Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Sewing Been

Last night’s climax to the BBC’s Great British Sewing Bee saw a tight finish, and for me the bizarre creations produced in response to the final challenge of an ‘avant garde’ dress – Neil’s innovative but bonkers ‘skanklet’ combining a mini-skirt with suspended anklets, Lorna’s blancmange-like gown, and Matt’s space age silver skittle dress – summed up the competition, with the winner being the best (just) of an indifferent bunch, however the charm of the show continues to be in giving such ordinary folk the chance to show their skill, enthusiasm and personality; meanwhile the other sewing extravaganza, glitter encrusted bat costumes for the school dance team, was also completed and delivered with only a scattering of glitter stubbornly remaining around the house, and on the cats, to remind us.
