What's been doin' in the Willowberry House?
Lots of quiltin' and stitchin'... lots of gardenin'... and 2 little eggs a day
Milli and Vanilli are loving their new home! Don't you love it when chooks lay an egg and they announce it to the world? '..i DID it!... i DID it! An EGG... An EGG..!"
funny little man has been busying himself filling up the garden along the back fence and today a whole truckful of mulch arrived. Won't be seeing him for a few hours... I might go out for coffee...
On the stitching front, the fingers haven't stopped. Yesterday was hideously windy, cold and definitely an indoors, heater, coffee, footy on the tele kind of day. Perfect for stitchin'...
I did this
Don't know why.. or what I'm going to do with it.. but it needed doing so I did it. Maybe a little needle book??
And a bit of simple hand quilting on some French General stuff
This might become a stitching day folder... restricted for use on stitching days...
or maybe not... I'll let you know
Cutest quilting on Baby Hoot is all done
Just the binding to hand sew and it's almost ready... No tote with this one, I'm creating something different. If it works, it will be delightful.. if it doesn't work, it will be... another tote :)
I had an invaluable helper while I prepared the binding
As you can see, I couldn't have done it without him...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Today's jobs? Finish the border quilting on Aileen's baby quilt
drop in to see Shaz (although that requires me to get out of my pyjamas... might not drop in to see Shaz)
and start writing the Baby Hoot pattern
Stay tuned...

The yard looks beautiful!! It's ready for spring...just like you! Why can't you go visit Shaz in your pjs? It could be embarrassing if the car broke down but otherwise I say go for it! ;0

Hello??? Hi??? I waited and waited - but alas...no-Chez turned up!!!
It's ok - the girls and I had ALL the home baking to ourselves!!
Chocolate Hazelnut Biscuits - devine!! I would have shared (maybe)... But I understand something else came up and I know that it was important - Hope all went well...did you eventually get out of your PJs??? :)
I love how you can be busy and creative and actually get stuff done - I try to be busy and creative, but dream far too much how it'll look when I'm finished - instead of actually completing said project... I do find you VERY MOTIVATING CHEZ...
Will get back to it NOW!!!!

Congratulations to the winners!!! And congrats on the eggs - I can just see your chooks announcing them, lol. Your little heart is gorgeous - perfect with the fabrics - and the quilting is glorious! I don't blame you for hiding inside, when there's all that back-breaking work going on outside, lol. But it looks so great!
