Just a little peak....

I am SOOOOOO relieved to have these finished....they are the last of the Angel/Mortal swap gifts from the Scquilters Retreat I was supposed to attend. I am mortified it has taken me so long to tidy up my final contribution to this commitment...and I hope that my Angel & Mortal understand....I guess after all this time it will be a lovely surprise in their week...well I hope so anyways.... I am now going to wrap them ready for sending tomorrow ....THEN after I get the kids home from school..I am turning on EQ6 to start nutting out the particulars of this next quilt....

cheers

I am still here....

I really am...LOL I know I apologise every time for my tardiness and lack of attention to my blog, but honestly I just don't know where the time goes...7 weeks since I last posted??? UUgghh really I cannot believe that this year is almost half over!

I am enjoying winter...This is my favourite time of year, the heat seems to do horrible things to my body, brain, mood and level of motivation. But WINTER....ahhh so lovely, easy to get warm and toasty under a quilt!!SUCH FUN!

So here are the fabric form my next quilt FQ friendly quilt. It is in my head... there just BURSTING to get out...but I have a few outstanding things to tidy up before I start cutting I HOPE to be at it by tomorrow afternoon....I PROMISE to keep you updated.

Relay for Life

Hi there....been a while again I know....and today I am checking in for an nonquilt related project. I have talked to you about my weight loss project...(tracking very nicely..I have lost 27kg now.)Apart from losing weight I have also wanted to challenge myself physically. To that end I have signed myself up for the Relay for Life to help raise funds for the Cancer Council of Australia....It is a 24 hour walking challenge where a team has to relay around a course for the 24 hours...I have not yet thought about how much walking I personally want to do...we have a big team so there is lots of opportunity for rest and recovery...Excited & Nervous all at the same time...

What I really need are sponsors...no point doing this unless I raise some money...So here is a link.....

My afternoon gifts.......

This as you can see is a totally DELICIOUS Kaffe Fassett Book and ANOTHER Angel....I have a nice little collections of angels now...so sweet. So these are my afternoon gifts. I have been told in a note that there is one more gift on the way...my reveal gift!!I really thought I had them all...but am now going to be watching the post like a HAWK.... YAY for angel gifts.

Present No 1....

Look....just LOOK!!



In case you can't make it out...it is a mug, with a little handy dandy mug bag & matching coaster.AND the cutest little hand knitted cupcake pin cushion...feeling just a little grateful & spoiled....and I have 2 more to go!! Yay....

What a goose......

I forgot to open my Friday parcel.......LOL It is locked in the shed & I am in bed.....so tomorrow.....

Where I should have been.....

Feeling a bit melancholy today....I should have been waking up in the Sebel Habourside Kiama, a bed or so away from Lindi....ready to enjoy my first Scquilters Retreat....I had to pull the pin about a month ago..and although I did so reluctantly, over the last month I have received many little confirmations that I made the right decision.

Thankfully I have had a lovely Angel along the way, who sadly I will now not get to meet and thank in person......but she has been very thoughtful & kind and even though I am not there...she has made sure I don't feel like I am missing out too much....



...this all JUST arrived via my lovely postie Kevin.....As you can see there are stickers telling me when to open them...and I will obey...LOL

The biggest regret that I am feeling is that my poor Mortal will not receive her final gifts till she gets home..I hope it does not spoil her retreat too much...

I will pop back over the weekend to show you what I got...
