It's been a very busy week at Chez Sunshine. Including, my dad's birthday on Friday, partying on the Gold Coast, meeting people I haven't seen in f.o.r.e.v.e.r., meeting up with people I first met in Singapore 20+ years ago, moving everything out of all the wardrobes, new wardrobes, trying to put everything back into the new wardrobes, going to Brisbane, and a teensy bit of craftiness.
The only craft oriented activities that happened in the last week, were finishing the binding on my dad's quilt in time for his birthday, I'll show pics in another post, and a couple of crocheted carrots. I spent a lot of time finding lots of inspiration (that I don't need) on the net. I already have way too many projects lined up without needing to add any more.
My list of things to finish:
I'm sure I've missed things in that lot too. Gosh that's a little daunting, did you notice how many backs, and quilting need to be done? I think that tells you something doesn't it, I like making the tops but not the rest of the quilt!!!

Poor boy, how embarrassing.

- French Roses quilt - 21 blocks to go

honestly, Karma looks pretty content :)
ReplyDeleteLove the sunset pics - do you have mountains around you or are there just a few hill interspersed here and there?
Glad to hear you were able to hang out with friends and re-connect with old ones, too!
Sounds like a great weekend :)
That's quite a list there Marg! I dont mind putting my hand u0p and saying , I love everything about quilting except the actual quilting part. Twins!
ReplyDeletePoor Karma...I bet all the other dogs are laughing at him...
Your list is longer than mine, but not by much. At least you've been having a lot of fun while avoiding it! I haven't got anything much to show for why mine are being completed!
ReplyDeleteKarma knows how to take a good photo - he is so flipping cute - though Shay is probably right - don't be letting other dogs see this photo!!!! Your list is long but you will get through it - we all put certain jobs on the backburner.
ReplyDeleteWOwzer! Busy busy! Love the sound of the new wardrobes though :-) Gorgeous sunset. I used to dress up our dogs (yeah like when I was 6) I had no one else to play with :-)
