates Never try to sew with a sink full of dirty dishes or beds unmade When there are housekeeping first so that your mind is free enjoy When make yourself as attractive as possible on dress Keep a little bag of French chalk fingers hair in order powder and constantly fearful that visitor might come home you will will not enjoy your intervals put on not look neatly put sewing

@arpie So that is why I don't enjoy sewing.

I cracked up about not being able to Sew with a sink full of dishes. I guess that's why I like scrapbooking. Doesn't matter if I have a sink full of dishes. I am finding I am having a bit of fatigue after radiation now so quite often I do the dishes the next morning.

I have just finished knitting a throw rug, Bendigo Woollen Mills yarn, for Sister inlaw 70th birthday
She loves blue in accessories and her clothing . It's folded in half

Here is a photo from a few years ago with My Little Man and his Easter Bunny haul. The knitted basket on the right still gets used each year.

(Not mine!) Check out these cool designs for Tiger and Zebra quilts ..... LOVE THE TIGER!

Amazing the difference the colour choices make with the Zebras ..... I like the first one best .... similar colours to the tiger, too

@arpie love the collage quilts. There are some very creative people out there.

I'm new here and just returned to painting last year. It has been crucial in keeping me occupied over the last weeks while I've been waiting for tests etc and especially now as I'm waiting for a call any day with my surgery booking. I love all the crafts in here, I also sew, applique/quilt and knit. This is my latest painting.

Dear @StrongCoffee,
Beautiful! I'm imagining the painting is of a scene at dawn, near a beach on the east coast. It is just starting to get light where I am now. Best wishes for your surgery coming up.

@jennyss thank you, I'm not sure if I'll feel more or less anxious once I have the date 😐

Hi,

Ive taken up my crochet hook again. I learnt at the beginning of chemo and it helped keep me sane. I bought myself a crochet kit to celebrate the end of active treatment and over Easter I felt well enough to make a start. Im making a cardigan for my daughter.
