Rainbow Quiz

I have been busy with work and taking care of an injured older son, which has taken up a lot of my time. I have also had painters in fixing up damage caused by water inside our townhouse, damage which has been waiting to be fixed for over 12 months. So now I have freshly painted ceilings and walls, instead of grey ugly ceilings I have nice, crisp, white ceilings and mould free walls. Fantastic my home is now like it was when we moved in 2 years ago. The painting was to take 2 days but took 4. First they painted upstairs, then downstairs and then back upstairs. So all I was doing for for 4 days was moving furniture around. Next will be the replacement of carpets. Not looking forward to this as everything will need to be moved out of 3 bedrooms, yuk,yuk,yuk, that means the cupboards, beds, wardrobes all need to be moved. mmmmmmmmmmmm when will I have time for sewing, yep, when all this is finished and my house is back in order. I cannot wait.

I have seen this rainbow quiz on a few blogs so thought I would give it a go. This is my result.

Your rainbow is strongly shaded green and pink.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What is says about you: You are an intelligent person. You appreciate everyone around you. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You are a good listener and your friends are glad to have you around in difficult times.

Wow another free block of the month

This is something I have been working on and need to finish before I start more quilts, or should I start a new project............

Yes another free block of the month is starting, are you interested. I think this is the year for freebies, what with mystery quilts, block of the month, quilt alongs, sooooooooo many to choice from, what is a girl to do. Join of course. Head over to Gai Pan Designs and check out her block of the month, especially if you love stitchery, you will not want to miss this one. http://gailpandesigns.typepad.com/my_weblog/2009/01/a-christmas-wish-free-bom.html

Enjoy. Guess I better starting cutting out my background blocks for this one. Happy Quilting/Stitching. Not enough time in the day for all these wonderful freebies, gotta time mange myself better..................that means less time on the internet and more time at my machine.

This is what I have been up to in my new improved sewing nook. It is only a small space but it fits my machine and some fabbie so I can sit and sew whenever I feel like it. No more getting out the machine, setting it up and by the time I have done that it is almost time to pack up. Now I can leave my machine up all the time and never have to pack it away for lunch or dinner. I am soooooooo happy I am doing the happy dance. It is not like my old sewing room,in fact nothing like it, not even a room, this is just a little space underneath the stairs. I guess you have to use every space wisely when you have downsized, but hey I can squeese into a small space, especially if it means I can sew when I like. I love it love it love it, happy dance happy dance.
I really should be getting my fabbie ready for the 2009 quilt challenge, but the gremlins have moved my scrap stash and I cannot find it. I will have to send out a search party into the garage and look in a few boxes. Yep I should do that now otherwise it will be the end of the year and I will be still gettin ready.
This is what my dog gets up to whilst I am sewing in my nook. What a life....... Off to search for my scrap box. Have a wonderful day.

I am back

Well I have had sooooo much trouble with my computer that I have not been able to blog or post pictures so I gave up trying and would just surf and look at other blogs.

I saw this awesome saying on another blog, forgive me for not naming the blog as I have forgotten but just had to share. It fits with my mood right now, a bit like blow it and be who I want to be............


“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs


Hope you all have a wonderful week and remember CEASE THE DAY....................
