Old Glass beads 13/365

There was a brief appearance of the sun today while I was sorting out my jewellery box and these caught my eye....

Something sweet 12/365

I've just discovered the panoramic feature on the omnia. It's very clever... you take the 1st photograph and then slowly pan across left to right, the omnia then takes another 7 photos & joins them altogether. Took me a few goes to get the hang of it but whoo hoo I got it in the end! So here's my first panoramic....

Sweet filled glass globes.. just 20p a time..

Bottles 9/365

It's been a hard week with mum going into hospital.. but I'd still rather have a hot cup of tea :)

Now they've figured out she has collitis they can hopefully work out a treatment...

Stained Glass

Glass from our stairwell.. we live in an old victorian building. I like that the buildings behind affect the colour of the glass :)

Sparkle reflections 7b/365

It was so hard to choose just one picture.. so today there has to be 2! Which do you prefer?

Sparkle 7a/365

My lucky dip theme for the next week is glass.. so I'm on the lookout for anything with glass. So while the sun is out nothing sparkles like crystal... except maybe diamonds but they're not glass :)

Yum 6/365

There's something about eating fresh peas straight from the pod. These are from Sainsbury's as we've eaten all of our home grown!

Bristol blue

Bristol blue glass... I just love the colour it's so deep & rich.

I only have 2 pieces .. if funds allowed I'd have loads!

Embellishment

It's a beautifully sunny day today... may be even sunny enough to wear my hat! So as soon as F wakes from his nap we're going to make the most of the rays... while they're here.

Melody

Ripping back so many rows has made a pretty looking ball..

Today's photograph is dewy clover...

Haggis Update and other decisions...

Well after the heartbreak of having to rip back over 100 hair tendrils earlier this week Haggis is coming along again nicely. I took a break from his hair... just couldn't face re-doing all those rows so soon and moved on to his legs instead. After a bit of playing with decreases I'm happy again... and the pattern for his legs is finished.

I've re-positioned the slip stitch markers on his body closer together and I'm now feeling brave enough to start those rows again... phew!

I made a decision this week on the Omnia/Tocco quandry and the Omnia won & to replace the funds for my new purchase (bought the Omnia on Sat!)...I am going to sell one of my beloved sewing machines... my Bernina 1260QPE.

It may seem a bit drastic but I really don't need 2 Bernina sewing machines & since we moved F into the big room (that was our dining room) we now don't have the space in the flat to store both Bernina's anyway.

So another decision had to be made... which one had to go? My Artista 200 with embroidery unit gives me far more options & capabilities... so unfortunately it had to be my trusty 1260QPE. I'm going to get it serviced and get all the extra accessories together for it so it will be ready to list on Ebay in the next few weeks.

I'll be extremely sad to see it go but it's in a great cause & the Omnia was worth it. I took the photos above with the Omnia and I'm a very happy bunny... here it is below (photo taken with old samsung 830) & I'll let you all know how I'm getting along with it in my next post...

My Omnia now has a picture of F when he was just hours old ahhhhhh as my backdrop :)
