Thank goodness it's Friday!

So glad this week is over, I am so shattered and my sleep is all over the place. Been falling asleep on the settee at 9pm but spending 11pm to about 1am just laying there unable to stop my poor little brain from working. It was so bad last night I got up and got a book from the Down Syndrome Group's Resource library that I have been working on, and lay there reading!!

The building has stopped for a few days, had Building Control around today who wanted a few changes made, but the builders still hope to lay the concrete foundations Tuesday. Fingers crossed- I am hoping that I will have a least some security to the garden before the school holidays start otherwise we will be like prisoners in our own home!

After running around this morning I managed to get some crafting done this afternoon. As I sat in my conservatory a beautiful butterfly decided to flap around to brighten my day. I too flapped around trying to get a decent pic of it, but it was too energtic for me and this was the best I could manage"!!

Anyway I was inspired by the dare launched today on DCM:

G'day all, Gillian here, and it's my turn to dare you all this week
Your card can be any theme you like, just as long as it's got something you'd find in a Haberdashery Department on it
Alright then, grab that old sewing basket of yours or raid your sewing machine drawer, have a look at what creative bits are hidding away there....maybe it's buttons, a zip, hook & eye's, ribbons, braids, Dressmaking patterns, tape measures,Pins & Needles, lace, safety pins or embroidery thread....

Haven't managed a DCM dare for aaaages and I thoroughly enjoyed making this as I sat amongst the rubble! Used ribbons, buttons, twill, lace and of course stitching!! Oh yes, and felt!!!
