Sunday - started off OK, I got through the routine chores very quickly (!) and made a good start on my Christmas Quilt a Long list, that is until a power cut caused by the foul weather brought my machine to a grinding halt for over an hour! Not too long really and I was just settling down to start again when then was a knock on the door heralding an unexpected visit from some of our neighbours in the village - no more sewing.
Monday - I'd voluteered to help make Christmas puddings for the Christmas Fair to raise funds for the local Cat Protection Society. Off I go thinking it would be just a couple of hours - do you know how long it takes 6 women to mix up enough ingredients for 50 x 1lb puddings, including chopping dried fruit, grating peel off dozens of lemons etc etc? Well, it took a lot longer than a couple of hours, mind you DH seems to think that it might have taken less time if we'd not talked so much ! By the time I got home I was so covered in treacle and other gooey stuff that all I wanted was a shower, some clean clothes and sit down for longer than 5 minutes- no sewing.
Tuesday - DH's birthday and a day that turned into a cross between manning the phone at a busy call centre and open day at the local lunatic asylum - no sewing !
Today it's been catch up day for all the chores that haven't been done this week - no sewing !
Tomorrow , as we didn't make it on Tuesday, its' out for DH's celebration birthday lunch and chuck in some Christmas shoping - no sewing!
No bets are being taken that anything will go to plan for the rest of the week,my normal sewing time has been hijacked and I am resigned to the fact that I will be lucky to switch on my machine before next Sunday.
