One Thing & Ten Others!!

Well ... Here I am, finally getting back to tell you who the winner of the May OPAM draw is & it's almost time to remind you to send your June tallies! SHEESH! It just seems that June has been a month where if it's not one thing keeping me from sewing & blogging, it's ten others!!

Nasty head cold, dental visit, funeral, major toothache which hadn't been solved by the first dental visit, second dental visit & extraction of said problem tooth & resulting sulking & rocovery time. Throw in internet issues for the last two days, some more changes at my grown up job & some yucky cold weather that you know I just hate & all in all, I'm ready to see the end of June! The only high point is ... June will end with some sewing therapy next weekend when our Friday Nutters gather for a mini retreat. YAY! I just have to find time this week to edit & prep the next block of my Secret Squirrel project so I have something to stitch. :0)

So ... I hope June has been kinder to you than me & that you've enjoyed some quality crafting time. Some of you must have because there were ...

134 FINISHES!

Well done to everyone who contributed to that tally ... Which included my first finish for the year ... FINALLY! :0) And the winner of the random prize draw is ...


Congrats Narelle! Drop me an email & I'll send your PDF prize pattern for you to play with. :0) And a big pat on the back if you're like me & not getting many finishes logged this year, but have been making some good progress on a longer term project. As Dory in "Finding Nemo" would say ... "Just keep swimming!" :0) And to thank you all for being so patient with this slacko blogger, I thought I'd share some sneaky-peakies of my Secret Squirrel project with you. This is the block I've just finished ...


I'm really happy with how it turned out & think I'd like to buy some flowers from this pretty cart. :0) I'll also let you in on a little bit of my secret ... The blocks I'm working on will come together as my very first Block Of The Month design! :0) So you can imagine I'm pretty excited about that, as well as a little bit terrified. :0) And a sneaky-peaky at the block I'm working on now ...


Bottoms up. :0) I'm enjoying working on this project but it is very time consuming so I'm like Dory ... "Just Keep Stitching!!" :0)

But right now I'm off to put the kettle on & hit the design desk (A.K.A. The dining room table cos it's close to the fire! Tee! Hee! Hee!) to start sketching the next block. I hope you're having a fantastic weekend & that your week is full of little blessings ... Cos the little blessings in every day add up to a very blessed life! :0) Til next time ...

BEAR HUGS!

CHEERS!
