Mini Archie’s May Furtle Around The Blogosphere

 

Furtle (v): to have a rummage or delve into the contents of something

Hello! I’ve done some sewing this month! Unfortunately, I can’t share it just yet so instead I have this:

That’s all the fabric washed and ironed (fortunately just the pink FQs and the panda LV) for my new project, my quilt stamp project bag (ink pads, stamps, apliquick scissors for cutting the pieces out (they have a tiny pinked blade which means the pieces fray less and are easier to cut out), etc.) downstairs, and waiting and a project tin established but I’ve a feeling I’ve forgotten something vital. Here’s a closer look at the project tin:

Two pin cushions as I couldn’t decide which pins I’ll use (fine glass-headed or entomology) so brought both down; a needle minder (on the tin wall next to the mice) in case I need to park my needle for more than a few seconds (which has reminded me what I’ve forgotten: needles!); two pairs of embroidery scissors, one for cutting threads and another with a fine pinked blade in case I need to trim any seam allowances; a wee box to act as a bin; a thread catcher in case I decide to use that instead of the bin; and a reel of cotton thread. All I need now are some pieces to sew together! And needles. 

Rose Archie has just started flowering and this will hopefully be its final summer in a pot as I’m hoping to transplant it into the raised bed it stands next to in the autumn (with help!):

I might have a snooze while is here

Linking up to the May Furtle 

If you're linking up, please add a link (one per person, please) to your blog post, which could contain: a mosaic of all you've made in the month, something you've made/started/worked on, a goal which you'd like to achieve in the next month (and then in next month's post you can reflect on that goal and set yourself another one - I find this particularly handy if I'm in the midst of a big project and finding the making of hundreds of blocks to be interminable), anything crafty you'd like to share. This isn't just for sewing or quilting, but is for all crafts so if you knit, make lace, make clothes, do anything which could come under the heading of 'craft', then please link up. Please visit the link immediately before and after you and leave an encouraging comment, and more if you can manage it - we all know that comments create joy, so let's spread some around. Also, please treat all the linked posts and their authors with respect - I want this to be an inclusive space for all crafters and crafts and all are welcome. If you're not sure if you're welcome or you belong, you do - this is by no means a closed space and if you want to join, then you are most welcome. If you need help linking up, please leave a comment and I will do my best to help. Please add the Furtling button to your blog post: copy the code below and paste it into your blog post - it should then magically appear when you publish your blog post (I'll do my best to help if you have any problems) and it will help people find the Furtling page with all the details of the link up.

To link up, go to the link at the bottom of this page and click on 'link up' (it's a blue button) and then add your link (website URL), a title (this could be your blog name but could also be something interesting to draw people to it (keep it clean!) if you prefer), and your email. This last one doesn't appear on the link (I will have access to it - I won't use it unless there's a problem and I need to contact you) so don't worry that you're about to share your email address with the world (or the handful of people who find this link), you're not! The link will remain open until 10th June; if you're seeing this post after this date, I'm afraid you can't link up to the May Furtle, but you can link next month if you like.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
