Running, Sewing and Plans

 The first part of this blog is a bit late.  Last Sunday I ran my second 10K as part of the festival of running.  The race went much better than the last one, although the time (56 min 52 sec) was still a bit slower than I would like.  I feel like I am making no progress with improving the time and am thinking of training for a half marathon distance.  With is in mind I have just returned from running club where I opted for hill repeats and I plan a 4 mile run with my friend tomorrow lunchtime and a 7 mile run on Sunday.
And I have been finding some time to sew.  I made a vest top last week and plan a cardi to match, ready for Mother's Day next week.  I also have this gorgeous fabric and I plan to make a blouse from it tomorrow evening.  There's loads of it so I might well make a dress later in the year as well.

On top of all this, I am planning to redecorate my bedroom.  My bedroom is south facing and very light and I have a vision of a very pale room with toile, gingham and ticking bedding, curtains, blind and other soft furnishings in blue.  I am busy finding the fabrics and working out what should go where for best effect.  Unfortunately the actual decorating can't take place until after Easter, but I need to have all the fabrics ready.
