Getting closer.......

I have been working on this one for awhile, so long in fact that I lost the fossile fern fabric that I had cut ready for the borders. Soooo I had to find more but of course it took time and I lost interest in finishing it. (As you do) I am planning on doing some more designing before the school year starts. (As I am less busy and can while away days in my shed on my lonesome without having to run off all over the place) So I dug out this quilt to get my head back in the game so to speak. It has certainly whet my appetite and as soon as I have written this I am planning of whipping up a sample.....I have had the husband chained to the computer this afternoon drafting the pattern for me and I need now to get the method in my head for the writing process. Will be back with a sneak peak of that new project soon........BFN

Happy New Year...........

....I thought it was about time I updated my blog. It has been a while and what better way than to welcome in 2010! I had a lovely surprise as I opened up my shed this morning, I have a little basket of succulents on my verandah and somehow I have grown a flower! I am not much of a gardener so I certainly cannot take any credit, LOL but I did take the picture.....does that count??

I hope to be a little more diligent with my posting this year.....note I say HOPE! WE will have to see how that goes. I will be back soon to show you what I have been working on today.

The wonders of the internet........

Today I had a visit from the postie, one that I forgot that I was expecting. LOL.....Nancy in Norway had told me she was sending me a Shed Warming gift....and today......it arrived!!! She has sent me an interactive CD postcard all about Norway, a thimble, and little traveling tissue cover and the sweetest little drawstring bag I have ever seen.

Nancy, I am assuming that you have made these gifts for me and I just want to say how much I appreciate you taking the time to do so. Your work is BEAUTIFUL and I would really love instructions for both. LOL. Thank you so much....I have had a tiring frustrating couple of weeks and your parcel arriving was a real pleasant surprise! Still cant believe that you would be so kind, when we only know each other from cyber space..........amazing!!!

I'm IN!!

I still dont have a ceiling....but I am working out of the shed.....let the pictures do the talking.

You know how I said I was almost done......

......well I wasn't. The more I looked around the house....the more I found! Just when I would think I had it sorted, I found more. I believe that this week I have FINALLY taken everything out to the shed that belongs there. I have spent the last couple of days straightening up my bedroom. For the first time in about 8 years, there is NOTHING under my bed. My shoes are back in the walk in robe......and I can even WALK INTO my walk in robe. I feel tonight a bit like I am sleeping in a hotel room it is so clean and tidy!

So the task for tomorrow is to get the Shed into the same order.....so that by the time the kids head back to school on Monday....ALL will be set to rights! Then PICTURES for you!! LOL

Thought you would like to know...

I am almost done..........

Moving in......

I am still short a ceiling....but am told that it is easy to install and makes little mess. So I have been moving in......slowly bit by bit around all my other commitments this past week. Oh and a whole day of rain, which was lovely, except when you are trying to shift thing out to you back yard. Gave up and had a nap in the end.....LOL We are moving in the last 2 pieces of furniture this morning...so hopefully I can shift the last of the "stuff" after that. I am yet to tackle the 1 task I am avoiding ....... sorting fabric....I have it stashed all over the house and am a bit worried about putting it all together....then "other" people will know exactly how much I have. LOL. Will post some pics bit later.

cheers
