A bit of excitement, and some work

I have been asked to embroider some school jumpers: a friend's boys' school have switched uniform suppliers and the new quality is poor, so could I embroider on some M&S ones for her.  It wasn't a problem except i translated 'jumper' into 'sweatshirt' as that's what the local uniform is, and she really meant jumpers, and they are much harder to design for.  I didn't have any sacrificial jumpers to practice on, so I picked up one in a charity shop.


Thanks to Loronda who is a very accomplished designer and who has helped me quite a few times over the years, I got the design sorted: although it did take several practice stitchouts!

A boring job, but at least in brings in some money!


And the excitement: Postie brought me something:

A clue . . . Someone could have got it free with a car

Another clue . . . It cost me a couple of hundred pounds.

A third clue  . . .  If I break it I can replace it for about £15

Any idea yet?

There are some people who will think this slightly sad, and possibly pathetic (that will be Brian), but I think this is VERY exciting.

My car has a new registration number . . .

ta da!

Apologies for the flash reflection, I had to wait for Brian to come home, and the nights, sadly, are drawing in.
