Here I Go Again...

Not much happening in my little part of the world. Distracted by my engagement, crafting has fallen to the wayside! Gosh, I suck at this. The closest I came this week to crafting has been chopping a big hanky into 4 smaller ones. Wow, do I get a medal for that?

I've sworn to myself that once the obvious jobs get done (washing/washing up/vacuuming/tidying) I will be on that machine like a hurricane!

Photos will come when I have something to photograph :)

My oh my!

All of my baby plants are growing so well! It must be the odd weather we are having, because everything is either flowering or bursting with fruit! The tomatoes are looking good; the pumpkin has flowers; the cucumbers have flowers; the eggplant is huge!

bones...

Dear all,

I have been kidnapped by Bones; I haven't done anything without watching it in the background. But rest assured, I have been sewing as well! Well more like washing, ironing, cutting and tracing, but soon there will be sewing!

Photos to come :)

Joy in the New Year?

There's a post over here at Tallgrass Prairie Studio, discussing a UFO finishing project! Just what I need! I have 2 UFOs, pieced and ready to go.

I have plenty of pieces being pieced (sounds funny), so I may include those depending on how I go with ideas.

a) Ohio star block table runner for my Sister-thing
b) yellow top; needs to be machine quilted. This would be also really good practice for my quilting skills!

Spending the day with my washing machine...

Today's a ritual cleaning day in our house. Sundays are filled with washing powder, plastic gloves, pegs and newspapers. I love the feeling of stumbling out of bed, letting the Boy sleep for an extra half hour and just spending a few minutes by myself. I get to check on my plants and my birds, and I get to just revel in the joy of a Sunday morning.

This afternoon will be spent tidying, vaccuming, cooking, taste-testing, watering and perhaps some study for the four exams I have this week. But for now? I'm listening to the Buble (Michael Buble) and enjoying the lovely spring breeze floating through the veranda doors.
