WOW: Gleaming Wednesday

WOW = WIPs On Wednesday

As I can't comfortably sew at the moment,  I've been spending extra time admiring Pinterest. There's lots of interesting information on there, even odd little tips to make you excited about housework, which seems impossible, but happens to be true.

Did you know for instance, that cream of Tartar mixed with water makes everything metal or plated sparkly and brilliant? I didn't. So impossibly easy, I thought I'd give it a try..

So I tested it out on our toaster

and yes, it looks like I'll be making my kitchen sparkle today.With thanks to Kim who's original blog post was pinned to supply us with this great tip.

What's your WIP today?



WOW = October 2012

WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays

It's wednesday again and it's October already.

For me, it feels as though October has come in too fast. I haven't been doing much on the WIP front lately and am desiring some serious sewing time as soon as my rib allows me to sit for long enough. I'm feeling very mindful that there's only 3 months left of the year...and still a lot I'd like to get done.

In my household, it's a busy day today as we prepare and enjoy the start of our 'birthday season', so of course there's lots of roses about.

 

Who needs an excuse to admire roses? Not me..

What's happening in your wednesday ?

WOW = BOM Blocks

WOW = WIPs On Wednesdays

This week I've been catching up on my own BOM blocks.

Hibiscus, Violet & Pansy

I still can't do much quilting for very long at the moment, but I am slowly getting there.

Pop over into my Yahoo BOM Group

to see the great progress being made on this block by talented members!

WOW: Getting Sea Air

WOW = WIPs On Wednesday

Here I am, wind swept!

Today I'm resting at home. Yesterday we spent the day at Venus Bay. It was a long drive but I really needed the sea air. My rib has been really hurting this week and I just needed to get out of the house!

It was windy and there was certainly plenty of sea air to take in...so hopefully it will aid my recovery.

I can't sit comfortably for any length of time so I haven't even been in my sewing room (which still has shelves in need of fixing) and I've missed out on my usual quilting friendship groups too. I can't believe how long it's taking to feel better...:( Definitely looking forward to some WIP browsing.

Add your WOW !
