Here it is, the final piece in the jigsaw puzzle which is my throw or my ''toe wrap'' as some of you have begun to call it. This is an edge from a very old table runner that was all but shredded with holes and rips. The lace edge will most likely be placed inwards on the throw as it will hopefully form another petticoat like section by being on the inside so to speak.
I have a busy weekend ahead of me so may have to take a day or two off. It's not definite, I will see how much progress I make with things. The unmentionable project is calling, I am determined to finish it as I don't like keeping you hanging. ( or maybe you couldn't care less) Ideally I would like to work on that for two full days and then of course I have a wedding cloth to make along with putting my throw together, backing it and making knots and puffs for the edge and the surface. I would also like to make headway with my FAQ page...phew, I've got a lot to do....what a shame I can't do any housework!! and thankyou so much to everyone who sympathised re my hand injuries and for all the suggested remedies, much appreciated. Time to put the kettle on....
p.s. 6 p.m. I was looking through my stats and discovered that a few people were coming form a site called ''topics best' after having apparently voted for me. Voting for what I don't know, next Prime Minister?? Ayway I've got a button, top left, so please vote for me too and I will keep my fingers crossed that it's not a vote for worst blog, best person to deport, most annoying English woman etc....

Lovely lovely lovely ,and erm what is housework ?..love Jan xx
It looks fantastic, I have just seen your photos and your getting very good at that also, think you should get these published,
You always 'crack me up' you are so silly and your work is always so lovely. What a paradox you are!
So looking forward to the total unveil of your toe warmer. I voted - t'will be interesting to see how much you enjoy being Prime Minister!
Housework should be done by men and children so that we creative sorts can get on with the important task of creating ... not that I have either (and don't plan to thank you very much). Your white piece is delightful with all the lace in it. I am wondering about this unmentionable project...or shouldn't I mention that? ;-)
Have been following progress of the toe warmer with much interest. As a dressmaker turned to embroidery myself, I can certainly appreciate all your fabric manipulations in this piece. As for housework, I've never been a huge fan, LOL.
Hooroo,
