Full of cake...

Today saw the final instalment of the November birthday celebrations, and not a cake too soon!

Between all the calorific binging, shrieking and smiles of the last week I did manage to get my sewing area tidied…

Tomorrow I get to have a haircut and a few hours to myself, and then I can start thinking about Christmas!!!

PS. The work announcement was all over the News last week; our site is remaining, but in what guise is still to be decided, so I am not out of a job just yet, so watch this space xxx

Losing track!

I feel like my head has been all over the place this last week, and next week isn't going to be any different.

I finish work Tuesday lunchtime, and my To Do list still seems impossibly long; I've been adding things like clearing out the cupboards of out of date food and making sure we eat enough space in the freezer for all the Christmas extras!

I have also lost track of what I have shown you from recent makes, sorry.

Yesterday I handed over my Dad's birthday present; it went down well…

Oakshotts and a little Dashwood Flurry for binding.  I used 1 1/2" paper HST's on a roll which I love, and some simple as quilting…

The muted colours of the Oakshotts give the cushion a look I really love, where I would find regular solids waaaaaay too in my face.

So that's the 2014 birthdays over; now it's Christmas all the way!
