So Much Work!!

Thought I would catch you up on what's happening here at this time.

The garden is being over run by weeds - no time to get out there and do too much, and with all the rain lately it won't be done soon either!

2, A FINISH! A Tunisian crochet scarf has been finished for a dear friend who is going overseas to England and Ireland, this Saturday.  I have told her not to bring it back, because she will never need it again!!

3.  This is the last birthday quilt that needs doing - lots of progress:

And some half square triangles assembled into larger blocks:

4.  The lovely Hawaiian fabric that my friend Liz gave us all is being pieced using that half hour block pattern:

Some of the girls thought they might put a solid colour in the middle, but I didn't want to do that, I think they will all go together beautifully, and the red frangipani fabric will be gorgeous all around them!  The blocks are 3" I think, so this is a fiddly one!

5.  I am way behind in my BOM's, Craftsy is only 1 month behind, but Material Obsession is a bit more:

Guess I had better get more organised here!

6. I'm 2 weeks behind with my TAST stitching.  oops I  ALMOST FORGOT :_

7.  Started a new shawl, Penelope got the last one:-

Well I think that at least now "I'M JUST DOING IT" ! That's enough for now I think....

Lots of "Stuff"

I thought you may like to see what I am up to at the moment  - in the sewing room that is!

Today I received my swap block from my Swap Blocks Australia partner, Kay.  A lovely little house block:

Isn't it cute!

I am currently working on a few things - Tunisian crochet to start.  Do you know how to do this crochet?  It is really interesting and I have wanted to learn since last year, so I read all the stuff online, books and bought the needles and I just could not get the hang of it!  So yesterday I went online and checked out You Tube, and watched some videos, so now I think I know all about it!! 

I obviously learn by looking, and this is what I'm doing:

Remember I'm a beginner now:

Doesn't look like much does it? Maybe you will see it better if you click on the picture.

I'm real proud of myself!

I'm also crocheting a new shawl - I gave up on the last one, but this is much nicer:

I think this one is going to be much better.

I'm also doing some sewing and some embroidery, but I will show you that tomorrow night.  I think this is enough for tonight.

See you tomorrow.
