A new plan.....

Hmmmmmm I do love a plan.....

So if I can crochet 2 blocks and 2 Suffolk puffs  a day, I should have this quilt finished in approximately 1 month......

I thought if I put it on here then there might be a chance of it happening.....

I am on a very serious mission this year to get all the big things done and then to have fun with smaller projects....

Wish me luck.....

Hope I can stick to that.....

Toodlooooo.....

I had a plan.......

at the beginning of my day but it.....

 " kinda got lost "

A nice relaxing crochet with my morning cuppa on the patio......

Not my favourite craft by a long way but I do love the project...... 

crochet hurts the poor old hands but I will soldier on......

Then off to the sewing room to finish the circle quilt top.....

Then I got a bit lost.......

sat around doing nothing for ages.....

We needed to go to the supermarket for a few odds and ends....

Heather popped in for a cuppa.....

Oh dear...
 what happened to my sewing plans.....

Well I did get on with it eventually.....

Tah dahhhh....

I'm in a hurry with the Mini Quilt BOM as the February one will be here this week and I haven't finish the last one yet.....

Guess what I'm stitching tonight ?

I decided to organize my UFO challenge  project.....

Cut it out, iron on the stitchery transfer so no excuses for not being finished on time......

So while I was looking for a zippy pouch to put the project in I found 2 pouches with projects waiting to be done....
Mmmmm had forgotten about these....lol....
traced, fabric and threads chosen hiding in the zippy pouch basket.....
Ooooops

Well it turned out to be a productive day after all my time wasting.....
So I'm off now and as you can see I have a lot to do......

Toodlooooo......

FNWF

For Friday night stitching I finished my January postcards for No-Fuss- stitch a long.....

Yes I know it is February but better late than not at all.....

I also managed to get some circle blocks sewn together.....

I'm very happy with my nights stitching.....

Thanks Cheryll for organising us again.....

Toodlooooo.....

I'm looking forward to stitching tonight with all the cyber stitchers.....

Pop over here to join in the fun.....

Oh what a feeling !!!!!

it is to finish a project that has been taking wayyyy to long..... it still needs to be sent to the quilter, hopefully soon....

 "Fleur " quilt top.......

First things first though......

While taking a photo I thought something seemed a bit odd so took another photo hoping it was just my photography.......

Then the " OMG " hit me......

2 blocks in the wrong place.....I couldn't believe my eyes....nearly cried....how could I be soooooo stupid.....

So back to the sewing room with unpicker in hand I got to work.......

Yahoo finally as it should be.....

I love this quilt and so pleased to have  the top completed.....

The following day I chose just to relax, maybe do a little stitching as well....

if I felt like it.....

Heather bought some rather delicious fruit scones and I made coffee, we settled back to enjoy a movie.....

When I looked around to see why it seemed so quiet and there they were.....

Father and daughter in noddy land......

How relaxed are they ?

A lovely quiet day had by all......

Toodloooooo

A good but small start ...

Tuesday girls....Wednesday ?????

My goodness what is going on.......

Tuesday gitls on a Wednesday, whatever next....I'll never know what day it is at this rate......

Our first outing for  the New Year......

We must be out of practice as the first shop we went to....was shut....

not to be put off by that....

off to the next place and ....phew it was open....Bayside Stitchcraft.....

A couple of very small purchases for me, not even worth taking a photo......

Hunger was beginning to set in so off we went to a lovely little cafe at Victoria Point.....

Oh no, it was shut.....

Once again it takes a lot to put us off so on the road again......

Yes it is an odd food photo but I was so hungry I forgot to take it before I started....

Whiskey Business Cafe......

it was yum......

Lunch done and dusted we set off for home.....

Hmmmmm maybe we need afternoon tea on the way.....

Yep we sure do.....

This cafe is in a nursery and is very relaxing here.....

What on earth are these 2 up to ?????

This little guy spent a lot of time under my chair......

It was soooo good to catch up with these girls.....

heaps of laughing and chatter of course.....

Toodles......

First FNWF for 2019

I started the night cutting and ironing on the  applique pieces for Simple Life.....

and also the circles.....

Then I got a bit sidetracked watching the Tennis.....surely I can find a way of doing the 2 together.....

So this is my pathetic bit of stitching....

I'm off now to check what the girls got up to....go here if you would  like to take a peak......

Toodles......
