As I type this I have two kids hiding under the kitchen table playing with a toy fishing rod and at times running circles around me. In other words, the usual for our house. I was good, I did think about doing some housework, and I finally got to and cleaned our front window that had sticky hands all over it. (I hadn't done that in about 7 months... I know terrible aren't I?) And I vaccuumed again. That is all I seem to do!

Today I need to get my stuff ready to go visit my Mum. I am going there tomorrow morning so I will try to have everything organised tonight in the car ready to go. I go down each week and see my Mum and get to go to my sewing group on Thursday nights and perhaps a bit more sewing on Friday if all goes well. :o)

I have nearly finished all the blocks for my 'basketweave' quilt and I have sewn two rows together, I just need to get to and finishe the last 3 or so blocks and join them into rows.



When I take photos of this actual pattern it shows up really well, but the actual colours look awful. I assure you that in person this quilt is nice and bright in its 3 different tones of both pink and green with a deep purple in the backgroung. PErhaps when it is finished it will photograph better outside? Who knows?!

I am also going to make a present for my Mum for her birthday in June. It is an appliqued picture of two swans on a lake. Very pretty and I know Mum would like it, and it is actually stuck onto a canvas. I have never actually done this before but I like the idea. It also means I don't have to actually quilt it so at least that will save some time making it!



It was cold the other morning on our way to Kindy so here are my two all rugged up ready for the cooler air.

Today it is nice and sunny so I am off to hang up my washing.
