Re-entry

Re-entry is exactly what life feels like. After 15 days of feeling really ill, I am definitely better and nearly well again. We went out to lunch with friends yesterday, and it was so nice to see other people and join in the chat. I am so grateful to be feeling better.

I am not going to link up with Lily's Quilts Fresh Sewing Day as I have only had a fortnight sewing in March, and my sewing seems to have been comprised of bee blocks and zippy pouches.

Today, I must have been back on form, as I have been sewing and having a lovely afternoon pottering with fabric and thread. First up, I made a cover for my iPad. I have been using a cover that has seen better days so I have gone ahead and made a fabric cover. I used my stash of Summersville to make it. I followed this pattern and it came together really easily. I like the fact that the sun was out and there is shadow in the photo!

I then decided that my wonder clips, which are a recent 'buy,' needed  dedicated storage as they will get mislaid if left on my desk.

I whipped up a little 5" x 5 1/2" zippy pouch, using one of my charity shop zips, and had a play at free motion writing.
A bag for everything
All in all it has been a very pleasant way to spend the afternoon.

Tomorrow, my hubby and I are going up to London for a night away, leaving the teenage sons 'home alone'. I just love this part of having teenagers. I will obviously be taking my iPad in it's smart cover!
