Yep. I`m making cushion covers....never made an envelope cover...You Tube is great for tutorials.....these covers are a bit different....got a black square with a printed flower and leaves.......I am backstitiching red and greys....then put it onto a black and white spotted front and the back is grey.
The second is from a different patterned fabric but same black and white cover, with backstitched flower black square on the front.
Yes, I will post them when done....gonna fill some days. Pollsx

Amazing @pollyanna1052! The kids and I painted some pine cones which we found earlier this week whilst on our daily walk. First though we washed them carefully and baked them in the oven for about a hour a few days ago. Today we finally painted them. I found some old paints in a cupboard and we sat there in the living room painting them it was quite therapeutic. I will finish them tomorrow and photograph my work.

Nothing is planned for this weekend. I’m going to do some painting on the walls of the spare bedroom. I used a color sample chart to help me make a decision on colors. I have already picked out some colours that I like and ordered all the paints early on Monday morning from a local hardware store via their site. The set of paints will come on Friday. Other than that I do not think I will do much. What are your weekend plans? I still have some marking to do. And at some point I need to order more curtains.

Blue for the spare room. The paints came today. I also ordered gold in case I wish to repaint my bedroom too. I might experiment with some to see what looks good and what does not. I love blue a lot. As a child I used to own a blue sweater. And a blue bedside lamp. I ordered new curtains today.

I love blue as well. Although as a kid, I once moved into a house that had a different shade of blue in every room. I can't say I like it enough to do that!
I have four or five back to back sitting jobs later on this week. One is for a small child and the one is for a girl of eight. The third job is for a six year old girl and the last two are for very small children again. How do you entertain a baby? Any tips on activities will be appreciated greatly thanks in advance.

Hey @pollyanna1052 have you finished your cushion covers?
I cant believe we are approaching another weekend and it is a bank holiday weekend. It looks like it will be another nice one
Still making cushions but run out of materials....should have had a delivery today, but no. Made lots of
