Reasons to be cheerful part one.


Introducing the Beach Trash Hexies cushion.
A finish-along finish!
(I hand stitched the zipper, then topstitched with the walking foot to hold it firmly in place.)
(Just in case you remember how crap a time I was having with zips...)





April Brit Bee Blocks done (little late, oops)

My weekend, in pyjamas, will be spent doing some of this...




And a lot of this....

    The cushion is fabulous and the to do pile might be tedious but well worth it after we love our HSTs!

  8. I'm in pjs too. Family all buggered off to the Peaks for the day. Laundry in. Dinner in hand (sort of) and sewing beckons. Woohoo! Hope they don't do a super quick walk and return shortly after lunch. I love them, but I also love them taking a long, long walk.

  14. I have total weekend envy. We're at the fitting sinks/radiators/painting stage of the wee loo refit. Covered in silicon and stoor! Tempers are starting to fray, too!

    P.S. did you ever show your sexy yellow floor? Or have I dreamt that whole thing...

  23. Oh I'm with you. Usually I cut my quilt blocks out one by one but I have a Stanley Cup hockey game to watch from last night (if NBC haven't restricted it for 48 hours) and I suppose it would be sensible to cut at the same time. Maybe get all my Heaven and Helsinki blocks done so I know just how much fabric is left over to go in my stash (and other forthcoming projects)

  24. No one else is up in the house yet so I don't have a time for chatting as of now (not sure what the day will bring for the family) - my plan is NOTHING but with it being Mother's Day they may have other plans. I love this pillow!! It turned out lovely and it is DONE!!! I see some other blocks getting worked on...woo hoo!!! Chat soon!!
