Wordless Wednesday - Yum!

Joyeux Anniversaire Fanny

Fanny is part of The Young One's gang. She's 3 months younger than The Young One, but a head taller and is a Bob Marley fan. She lives with her Mum and Step-Father in the most gorgeous, falling down, chateau I've ever seen. The garden is just out of this world. Her mother is in Quebec at the moment so she's feeling a bit sorry for herself. So what does a Mum do for her daughter's best friend? (I've been told that I've got the colours in the wrong order and I did mean to make the Y red, but I like it all the same.)

Back in Quilting Mode

It's been raining here in Dordognefordshire. Raining quite hard. So what is a girl to do when she can't get outside to hoe the veg patch and talk to the tomato plants. Sew of course! Been chain piecing Seminole blocks like mad. The top row isn't finished yet. I put them there for effect! ___________________________________________________________ Look at this Mock Orange. It's gone mad and the scent is wonderful. I love the way it's managed to get itself in amongst the cherries and the way this arches because of the weight of the blossom. Reminds me a bridal bouquet.

Oooops - fiddling about with a new widget and managed to do something to the comments. I think it's back to normal now, but someone left a comment and I don't know who it is as it showed up as me!

Not Quite Wordless Wednesday

Why on earth am I thinking fire wood when outside it's in the top 20's?

jmb mommy, aka Jessica, is celebrating her third birthday. She's having a lovely party. Why don't you click here and say hi, but be warned. The cake has already been eaten!

30 FQ's Give-Away

Yup - 30! Hop over to The Fabric Shopper - click here.

Juggling,

or procrastinating, or multi-tasking, got the fidgets or just plain old can't make my mind up! (I don't think the photos are clickable. I've embeded them from older posts.)

This has come to the the top of the pile telling me it needs to be up on it's proposed hanging place pretty damn soon. (I have told it it's got to wait a bit longer as I'm still not completely happy with it.)

Then this decided it needed my attention. When Lazy Gal Tonya starts quilting the Halloween Noises quilt, I want to quilt this at the same time so it needs a black border on it. I also need to start thinking of designs. The Young One suggested lots and lots of spider webs all connected. Hmmmmm!

This came down off the wall yesterday and is being tied. I've found a little girl in France to be its owner. I've been searching and searching in Blogland and finally found someone this weekend.

I wonder if this is the oldest WIP in quilting history? Two years on and it's still not finished. The other day it appeared on the back of the sofa, seeking attention too.

To round off this post. My lovely Texan friend, Brown Dirt Belinda, and I have occasional phone chats, usually lasting for about 2 hours. Last time we spoke she asked what I was looking at while I was on the phone. This is what I can see out of the window by the phone.

The hay was cut at 8.00 am yesterday morning. At 7.00 am this morning the farmer was back to turn it. That means that either later on today, or tomorrow, it will be baled. Unfortunately someone will be missing from the yearly photo shoot of the hay bales. I had a quiet weep yesterday evening. I still miss her - terribly. This was her favourite time of year. Right - I'm outta here. PS - I'm in the process of decorating (again) so please bear with me. Then I promise I'll stop fiddling.
