Where do I start? I have been juggling a lot of things lately and something had to give. I had so much happening, pair that with a complete and utter loss of sewing mojo, meant blogging lost out for the last few weeks.
So now for all the news at Chez Sunshine. BP is moving to Brisbane.
I'm a city girl at heart even though I've lived here for 12 years now. Wow 12 years, the longest I'd ever lived anywhere before that was 4 years. So I have taken the opportunity to find somewhere for BP to live in Brisbane that would also be perfect for me
to go and
visit and
stay and
shop and
do the stuff that city people do that I haven't done since I had Bitchypoo. She is OK with that, in fact she is very ok with that.
Almost 2 weeks ago we moved most of BP's stuff there, but she's still here!!!!!!! She loves her mum so much she won't move out, ha ha. I might have to move to Brisbane and leave her up here :) BP is still here partly because she has a part time job that will take her up to Christmas and the post Christmas sales, which is great. She is working for a company that has stores in the city too so she can transfer to one of them if she wants when she moves to Brisbane. It also looks like she may have another job lined up in Brisbane in the new year. Fingers crossed for that one.
On the sewing front, it's been weeks since I felt like sewing. I couldn't even summon the enthusiasm to sew a seam, cut some fabric or piece some of the EPP starflowers.
Nada, zip, nothing.
Cue Julie from Melbourne coming up to stay. Jules was the catalyst for my sewing frenzy yesterday. Julie helped me organise my stash and my projects. I cleaned up the dining table that went from way worse than this.
I should have taken before photos.
To looking like this.
A little bit of retail therapy helped, some Christmas fabric came home with me, for a Christmas project that might not be finished until the end of next year.
With my cleaned up sewing area and finally feeling like working on something, the first cab off the rank was basting this baby.
Saturday Julie and I basted it, and I started and finished quilting this quilt. I must be sick. I just hope that this doesn't mean I've used up all my mojo that I found. Photos in next post.
Sunday was hot, very hot so in the morning we had brunch along the river at Noosaville.
Then went for a walk along the beach at Noosa Heads.
Sunday afternoon I was going to make the binding and sew it on, but it was just too hot to think about doing that.
