Every now and then I have a bit of an AliceandCamilla moment, and last night was one such time. I took myself off to bed, intending to stitch a little loveliness by lamplight in the calm of the evening, ah the romance of it all, or not, as the case may be... The first time I got out of bed was to get a piece of fabric having decided why settle for a bird on a nest when a heart would be something a bit different, my second reccie was for the button tin because of course I needed a choice of more than the couple I'd taken with me, and the third was to gather some thread as the colours I'd chosen for the bird were no longer right for the heart. By the time I got back into bed the fourth time, I realised I'd lost the needle having absentmindedly looped it through the duvet on my previous trip out...
and the moral of the story? well two actually, if you want to try living the dream then at least put your slippers on (got very cold feet) or alternatively (prefer this one) just be who you are and be happy! Enjoy your Thursday!

OMG!!! Did you find the needle????
LOL I've done that before too! x
Oh, I know, but how lovely does stitching in bed sound.!.You just needed one of those bells they had in old victorian houses that you pulled to summon the maid, then she could have fetched for you while you stayed snuggled up.
In my head - I am having those story book moments - but in reality they are all moments like yours!!! Makes me smile!
love the stitched piece!

I have to laugh! I have had so many of these episodes in which I lost the needle or thought I lost the needle and then I am going crazy trying to find it!
It is a dangerous thing....
Oh Margaret! What a funny post! :-)))
I hope you've found your needle.
And I love your stitched heart :-)
Doesn't sound very relaxing! I hope the needle turns up somewhere safe. Beautiful heart.

Good morning Margaret,
I laughed so much when I read your post this morning. I now understand the Alice and Camilla moment. Your post was so charming and heart felt..

I've lost needles on the couch and in chairs but never in bed LOL
fun post and your "just be who you are and be happy" is perfect advice
oxo!
thanks for sharing your little alice and camilla moment. i enjoyed reading about your attempt at a calm evening. you did accomplish a beautifl little piece.
VERY wise words, but your piece is darling!! Guess getting up and down paid off well. Great story. Riki
I love the heart you made, the mishaps you discussed, and the back story to your blog's name. Never knew it before, so now it's even more special.
Glad I don't hand sew. If I did, I'd probably do something even worse than catching the duvet cover.
oh those lost needles are scary!! I have those moments too!!
Love this - hope you get to have some warmer/safer stitching time this weekend :-)
LOL... you're not alone. That's usually the way it works for me, regardless of the train case at my side full of "all" my stitching needs.
Serious Crafy-Envy going on from this corner.
Oh how funny - well not for you !
Margaret can you email me your address so I can send you a copy of La Mode !

At least you didn't spill your glass of wine! Or didn't you feel like getting up AGAIN an getting a glass?
Hope you haven't since found the lost needle by lying on it.
I have lots of those near miss moments (NMM's) but life still manages to be grand (LSMTBG)
OK I'll stop that now it's wearing thin, unlike your slippers ;-)
