Tuesday is for tidying up

I now have a full dustbin.  How is it that when you tidy up, you get rid of half a dozen black sacks of rubbish, it looks good for a couple of days, then you have another tidy session and find another half a dozen sacks worth of rubbish.  I reckon it all doubles when you take your eyes off it all.

I have given my wrists a break from crafting today, but I have at least three projects to start or continue with tomorrow.  I want to play with another of Tina's embroidery plates, now I have got the hang of them.  It always helps if you read instructions before starting, but it is very easy to put things right.

My first attempt just needs mounting on the right colours.  I really enjoyed doing it and managed to avoid drawing blood.  I was surprised at how easily I managed to thread the needle, but then the thread did not split when cut as many others do. 

I did hear that some people were slightly confused by the dots on these plates, expecting them to be embossed in the same way as on other plates.  It is different this time as they are just an indication of where to perforate.  As Tina said, if they were the normal white dot,we would be left with an ugly halo after perforating the holes.  

Before I do any more crafting, I need to tidy my table again.  I bet I could nearly fill another black sack with the rubbish on and under it.   Where does it all come from?
