Keeping Busy

Its 'D Day' today, Mums results of her

fine needle biopsy are being delivered at

3pm

I am very very nervous today

So I have been keeping myself busy sewing

I have finished my 12" mini swap

I have done some work on

(In RANDOM photo order) 

my C.R.A.F.T swap

and my SSCS with Chookyblue

my Mrs Martins Angel Swap

My Lancaster BOM, still working on Month 2,

month 3 is here waiting

and my shopping, well the shopping I could find

from my trip home

This gorgeous book from

'The Needlewoman'

in Hobart

and the Batiks for dh NYB quilt

from

'The PatchWorks' in Hobart

I think I just need to find another stitchery book

and you will have seen my shopping.

I need to buy some wadding desperately, I have used ALL

my scraps, so I will be heading to Merimbula 

tomorrow so I can fix that issue.

and

 for the first time EVER, I have not finished my SKoW quilt

before the cut off, I just need to quilt it, but have had

far to much on my mind to even consider getting it done.

Its on my list of things to finish over the school holidays.

Is it 3:30 yet???

Have you met my Stalker?

No matter where I go in the house, I have a stalker watching
my every move..... as everyone has gone to bed early
tonight I thought I would have a little surf of the www

and look what is behind me

my stalker.......

Henrycat

fast asleep on my unpicker and pin cushion. As soon as I

go to bed he will saunter up the hallway and launch

himself to my side of the bed and eventually lie down

beside me and go to sleep, with his head in my hand....

and I have another OPAM finish ( I am on a roll)

but this one I can't share as its for a Christmas swap :(

but I can give you a sneaky peek

and that's all I can share with you :)

there will be quite a bit of secret sewing going on

in the next few weeks as I get my

Mrs Martin's Christmas Angel Swap gifts

made 

and then there is

Chookyblue's Secret Santa Christmas Swap

gift and ornament to be made, I have my thinking cap

on for that one......

lots of sneaky peeks coming up :)

I made another 5 Irish Chain blocks today,

that means I only have 4 more to make yippee

It's been a bit windy

What a wild 24 hours we have had,

gale force winds,

severe weather warnings,

total fire ban statewide

we fared ok though, although Imogen and I have a 

job to do this afternoon thanks to the wind

we have to de-pine tree branch the front yard

and collect the dogs stainless steel bowl

which was blown from the front to the 

back fence

hubby is organising someone to come and repair the VHF

radio antenna, which has snapped in the wind

and I got some happy mail this morning

a fat quarter bundle of

'La Petite école by French General'

and a fat quarter bundle of 'Hope'

Marcus Brothers, collection for a cause

yesterday I got started on some secret sewing 

look at the mess I made there was fabric and bits

of stuff EVERYWHERE

even the floor had fabric on it

and today my sewing room looks like this

back to normal :)

hubby and I went to Bega earlier, he bought golf

balls and tee's and he added to my Mario

addiction with a new game, I just need to find the 3DS

and I will be good to play :) and I bought some fabric 

which is why we actually went to Bega

2 friends and I are making the same quilt, all using

different fabrics. I am using 

Claremont Farms by Minnick & Simpson

Jenni is using French General or Sweetwater

and I am not sure what Marlene is using.

Not that any of us have started yet :)

We had a very yummy lunch then came home, where he has

gone back to work and I have cleaned up my sewing room and

tidied the house, just need to make our bed and I will be

happy to sit and have a play of Super Mario Bros 2

My twinnies come home from camp today

it has been sooooooo very quiet, and I think

Imogen has enjoyed being 'an only child'

my workload has decreased significantly but will

be full again tomorrow with all their washing and

tonight will be crazy as they fight over who tells

us what happened while they were away.
