Nessie spends a lot of time snoozing or looking out of the window when she is not out on squirrel patrol. I think she thinks that is what I do too when I am not at home. She is very much mistaken! I had a busy week preparing for my class on “Quilting with your Bernina”. The participants learned lots but on reflection, there was too much for just one day’s class. Feedback from one student reported that they were not in the least bit interested in the history of quilting which I mentioned in passing so that has been duly noted for future reference;)
My sister and nephews are coming for a visit so I will be taking a couple of days off. This meant that I had to make sure everything was prepared in advance for the next batch of classes. The other job which has been getting ignored is completing the filming area so we can make short instructional videos. The idea is that the background looks like a sewing room. We found a folding screen to hide some cables and the door so I ran up some ruched panels with Bernina branded fabric. The media team has to share the space with the technician and we will have to agree on a schedule for access.
Mel and her husband, Iain came for a rake around Tavi with me on Saturday. I had hoped that he would help me to attach my IKEA cupboard to the wall. Left to my own devices I would probably have used nails and no-nails glue but as an engineer he requested that I should get a gadget to find the wooden studs behind the plasterboard so it is fixed correctly and not tilting at a bit of a slope like my so-called “floating” shelf. I blame that on the gas-man who must have leaned on it.
I wonder how my wee house will cope with 3 extra people? The spare bedroom is not big enough for 3 so someone will have to bunk down in the sitting room. It is so annoying that the new sofa is not big enough to sleep on. That was the whole point of bringing the bigger red leather one from Scotland - sadly it is now languishing in the shed!
