Today

I'm spending the day with this little guy.

He is off to hospital today to have 12 teeth removed under G.A.

Yes, I did say 12.  They are his remaining baby teeth.

Wish me luck - should prove to be an interesting experience.

A find

As we continue to clean and pack and sort

we found this quilt I made about 10 years ago.

I never liked it.

I'm not sure if it was the gold stars on the green or the plainness of the cream.

It doesn't matter because it has been put into the donations pile,

where I am sure it will find a home and be loved.

Funny how our tastes change.

Something's wrong!

Over the weekend, a little person asked me to sit and

watch a movie with him.

We settled down and got comfy and began to watch.

Part way through a little voice called out,

"Something's wrong with this quilt!"

His feet were poking out as it was too short.

When he worked it out, he promptly told me to

not make small quilts that don't cover his feet.

Nothing worse than a wrong quilt.

Badge

At school on Friday we (the teachers) were presented with badges

at assembly by the students.

We were also given a special morning tea.

It was a lovely way to finish the week.

It's here!

I have been watching these pop up everywhere lately.

The wait has been driving me insane!

Finally my wait is over!

This book is amazing!

Not is only jam-packed with block designs,

there are some projects thrown in as well.

It is functional and informative.

The instructions are clear and there are templates included.

This one is my favorite at the moment.

Now excuse me, I'm off to enlarge some templates...

This is serious

I have now bought 2 books and the papers.

I have dabbled a little before with FPP

using normal photo copy paper 

and it was awful to remove.

Apparently this paper (I haven't opened the packets yet)

is what the real FPP's use.

Yep, I'm running with the big kids.

Ok I'm still crawling and probably won't ever be a runner,

but I'm going to give it a red hot crack.

If you've used this paper before,

let me know what you think of it.

Nearly

The stitching is all done on this little lovely.

Just need to do the sewing part now,

unless anyone out there wants to finish it for me...

please?

Almost a finish

Yep this little beauty is all put together.

I think I will add a white boarder the same width as

the rows just to finish it off a little

and use a white binding.

I really want the hexies to be the focal point.

I love it.

Even the 3 baby bears like it - 2 have asked if

they can have it.

Not a chance.

It is amazing what you can achieve

when you ignore school work...

I did start my reports though, so that is something, right?

Poor poor me...

If you have been following my blog for any amount of time you would know that I

almost never put my own photo on here.

today is an exception

LOOK

I am at the end of my tether.

My eyes are driving me insane.

They are itchy, swollen and red.

I can't use my normal moisturiser at the moment as it stings.

The only thing I can use is pawpaw ointment but it doesn't do anything.

The sneezing, running nose, and other symptoms I can cope with,

but I want to rip my eyes out of my head.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what will help?

I'm taking 2 different types of hay-fever tablets but as

you can see, they really aren't helping.

I would appreciate any advice.

FNSI

I was feeling a little "Happy -go-lucky" last night.

I started a new project, I couldn't help myself.

I have been wanting to make one of these for a long time.

This is the chain piecing after a small amount of cutting.

Thank you for pre-cut honeycomb hexagons Moda.

Setting seams, pressing seams open and starching.

Seemed to take F.O.R.E.V.E.R.

 I got to joining some of the pieces together...

but not many and you can see how it was left at my machine.

Truth - it will probably stay like that now as I'm not sure how much sewing 

time I will squeeze in now as I'm packing up a house

and preparing to write reports...

I did have a finish though and I absolutely love it!

This is one swoon block to go on the wall of my new sewing room.

I used some V & Co green and solids from Spotlight.

You can't really see it but I FMQ Baptist fans all over.
