We are going to the Creswick Farmers market today.
Hope it doesn't rain this afternoon as I want to plant some shrubby plants.

Update.I should have posted this on Wednesday when I completed the hand stitching.
Remember the start of the Squab Cushion?
After many many hours of hand stitching ( at times it was hard) it now looks like this.And to think it will be all covered by a top fabric to sit in this cane chair :o The idea is to protect the cane seat ( And yes I did cane the chair )

What an amazing job, CC.  You are so very patient and must be so happy and proud of the result after all the hard work you have put in.  Have you selected the covering fabric yet?

Wow CC you have done a wonderful job.  What a shame you have to cover it. :D :D
The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

You can see the amount of work that you have done on that chair. It looks very neat and professional. I can't wait to see the finished chair.

Suzanne, it must be wonderful being back home after all that time in rented accommodation.  Enjoy your newly renovated home and being back in your own kitchen.
