In the midst of another heatwave, its been a bit difficult to get much done the last few days; we were over 40 degrees yesterday, and our overnight minimum was 31!
So between sprawling on the couch and sitting in front of a desk fan, I've managed to get only a bit of sewing done; I've been working on the gorgeous Red Velvet.
The main blocks are done, as are the X blocks. All I need to do is the border blocks, then it'll be ready to assemble!
A couple of weeks ago (yup, things are a bit behind...), I had a bit of a scribble and fiddle, and managed to sew up a handbag hanger. The pic isn't great, but the idea it to hand it up, and there are tabs so that you can hang your gorgeous handbags/evening bags up in an orderly fashion (rather than piling them all onto two coat hooks on the back of your door like I do!)
Some garden progress; I harvested my first onion! The rest are also ready, but due to the heat I've been eating salads; nothing I need onions for so I've left them in the ground for now.
In other news, making progress with the shop idea; got tax advice and started to get prices, and looks like this could work...I'm very excited!!

I can't wait to see Red Velvet sewn together ... the blocks look lovely. Good luck with the shop venture .. something I've considered but not been brave enough!
