time for tea and cake: January 2012
http://teandcake.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Time for tea and cake. Come on in and have a cuppa and some cake . Wednesday, 4 January 2012. A New Year Catch Up blah. Well, as everyone else is doing a new year catch up, I thought I should have a go, too. Starting at the end, Mr T and I have been right poorly! I started in on Boxing Day with a vicious bout of the novo virus, to the point that the family felt they couldn't go off and visit brother and sister-in-law, and leave me alone. Dah! I need to be and feel more healthy; lose the weight, ensure pr...

time for tea and cake: Big job
http://teandcake.blogspot.com/2013/12/big-job.html
Time for tea and cake. Come on in and have a cuppa and some cake . Monday, 23 December 2013. 2014 is going to be my year. It is going to be a big job. I am currently seven, actually eight stones overweight. I need to lose at least seven of that, to be in a healthy weight range. I have already joined Slimming World, in order to lose the weight. Yes, it was a silly time of year to do it - just two weeks before Christmas, but it needed to be done and I started to feel more positive as soon as I signed up.

Time for tea and cake. Come on in and have a cuppa and some cake . Tuesday, 23 December 2014. And again, it's nearly here! I am just sitting here with a cuppa, having returned from the last present shopping, phew! I last interviewed for a job I got, back in the year 2000 so am deffo out of practice of selling myself. So, I have now started to remember the questions I was asked and practice in the car, what I should say! I have had three quilts on the go, and actually completed one of them;. Links to this...

Red Wrenny Rambles...: March 2012
http://redwrenny.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
March 30, 2012. I never thought I'd say this, but. Gingham, love of my life - you suck! You give me headaches matching your checks. You pull threads unbearably when I sew anywhere off the straight grain, even. With a ball-point needle. You pucker around my lovely red snaps. And worst of all, you are not particularly flattering on a grown-up lady. Unless she was going for the picnic table-cloth look. Which she wasn't. Excuse nasty images to follow. Apples considerably less fuzzy in real life. So to prove ...

Red Wrenny Rambles...: September 2011
http://redwrenny.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
September 24, 2011. Okay - the second pattern I've been using. Is much more of a hit! I've made the pants, adapted to be 3/4 and a closer fit in the legs, a strapless top from some satin jacquard that was kicking about, and this halter neck dress! The jacket has also been cut out and is waiting for a turn. However, sewing it at night was a headache. a bit like watching repetitive white lines on the road roll by constantly! Eight sleeps left now till we take off! And many, many hints of a surprise in Vegas.

Red Wrenny Rambles...: The count down begins...
http://redwrenny.blogspot.com/2011/09/count-down-begins.html
September 18, 2011. The count down begins. Only 13 sleeps til we take off for the US! We have finished booking transfers and pre-purchased tickets to stuff (Alcatraz, Universal Studios, Disneyland, etc) on the interwebs, and collected our tickets, so it finally feels real! Ok - I admit it - I'm starting to get excited at last! I'm less excited, however, about the clothing I've been making to take. Like my glowing shoes? I was so careful to measure the pattern and myself and it clearly. Wasn't going to fi...

Red Wrenny Rambles...: August 2011
http://redwrenny.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
August 29, 2011. My youngest brother and his wife are having their first precious child, so having waited patiently for 14 weeks, I now have permission to start making stuff! Thought I'd launch into some generic baby embroidery to start off. Thanks Jenny Hart. Actually, the 40s weren't so bad. I've long been a fan of fifties fashions, mainly because I love the shapes and design features, but I have to say, I'm becoming much fonder of some forties patterns lately. However - after playing around with the f...

Red Wrenny Rambles...: January 2011
http://redwrenny.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
January 21, 2011. Who knew that hessian was a useful material? As an art teacher, I have only ever seen value in covering dirty old pinboards with it. Never to actually sew with. All those hairy fibres dropping off everywhere, and the SMELL. But I needed some neutral coloured, textured fabric to make some small fabric baskets for the bathroom and it was perfect! Also wanted to show off this top I made before Christmas. I ripped off the pattern of a Portmans top I have, but changed the neckline. The entir...
