"I've made some more of these lovelies".

My golden eyed boy....Hurly

Here is my gingerboy, Hurly.  He is on his lonesome as his brother never came back. I'm thinking of getting another kitten for company for him, we will see. He has taken over the bed too...sleeps right in the middle of us!

More blocks finished

I have managed to finish 2 more blocks of the lcqal.  one i changed a panel but still not sure i like it , but it can stay like that till all the other blocks are complete  uncase i run out of fabric.  I  love  doing the disappearing nine-patch!  it's so easy it nearly sews itself and you great combinations from one block. 
I am thinking of making my nephew (chey) an' eyespy ' quilt for his birthday in june...hopefully.  I should be finishing some of the 'ufos', that seem to be growing....  just keep sewing, just keep sewing........

'I've nearly caught up now' !

well i have managed to make the four blocks you see here . I have posted these on the flickr page for the lcqal group.

'Look what i've got now.'

Look what arrived in my mailbox a few weeks ago.  at last ...a camera !   Have you noticed i have a few more pics than usual?  My big sister sent me her old one
as she got a flash new one and this one was doing nothing...but it is busy now !  It makes blogging alot more interesting with pics to show and tell. I have figured out how to download to the computer now so i can post a few pics of things.yay!  thanks pamela.
As we are on dial it is sooooo s-l-o-w-w-w..... like you wouldn't beleive.  It takes ages to load the page just to do a new post so often you will see just a pic as that seems to load fast but to write anything is a right pain so i have been going into the local library and editing my stuff. We can't get broadband where we live as we are just in the wrong spot and it will cost heaps to actually get it so this will have to do.
Hopefully over this long weekend i will be doing my lq blocks and maybe some more of the candied hexys that i have not touched for months.

Toaster cover for my mum.

Well this is the toaster cover i made for my mum during the break.  Her little toaster blew up!  I have been trying to talk her into getting a 4 slice one but she was too stubbon. She sent me to the shop with instructions to get one but not a crome one as they leave marks so she got her toaster  and it was white but it was a  4 slice one  as that was all they had in stock!  Yay !  she's getting use to it now. She was just going to throw an old teatowel over it so then i decided to make her a nice cover for it, and the colours go with her kitchen too. 

IT'S ALL OVER FOR ANOTHER YEAR!

We had a quiet christmas. We didn't have to rush off to anyones place on xmas day, we stayed home and the boys opened there prezzys and tried out all their new gadgets. We layzed around and ate and drank and ate some more on this and that then i cooked our xmas dinner in the evening instead of the middle of the day. It was hot and i didn't want to cook so i didn't till later. I dida big chicken all stuffed with all the trimmings and a turkey roll which was really tasty and there is no waste on them , all meat. We were so full we didn't bother with dessert which was xmas pudding...it's still in the pantry! It was a good day.

On boxingday i packed up the truck and the boys and i went to my mums place. We had another xmas dinner she cooked and ate to much again. So today we are taking it easy food wise.

It has been so hot and muggy with it but today it is raining a bit but still muggy. The gardens need a drink and are getting it now.

Santa never bought me a new camera unfortunately s, so no pics.

While i'm at mums I am hoping to make some progress on my african flower afghan as i have't touched it for 2 weeks! Today is the first day i haven't felt tired as i've had quite a few late nights with work and christmas shopping and other stuff so finnally i can relax and not think of getting up for work for a couple of weeks, yay!! I hope everyone has a great break and holiday.
