Lovely couple of days and Klimt Bodice 7

Firstly the link in the previous message is fixed - sorry!

I have had a lovely couple of days - Monday afternoon my daughter phoned for a chat, which was lovely but a couple of hours later there was a ring of the door bell and there she was!!!! A surprise visit!! It did mean we had to go and do some grocery shoping - wish I had done that before posting the pic of my fridge :-).
We have had a an enjoyable couple of days sorting out the mess that she called a bedroom. Three bin bags of stuff for the charity shop, two bin bags of rubbish, one bin bag of stuff for me to sell on Ebay for her (when there are some free listing days) and a large box of 'stuff for mum to use' Hooray - bits for my stash - odd earrings, bits of lace from unwearable tops etc etc. In all seriousness it has been great having her home.

She left earlier this afternoon after a great roast dinner and I have just cut out the lining for my Klimt bodice. I hope my pattern drafting works out ok!! (?) I dyed a piece of cotton with procion dye, ironed it late last night and cut out today. Only just now realised that some of the dye left some red and blue dots in one place!! - why did I not notice it when I did the ironing?? Anyway I am going to have to ignore it - its on the lining and proves that I dyed the fabric myself!! Now I am off to cut out the main fabric!
