It’s saying something that I walked out of work with my friend the other day and asked if she could see any plates above my head as I had a bit of a fear I’d left one spinning somewhere out of control. With all the finishes to tally and everything to post, and trying to catch up on my blog reading, I’ve fallen into a bit of a space/time black hole, but I think I’ve caught up now, just about…
Over the weekend I took my gran out to lunch and to see the pool at Tollcross where I was working at the Commonwealths. She used to go there with her friend on their days out on a Saturday. May’s been gone for a few years now, but I wanted to show gran how much it had changed with all the bits they added on ahead of the Games. I also got some sewing in, and some cutting, and ordered a couple of things for an upcoming project, so I think I’ll be set for a few projects for a while…
Since I forgot to do this last week, I’ll give you a 2 week roundup.
Finishes This Week:
This pressie got done. Oh, sorry, you think that doesn’t look like much? Yeah, well, I’ll reveal all in about 2 1/2 months’ time ;o)
In Progress This Week:
I got this basted while I was at the Brit Bee Weekender. I *still* didn’t remember to take a photo of it, sorry, I was a bit too worried about getting back inside as I thought I might be scaring the kids in the next cottage crawling around on our patio area in my jammies ;o)
I got my top completed for my Mormor Plum Crazy quilt. I have to make a back out of the other half of the line, but I haven’t got past cutting the patterned fabrics for that yet. (Apologies for the crappy in the dark lighting on my design wall)
Then I delved into the deep, dark recesses of my fabric stash (as in so deep I bought these just after I first started quilting) and grabbed this fat 8th bundle of Sweetwater Reunion which I’ve started cutting up. It’s just squares though so I’m sparing you the excitement of that…
To Be Worked On This Week:
Keep on cuttin’
Start sewin’ the cuttin’
That’d be it…
Linking up with Lee and the gang:
Hoping those plates keep on spinning and you don't hear any smashing sounds! Juliex
Have fun doin' your cuttin' and sewin'.
I like your Mormor Plum Crazy quilt. Great bright colors.
Kids are tough . It’d take more than you in your jammies to truly scare them.
Mormor is looking fabulous – I cant see anything crap about that picture at all.
I’ll be cuttin’ and sewin’ right along with you .
Your "Mormor Plum Crazy" quilt looks great. So fresh and modern. Like the pattern, too. Have fun with your next cutting 🙂
LOve your Mormor Plum Crazy project. The colors are awesome!
Thank you so much!
Haha – I think your pressie is looking fab! And your photos are great – all of them!!
Glad you are catching up, that plate spinning worry can take s while to settle!
well, cuttin' and sewin' is better than cuttin' and cussin'
have a good week
How nice you took your Gran back to a place she has memories of.
I hope the spinning plates don't crash.
Hugs Kay
Glad you're getting back to normal!
