Divorced,beheaded,died,divorced,beheaded....!! And crafts ;-)

This is a crafting post..almost... but I must just say that I get a huge amount of fun from reading one or two sports writers! My favourite is Oliver Holt but today,however,I think he has been beaten fair and square by Simon Barnes of The Times...who writes:

''.... if a World Cup-winning coach isn't good enough for you, where the hell are you going to go for the next one? Chelsea have reached the limit of human possibility in their quest for the right man. The logical next step is to hire an archangel. But a few months down the line and it'll be,

"Out you go, Gabriel. What do you know about routing the forces of the ungodly? You've lost the dressing-room, you've mislaid the owner, your press conferences are crap and, besides, we're not the most successful club in the world and that proves you're rubbish."

***

You have to laugh, don't you (unless you are a Chelski fan!)?

***

And then this:

''When a man presents you to his fifth wife, you don't wonder what was wrong with the previous four; you wonder what's wrong with the bloke. And when a football club get rid of four top managers in half a dozen seasons - well, you don't wonder what's wrong with the managers, do you? ''

Oooh brilliant writing !

Yeah, it might be gutting for Scolari's pride but before anyone feels sorry for him remember that nice fat cheque he will walk away with !! ;-)

And there, is all that I hate about football!

And now, on to crafting!

Funnily enough, blue is the colour today...!! ;-)

I found another lovely tea towel at the weekend ;-)

I felt quite bad making that first cut!

Note... blues and purples this time!

Makes a change from the usual reds and pinks which seem to dominate my blog...

I'm not too sure what to put in them yet..Lavender? Soaps? Pot Pourri?

I'll think on!

A long, long time ago ( I can still remember! ) I bought some different coloured cotton fabric...and never used it.

I think because it was such a good selection of colours,I was reluctant to do anything with it and just stashed it away.

The other day I discovered it.

It's fatal when I discover things as my mind goes into overdrive .

Anyway, I hit upon this idea that I would make....'Patchwork in a bag'.

This was prompted by 'crazy patchwork'.

Everyone is doing it!

I was meant to be doing it too..at last Tuesday's craft morning but that was cancelled due to the weather and so I did these instead...

You get 12 lovely 5'' patchwork squares ; thread; pins; a needle etc..all in a bag.

And there you have it..patchwork in a bag;-)

So if you want a 'taster' but don't want to buy loads of fabric, they are in my shop..at a snip ;-)

And now I am off to do my crazy patchwork at today's craft morning ..oh and also scan the job pages..oh look here is one...

'Mug wanted, must speak fluent Russian...and a knowledge of Czech,Serbian,Portuguese,Italian,German, French etc etc etc, is useful! ;-)English not essential as little is spoken during the day.

Probably only short term...so don't think of buying a house, just rent one.'

Location very handy for Cath Kidston..so will keep your OH happy'

Apply asap.
