WIP # 1 - Finito

OK, so I may be a month behind but I did get this finished, washed and fluffed up in drier last night. Hand pieced and hand quilted except for attaching the binding, I like it more than I thought I would. This past week I also got my RR blocks sewn together and the VHC top and backing sent off to be quilted. Quilting aside, I also got some granny squares done for Zoe's bedroom, just 4 of them but it is a start right? Amazing what can happen when you utilise a few spare hours effectively!

This WIP challenge has me thinking about what I need to get done and what I haven't even started yet, and making me very eager to get quilty again. I am determined to make a dent in my WIP's in 2012, even if I don't conquer them all!

Today I have the 7 year old home after a huge scooter stack yesterday so I plan on getting the machine out once the chores are done and she is set up in front of a movie!

Suffering in Silence

The littlest person started school, I am in training for a 100km walk which is next Friday (yikes!) and I have started unpacking all the boxes now that we are in the new section of the house. This only means one thing, I have no free time for crafty goodness, and it is driving me mad! I have managed to crochet 3 granny squares whislt watching tv over the past few nights. I also have my 1st WIP from the challenge ready to bind. I have some serious catching up to do on that challenge!

For today, I am unpacking my tubs of craft stuff into the girls old bedroom, which is going to be my sewing room. Admittedly their bunks are still in there and they are still sleeping in there as I haven't done anything about window coverings in their new rooms yet, but the wardrobe is free for me to fill up with all my bits and pieces.

At least now it is all accessible and soon my Horn cabinet and machine will be in there too. Can't wait for that day. Meanwhile I will suffer in silence whilst I carry on with my other chores and responsibilities and dream of the day when I can craft away!
