This week

This week:

 

 

• I've got both patchwork floor cushions up to the hand finishing stage.
• I discovered that just because a rotary cutter blade isn't sharp enough to cut fabric neatly doesn't mean it doesn't have the capacity to slice a chunk out of your thumb.
• The dog has been a bit confused by the sounds of fireworks going on around the area.  I don't know how to break the news to her that a full on firework display and bonfire party is planned for tonight over at the cricket field practically next to our house.
• I put a large amount of scrapbooking paper and card into a storage box and moved it into the utility room.  My husband expressed how happy he was that there was now a large tidy space in the spare bedroom until ...
• I replaced the space made by the paper tidying with fabric and quilt wadding.
• Whilst entering data for applicants to our school, I realised that some people don't appreciate that naming your child after your favourite Disney fairy isn't necessarily going to be a good idea by the time she is a teenager.  Especially if she does not turn out to be a delicate, pink loving, ballet dancing girl.
• I was horrified to learn that the lady who takes the Fitsteps class was ill and her friend - a crazy Zumba fanatic - was taking the class. 
• I was equally ecstatic when her audio equipment broke after the first routine and we all had to go home early (lucky escape, or what?!)
• My friend's book was published - and on sale in bookshops worldwide.  So very excited for her - it really is proof that dreams do come true.
• I bought some Christmas cards.  That's pretty early for me but why put it off when I knew I was going to be buying them anyway?
• I finished off the quilt square to send to Alexa as part of the Friendship Quilt

It's been a busy old week, and I'm pleased I've finished work, it's now Friday afternoon and the weekend officially starts now!  Have a good weekend everyone!
