RELAXING BREAK

Our friend Kieren was in town for his r'n'r and, being stationed in the middle of the desert he wanted to see sea, so we got a great deal on Lamu House in Lamu so went for a few days and had a great time - eating loads of great seafood, swimming in the sea, sailing on the dhow, etc etc. Tough life! Here's a few pics....

Our feast on the last night - lobster and jumbo prawns...sigh!

Okay before you hate me too much I did spend the second day in bed with a horrendous migraine which made me continually throw up, so bad in fact that we had to call the doc as my tablets did not work and although he did not have pethidine he did have tramadol which at least took away the pounding although the migraine did not go until about 2am the following morning!!!!

Okay since we got back been busy but have managed to find some time to make a few things. Still trying out designs and made one which is so bad will not show you it but the other two are okay - the cloth one I really like.

Back of knitted cover - desing extends down to one side of opening and have added fringing on the other side

Front of cushion - love the design on this one

Love this - cushion is made of natural hessian and white material is calico. Also made rosettes from calico and stuck on with glue gun

Back of the hessian calico cushion - more calico rosettes

Not sure if the knitted ones are working - should I make the whole front in knitting rather than just a panel? What do you think?

Anyway thats what I have been doing. Made some different flowers from hessian today so will put them on blog soon and also trying placemats but need to see if they can be washed first!!!
