Right, I’ll just say it now, I have a chest infection and I’m feeling sorry for myself, so no matter how crappy any of today’s work looks, just don’t tell me, okay? ;o)
My finishes for the last week are:
My Piece Bee With You circle of geese and signature block:
My first frame purse:
My Sew Bee Joyful signature block:
And part 1 of my super secret project (pop over and see Alli and she can tell you all about how it’s horses in Arizona…)
I told myself that if I got that part of the super secret project done, then I could deviate for a day or two and play with something ‘off-list’. Having the ick meant that today all I felt like doing was sitting there watching loads of things I’d Sky +’ed and sewing, so now I have a choice.
I could tackle the 241 tote, that I got recently in Anna’s sale over at Noodlehead (after all, all of blogland can’t be wrong about this bag!). I’ve got the pattern printed out at full size, 75% and 50%, so I can have nesting ones (or something like that :oD )
Alternatively, I could try out the pattern I dreamt up at work after I got distracted had a light bulb moment in a meeting (I’m attributing it to the Excel spreadsheet that was being projected, although I think my neighbour in the meeting probably wondered about the mad numbers I started scribbling down!) Anyway, I now know exactly how I want to use this little lot (not all that white, I assure you!):
The next part of the super secret project is prepped and ready to go, and I have plans for it and the birds for granny on the train trip down south next week for the work Christmas do in Manchester. My long suffering colleagues are used to my madness, what’s another freaky thing to embarrass them with, right? ;o)
This week I also want to start on my gran’s cushions, but that involves a trip to the fabric shop and Dunelm Mills. I may go after I visit the doc’s tomorrow, so I don’t actually have to go out again over the weekend. I also have to hit Tesco too – ugh!
I’m hooking up with:
(BTW, isn’t it nice that those buttons match?)
Hope you will be back healthy real soon. Not fun to be sick.
Your work is amazing – That purse is beautiful. It's your first? Ever? WOW.
Hugs
Phew! You don't sound ill – what output!! Especially love the purse, looks vintage, and the circle of geese. Must get into a bee next year, they seem like fun.
i'm very impressed by your circle of geese. i've had the pattern printed out for a while now, and am just to scared to try it. yours is beautiful. hope you're feeling better soon!
I'm sorry about your chest infection! Stinky winter sicknesses going around…
Your Piece Bee signature block is very cool! Also, now your Arizonian horse is wearing a shoestring tie. How apropos! ;D
I got the 241 pattern on sale, too!
Can't wait to see your Excel quilt!
So sorry to hear you're not well! Your Piece Bee With You circle of geese is just fantastic! Can't wait to see where the pips are taking you. Will you let me know what you think of the 241? I'm thinking of one myself…
Very nice. I love the color palette!

Sorry you aren't feeling well! Feel better soon! So impressed by the frame pouch- I have a frame but have yet to do anything with it!
Sniffles and chest infections are rotten. Keep dreaming of what you will make next. What an achievement, with all the things you have finished.
Get Well.
Hugs

Well.. that all looks like rubbish.. haha JUST KIDDING!!! Everything looks great Katy! How could anyone say that anything looks crappy? I love your Circle of Geese blocks, and the frame purse looks great and you are really teasing us with your super secret project. 😉 I feel for you with your chest infection, though. 🙁 I hope you feel better very soon. I am fighting a nasty sinus infection and finally got some meds for it at the doc yesterday and am starting to feel human again today. Being sick is NO FUN! Get well soon! xo
Hope you're feeling better soon honey, chest infections suck!
Your frame purse is lovely 🙂
I ALWAYS misread 241 tote and think people are in some mad cap challenge to actually make 241 tote bags!…And yes a little part of me wants to join in the madness!
I see no crappy projects here…only amazing ones! I am in love with your circle of geese block. So gorgeous and those colors are beautiful together. And I'm drooling over your frame purse!
I hope you feel better soon!
I like the top 2 blocks! Love the color choices. I saw this at WIP. Thanks for sharing!
