BLOCK 8 A TISKET A TASKET.

well i've completed block 8. It is a fun block to do. i will be doing a nother one soon for another project along with a few other favorites.

''BUTTONS, BUTTONS , BUTTONS''

The other day this lovely lady came into my workplace wanting to know what to do with a container of old buttons. I told her I could find a use for them if she didn't want them so here they are. She 's probably saved them up as you do , from old clothes and the like. there are few that look old. There are some wooden buttons, some pearly ones , and somethings that look like cufflink thingys. There is a lovely one with a picture of a wee squirel in it. so cute! but only 1!! some toggles that would fasten some bags maybe, future projects. . . . . . . .

ANOTHER COMPLETED BOOKMARK.

I have completed another shabby roses bookmark. This one is for my mum. I hope she likes it, i'm sure she will. I also added a tassel . I think I will also do one for her good friend fay. She always says, ' 'you shouldn't of''! You don't mind doing things for people who really appreciate things. They don't take long to make which is another plus.

MY NINE-PATCH I MADE FOR THE QUILT-ALONG.

This is how I put my nine-patch blocks together. I was in the quilt along with crazymom quilts. we were supposed to do one block a day till we had made 70 blocks. most were put together with the white muslin sashings but i thought i would try something different so i used black snowball squares and black borders. It has turned out ok. My son likes it but it is going to be a throw for the couch. It might end up in his room at some stage though, probably till the next project comes along. I still have a few 9-patch blocks left over so I might make a lap quilt and try thr white sashings. Or maybe a couple of large cushions to lounge around on, we'll see. Now I just have to quilt it! This part will take me a while as I don't have one of those quilting machines . I could give hand quilting a try i suppose. . . . .

'THIS IS SO TASTY AND EZZY PEZZY'.

Yesterday, i made this really yummy hummus, so ezzy! take a can of chick peas, 1/4 - 1/2 tsp curry powder, big tbspn peanut butter, about 8 slices of dried tomatoes, 2-3 cloves garlic, 1/2 tsn salt, juice of 2 lemons. Just whizz it all together in processor till well blended, you can add herbs if you like too . taste it to see if it needs more salt. add olive oil or what ever other oil you have to make it quite a smoothable consistency. enjoy! You can also add 1/2 cup mashed pumkin.

NOAHS ARK FINISHED!

BLOCK 7


I have been able to get this done this weekend. I have done a little embellishment on 'mr sheep'. As we don't celebrate the 4th july here, I have just put my countries initials on my flag. Wonder what Anne will have us do next month?. . . . .
