Its Clean Up time

my Christmas creating over the last few weeks has

left my sewing room looking more like a

bomb site than a place to sit and sew 

and enjoy the space.

See what I am faced with

pins, cotton and who else knows what under my sewing cabinet

my cutting table, which I can use ONLY if nothing needs to be cut

larger than a 4" square

even the floor below my design wall

and my computer desk, I can't get to the ironing

basket so that is piling up on the chair too

the empty lindt chocolate tins need to be binned, they were

for the girlies Christmas gifts for their teachers.

its not even organised chaos...sigh

The final 4 blocks of mums quilt... 1 done 3 to do in the New Year

because

month 5 of Lancaster has arrived, so I will be working on this

until all the appliqué borders are complete

4 more big sleeps until my mummy and daddy arrive 

(hence the big clean up lol)

and this morning I had the awful job of

telling dh that his uncle had passed away in the early hours

of the morning. 

I have kept him home from work (compassionate leave)

and sent him to golf.

We won't be attending the funeral but have flowers on the

way, there really isn't much else we can do from here.

RIP Uncle Lloyd.

The world lost a true gentleman this morning.
