CUSHION COVER

MY SECOND ATTEMPT AT SEWING ON A SEWING MACHINE.

 

I've been sick for the last few days so I haven't been able to post anything. But I'm feeling better, so I thought I'd post some pictures of a patchwork cushion cover I made two weeks ago with my new sewing machine. I cut a three and a half inch square from an ice cream container lid, and used it as a template. I just did straight sewing, and didn't bother to zigzag the edges. As you can from the picture the back is just a no zip cushion cover. I might tackle a zip next time.

 
This Project took me two days to complete.

BREAD FROM THE HEAVENS

My house is an Anatidaephobiac's worst nightmare.

 
 
This photo isn't in perfect focus, as it's hard to take pictures and throw bread at the same time. The blurry things in the top left of the picture, is bread from the heavens! Normally the ducks come and peck on the loungeroom window and I give them some bread and seed, but a dog ended up scaring them down stairs. So I thought I would take the opportunity to take this photo, and now all of a sudden, I have a picture with ducks and bread, and a new bread cult (I have two members so far)!
