Solar system revisited

It's the third Friday of the month so that means it is IHSW again - I'm joining in this month as I have a nice relaxing weekend ahead of me with plenty of potential stitching time just interrupted by a 9 mile walk round Ayr in the middle of Sat night.. definitely having a lie-in on Sunday after that.  I'm planning to work on Bent Creek June Zooms - here's my start

 Now the exciting bit of last week for me was receiving my Solar System piece back in the post .. I had commissioned the delightful Mouse to finish it up into a pillow for my ds Joe and she duly obliged and here is the end result and I couldn't be happier - it looks fab
 and here is Joe testing it out

Thanks for stopping by, always appreciate it.

  8. What a great mum you are to spend all that time stitching for a pillow slip!!! It does look fab tho, and I am sure DS mates will be very, VERY jealous.
    Hope you enjoyed IHSW and were able to impress your fellow charity walkers by pointing out and naming the entire solar system :)
