The tail of the broken cat


I've gotten around to cutting out my new ensis tee pattern and hopefully the sewing meetup on Sunday will knock it out of the park. 

As usual when you put fabric on the floor it attracts "helpers". This little beast has been in the wars since then. We came home from a restaurant on Sunday to find he had a broken tail. Poor thing. Though strangely wasn't bothered by it; rolling over on his back looking for belly rubs. 

We got him into the vet first thing on Monday and he's had a partial tail amputation. Still hiding under the bed as the neck collar which stops him from taking out his stitches is really freaking him out. He keeps walking into things.  I may just have to put some nice fabric on the ground for him to sit on to feel better (yes, its the same fabric sorting cat).

Siding stories

We've had a tonne of house projects this year and currently the house's siding is being fixed.  If the weatherboard is cracked or rotten, we're replacing it.  If a lot is coming off we're putting insulation in behind it.  Lots of hammering and sawing and lots of scary pictures! We had a fun afternoon tracking down the colour of the house paint.  As it turns out, its Wattyl's Flemish Blue (Deep Base, Solagard, B 144.0, E 280.0, V84.0, KX 144.0).  I love this colour and need to think about sheen's for when we get the house repainted next year.  For now we just went with the closest to the tin we already had.  One side of the house is done and we've painted a first coat of the blue. We've also had scaffolding up for a while.  Its been hard to get in and out of the house with it though - this is our entrance walkway. This is the other side of the house after a day's work removing the weatherboards.  There's a lot more work required

The great WSBN sewing room tour

Image
Gemma from Sixty Six Stitches started off a rather revealing tour of the Wellington Sewing Bloggers Network sewing rooms. I was far too intrigued not to join in.  Of course, I wanted to snoop around the creative spaces of some very creative people and felt that I had to participate rather snoop unrequited! ;) Previous in the series is:  Zara from Off Grid Chic  (Loving the idea of the screen and rather jealous of the mannequins) So here we are - a view into my study, sewing and craft room (and erstwhile cloak room during parties).  Be warned this is not a pinterest worthy room - I'm treating this like my before pictures as I plan on removing and renovating sometime over the next few years! And here it is in all its higgledy piggledy glory.   Hanging on the door are my current works in progress.  Each with a neat label reminding me what I need to sew next or what's left to finish off. To the right is my spare table.  Grea
