happy new year

Happy New Year - may 2009 be a blessed and wonderful time for you all!!!!!!
What have I been doing today?
Sigh.........taking down all the Christmas stuff - how come everyone is VERY KEEN to put all the stuff up - but no one ever wants to help take it down......double sigh
But at least the house is now clean I spose.
Managed to get a little sewing time in once all that was done...yesterday I did the weekly BOW (block of the week) from the dear jane site - it was M13 Lynette's Diamond. Today did M12, M11 and M10 too - sounds impressive I know but two of the blocks were really really easy.
New years resolutions?????
Well........get all my stuff finished off that is already started and hopefully end the year with a smaller stash of stuff than what I have now.
Also to exercise and eat healthier (as we all do at this time of the year) and Im going to keep a diary of crafty stuff completed and also books read - easy peasy really.......lol
BTW photo is of M10-13 dear jane blocks

All DJ blocks are easy if you do them on the right day!

(Except Papa's Star, that is always going to be a doozy.)

I am impressed at the speed of your progress with your DJ, I need to get back into mine.... if I only had time!

My Mum Mum was a quiet achiever, going through life with all its ups and downs with little complaining and always enjoyed the escape of a good book. My Mum was lovely – she cared so much about her family and so loved to hear about all our goings on Although in later life she had health issues – she faced them all bravely and worked to find out the best way to live her best life and bore them with dignity. Her life was one of change and she changed and adapted with the changes. Pamela Blanche Geoghegan was born in Bendigo on the 30th December 1938 (yes she just missed her birthday this year) to loving parents Stanley Norman Geoghegan and Emily Ada Blanche Pattinson. The year previously her brother Brian Stanley was born but he died shortly after birth. When she was only 6 years old her father Stan passed away at the age of 30 and for the next 13 years it was just Pam and her mother Blanche living together and they got on famously as Mum would say. The first change in her life. N...

Ive had a very special finish and its a quilt that I love, I wish I didnt have to make but Im so glad that I have When mum went to heaven, the online quilting group that I am a member of - Southern Cross Quilters had the members make me heart blocks in rememberance of my dear mum. I asked for rainbow colours for the hearts as one of mums favorite songs was Somewhere Over the Rainbow. This is the result and its it lovely..... Its taken me a while to be able to sew them together and to quilt and bind it - I needed to wait for the right time Yes it was sad but also so very healing and it is one very special quilt that will hold a very special place in my heart Thank you to each and every one of the SCQuilters who made me a block Your love shines through Also PS the fabric I used as the borders and the backing fabrics were mums as was the label panel - that felt right
