Getting lots done

Well I can thoroughly recommend a night at home alone - it certainly gets a lot done. I finished the top of my Chelsea Charm quilt - it just needs quilting now.

I used my "bright" fabrics, and finished the sewing case for my neice's birthday (from SKOW). I think it needs a pincushion, needlecase and a simple starter stitchery to finish it off. She will be 8 in August, so I'm well ahead of schedule with this one.


I watched "The Help" on DVD, which was really good. And "New Years Eve", which wasn't. I finished Sonoma Rose by Jennifer Chiaverini. It was okay, but not her best. Hope the next book is back at Elm Creek.

I even planted five new trees along the drive (had some help digging the holes yesterday before everyone left). Lots of autumn colour to come, and five yet to plant.

Today I finished off the stitchery part of the SKOW bag, and am off to work on the bag construction now.

Back to work and reality tomorrow. Boo hoo.

  3. Boy! I'm tired just reading of all that you achieved. You did have a great time "Home Alone". Your neice should be thrilled with her sewing kit for her birthday and I just love your Chelsea Charms. You'll be kicking everyone out again at this rate. LOL

  5. Love the little bag for your niece and the gorgeous fabric you used. And so glad that you enjoyed your holiday in lovely NZ - the South Island is SO beautiful. I loved The Help and am looking forward to reading the book - apparently it is fabulous.
