Should be cleaning but stitching instead...... oooowaaa

My plan for today was to clean the lounge room windows/blinds and curtains but Gavan has the man flu so rather than disturb him and his tele watching I decided to sew...... oh what a sacrifice I made, I'm so good I think hehehehehe.


Firstly a photo of the last block for the Christmas Fun BOM  by Lynette Anderson.


I started piecing the little wall hanging together yesterday and after a lot of fiddling today got it done so only the quilting and binding left...... so happy about that.

Can you see where I fixed my terrible mistake..... I hope it looks ok and if you can't see it then that's good enough for me.


I've also finished another My Favourite Things block but there is still heaps to go.


Didn't really enjoy this block with all the little flowers on the tree so glad its out of the way.


This afternoon I have prepared this dolls head for painting, Saturday is Dollie day


Wow it doesn't seem much really but it took me all day to do it.

Hopefully Gavan will have a miraculous recovery and go model plane flying on Sunday so then I can do the jobs I had planned for today.

What we girls give up for our men??? we should all get medals... the christmas quilt is fantastic... I can't see a mistake... we need another lunch so I can see it in real life.... I struggled with those little tree flowers... the rest are easy after that!!!

All looks lovely Helen. Great to be stitching rather than cleaning. The dust layer in my house is getting thicker by the day. Hugs...
