Quick update on what's happening here ...




I have been moderately busy doing stuff ... 

Cutting fabric ready to make stuff ... and ... 

Not getting any of it finished .. yet ... but will one day ... 


oh .. and ... packing and cleaning to go visit the 2nd youngest son and family ... We won't be taking the bus this trip .. it is easier to take the car and stay with them .. we are having a bit of a problem finding somewhere that will take the bus and the dog ... not very friendly I think ... 

We will be heading off on Thursday ... driving from here to the Central Coast in NSW ... hopefully hubby will allow me to pop in and visit with a couple of online friends on the way there ... if not I shall just borrow the car and go visit them myself and he can stay and play with the kids .. 

anyway .. this is what I have been doing ... Nothing is finished yet ... 


Chopping and hacking up perfectly good pieces of fabric into bits like these .... 


 And then putting them back together into these bits .... 


 And .. then ... one day after I do some more chopping and slicing ... and putting and piecing ... Hopefully I will end up with one of these .... 




I love my EQ6 .... I get to play with what I am making before I even chop up my fabrics ... much fun ... 


Have also been trying to do a catch up with at sew along at 
Victoriana Quilt Designs with the plan to eventually make this 



So far ... I have this done ... still waiting for some stitching ... but I am not real happy with this .. I think that is why I haven't finished it ... reckon I will try again maybe with different fabrics .. I can always turn this one into a cushion cover ... 




and lastly before I head back off to bed .... 

My darling grandson Brodie had a birthday ... He is now 16 and quite the young man ... he stands as tall as his Poppy and I am so very proud to be his Nan ... 




Happy Birthday my Darling ... you are still as cute as you used to be ... and yeah ... this is a very old photo ...haha ... like most teens the only photos he likes getting taken are the ones he takes himself ... I will get one soon ... and show you all just how handsome he is ..
