Where to begin?

I have been quite busy since my last post...


I have put together a charity quilt which just needs borders. I used orphans from the 'Heart Blockswap' that I used to do with the Blockbuddy's. These heart blocks were mostly made by Rochelle, Maureen and I. The postage stamp blocks were from Kate and were swapped for fabric. Thanks again Kate.

I have also made some more cosmetic bags... Forgot to take a photo!

I tried to make a camera case for our trip. The first was too big, the second was too small....
I'll keep trying and when I have perfection, I'll show them all LOL.
When I showed DH my various attempts he said: "why don't you just buy one?'
I said: "Because you told me to 'just make one'"
"I was just kidding" he said!!!!!!!!

My "Berry Crush" is ready to go to Chris, the Longarmer on Friday. (It's been ready for a while, but I have only just started driving again.) I decided not to piece a backing as Chris had a particularily lovely backing fabric last time I was there, and I decided if it was still there, it was meant to be for me :-) Also the top is very heavily pieced and therefore very heavy in weight so I decided a pieced backing would just be a bit much (well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it! LOL)
And just as I'm ready to close the Orange Crush chapter, Toni sent me a fabulous parcel this week and inside was her Orange Crush UFO!! :-D



Here's what else Toni sent me:



DS1 loved all the Halloween bits and some things have already been feretted away in his room.



And I do love getting US mags, they are so different to ours! Thanks so much Toni. (your return parcel will be on the ship shortly LOL)

I have also finally made all the blocks for my Double Delight and am now ready to assemble them!!! Yippeee!



So it's been a busy few days, but I always get a bit frenetic before I travel, so no change there then LOL

Dinosaurs & Roses

I have been making gifts.

For little birthday boys...

And boys who now live far away...

And for kind people who look after children until the early hours of the morning.

Kind people even get embroidery...


And then after I had rested (LOL), I remembered how much I enjoyed fabric painting, so I painted some more shirts...

For little boys who like dinosaurs...





And for little boys who like sharks...




Time for another little rest ;-)
