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

You sound well up for a great weekend! It must be so exciting to see your friends book..go on, bet you could be next :)
You've been one busy lady!
A busy old week. We have one dog who freaks out at fireworks.....and one that couldn't care less!!
Sounds like a busy week! I laughed out loud when I read about naming children after Disney fairies - so true :D Hope your dog isn't too traumatised after the fireworks! Have a lovely weekend x
How many things you fit into your week! Hope that thumb has healed ... And that you really enjoy the weekend. (Excited about the quilt square!).
Sounds like a fun week and I hope your thumb heals soon, so you don't miss out on any quilting time
I'm with Sinead ... see it often here too!
I laughed to imagine hubby's face as you cleared a space...only to fill it with something else!,

I have done exactly the same with my scrapbook supply. The paper has been moved to be replaced with wadding! I love the look of those floor cushions.
I hope CoCo survived the fireworks. Kiera is so frightened that she has to sit on my lap - not a easy task for such a big girl!
Putting your card and paper in storage :0(
You accomplished a lot, I hope the weekend was fun and restful!
It was fun reading about your week, Deb. Pity that you cut your finger on your rotary cutter! I did that once reaching into a drawer - man those things are sharp. I'm truthfully afraid of those things, even though I use one regularly. :o)
