Gloomy-ish...

After a beautiful weekend, full of sunshine, family, trips out and getting stuff done, today was not so great.

Poor hubby was bed-ridden having over-done it in the garden yesterday, his back just wasn't up to the job, poor bugger; so there were unscheduled doctors and chemist visits in the mix.

The weather was grim anyway, raining most of the day, the kids took timeout in their stride, and I got to do a little more work on #mysmallworld whilst waiting for the doc's home visit…


I've since pieced and trimmed all my 1"x 2" finished flying geese, for this and a later section, and I am feeling happy about getting those under my belt.

What I am also feeling happy about, is succumbing to Amazon's deal of £10 off when you spend £50.

All weekend I was considering going the way of the Kindle.  I do love a real paper book; I collect certain authors and having been cracking on with the pile of unread books I collected over the winter; the lure of being able to get access to loads of books that I would probably otherwise not try or buy, seemed like a good idea.

My pondering paid off!

So for less than £45 I went for it; I will give my verdict in due course.  What I would be interested to know is if anyone has bought e-quilting books, I am wondering about how templates etc would work?

For now though, I guess that means I need to make a case!

From the other side...

I think we are on the other side of the winter woes; the heating is going strong, and hey, here I am with the blue glow of the BT hub for company; apparently I am going really fast!!  We haven't actually received any notification that we have been connected, and myBT still says we are being switched on Wednesday, but that is somebody. else's. problem!

So I hope you had a good weekend; Saturday at my parents' was lovely, catching up, and pressies for all.  I came home with these goodies…


I love the tui and pohutukawa fabrics, and the magazine will be keeping me out of mischief the next time I get some quiet time to myself.  I also love that although my parents were half a world away, these were bought from Lyndy, whose blog I have followed for years, and whose shop is on my 'one day' list for when we next make it over to New Zealand!  Thank you M&D xxx

I'll show you what I got up to on Sunday tomorrow, when hopefully I'll have got a couple of decent photos.

Fingers crossed for a good week xxx
