IHSW

As many of you know, it was IHSW this weekend.  So, as the deadline for my first Joan Elliott RR piece is fast approaching I decided that I had better work on my Geisha for Julie.

This is the floss toss:

This is Julie's fabulous Buddha!

This is some early progress on my section.

and below is what I achieved over the weekend (I did have a little more than just the black hair done when I started on Friday night)

What do you think of her?   (Sorry, Karen, I tried to take mystery-like photos so as not to give too much away but the beautiful geisha just wanted to be seen!)

I also did some baking - a Blueberry Streusel Cake:

Yum!

P.S. I had a very bad day with my Dear Mum yesterday, lots of issues over whether she should be admitted to hospital and she and my Dad both got very confused and it was all very heartbreaking as it is unclear as to what is the best path forward for her.  I am feeling very sad and I fear what the near future is going to bring.
