THE START OF YET ANOTHER QUILT

9 triangles down 171 to go!!!!

I'm just trying to show you that I have been working, and that I finally had the guts to cut into all of my Denyse Schmidt fabrics.
I have been doing other sewing but I can't show you, one quilt is a present and I am taking on a couple of commission quilts as well.

So I am here, just busy.
Have a great weekend everyone.

HI THERE

I hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.
Let me tell you about my week, my sister, Taresa came to stay with us for 2 nights, she came down to celebrate her son Kyle's 13th birthday and they both stayed here. I just wish it was for longer that's all.

I started putting together my December Daily 2009 album. I have the fabric cover on and the pages made. I am going a little more uniform this year with all of the pages the same size and tabbed. Here's a peek......

I would have more done but I've been busy nursing injuries. Lachie did his ankle in again, poor kid, he can't stand sitting still.
and Dan played paintball all day for Kyle's birthday. He has bruises everywhere and has to play cricket all day tomorrow for the Kerr Shield that he got in to.


So my weekend will be gone before I know it and tomorrow I will be spending all day in the sunshine watching my boy get a little closer to his sporting goals, speaking of which, he bowled 2 for 0 and caught one this morning before paintball. Well done Dan, I'm so proud of you.

DECEMBER DAILY TAGS

I've started my December Daily Album for this year by making the tags to go on each day's page. I'm going vintage this time round.

I haven't put together the album yet, I'm not sure on the size or if there will be different size pages like last year's. I will work on that during the week if I have time. My sister is visiting for a couple of days from NSW, I'm so excited I haven't seen her for 2 years and really miss her.

No.2 IS DONE

I added lots of extra stitching on the nest.
7 to go.

MAKING BREAD

What a fantastic way to make bread. I would recommend this book to everyone.

This loaf didn't last very long, at least I have enough dough to make another 5 in the fridge.

I'm off to my caravan for some scrapping time.

YOU MIGHT THINK....

that I've fallen off the face of the earth, but no, it's just that for the last 3 weeks I've struggled with an amazing amount of pain from an extraction gone wrong and now I'm working pretty much full time this week, so I am around just not here.

I was reminded however that it is that time again to start getting organised for my 2009 December Daily. For those of you who don't know what it is you could visit my archives for December's posts last year, just scroll down for the list on the right hand side or here for Ali Edwards' blog.

Time to get to it and gather my supplies, I'll be using a mixture of old and new this year as last year I used up supplies I had on hand and I don't have a lot left. I will be incorporating fabric this year and going vintage. I'm getting excited now but have to go back to work tonight so maybe I'll get to start tomorrow night.

1 OUT OF 9

I have finally finished the 1st art quilt in a set of 9. These 12"x12" quilts are stapled to a canvas for hanging.
This one looks a little lonely on my lounge room wall, so on to the next 8 I go.


The patterns and fabrics are by McKenna Ryan, her Faith, Hope, Love series.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEIDI

I can't believe you are 1 today.
Hugs & squishes xxxxx

QUILT IN THE WORKS

Have a safe and happy weekend

DON'T FALL OVER....

I scrapbooked!!!!!
As I have mentioned lately I am having a finishing off month. Here is an album I started making last year of the kids in the Grampians. I have shown some of the pages before but now it is finally complete.








and...
While I was in a finishing off mood and already had torn papers out, I thought I might finally finish of a circle journal I've had sitting here for quite some time. Sorry for the lateness Patti :) The theme is 'my top 5'


Now back to some sewing.

BTW my private P!NK concert was too awesome for words, just like being there again.
