Playing..

I have started to play again. Oh how I have missed you.

I have also been in discussions with DH about my new sewing room. I can't wait!! 13 sleeps until we get the keys to our new house. 

Scraps

I have to admit that I'm not a great scrap collector. My scraps are usually bagged up and sent off to school or day care for the kids to play. 

For some reason I kept some triangles from some snowball blocks. I then used them to make this wall hanging

It's my entry into Nellie's Country Flair Internet challenge. I have to say it was nice playing with my scraps. Will have go hoard more soon. 

Squaring Up

I've spent my Sunday afternoon squaring up 164 HSTs. Lucky me. Just to say my sore knee and bung foot didn't enjoy standing. :( 

But to say the least I wasn't idle.

Here are some of my recent achievements. Sorry ladies, life has been hectic at home and at work. The best news at this time is we bought a new house. We move next month. I can't wait and I even scored a sewing room. 

Merry Xmas to Me

I was lucky to get an Amazon gift voucher for Christmas from my sister last year. 

I finally spent it. 

Merry Xmas to me!!!

Progress

I've been making progress on the next stitchery block. I think that it is the largest block to date. 

I've also been busy making items to sell at our trading table for my local quilt exhibition. Of course my contribution is some hexagons

Stitching - part 2

I have managed to complete two blocks of my Scandinavian Rose BOM. I'm still contemplating adding the satin stitch to the blocks. I just remain undecided.

Block one

Block two

Still here

My friends are horrified that I haven't been adding to my blog. I don't know where May has gone. For me it went a bit like this...

My little man was diagnosed with Autism. We are now waiting for him to be assessed.

I came down with tonsillitis. Yuck!!! Not a good week for me. (Or two)

My highlight was my first weekend away by myself since my Son was 18 months.

I've been making items for one of my quilting groups as we are having a trading table at our local exhibition in August.

I have been working hard. It's been six months since I returned to work and I'm still adjusting to my different hats and have found I've not had the energy to sew much at all.

But in all of this here are some of my achievements
