Very Late Scatterdays..

OK, its late I know I know... but hey, at least its done!

This weeks Scatterdays was : VVVVVVVVVV (bloody hell I thought)... subject was, in the kitchen, car part and the office.. argh!! One day I will work out the mosaic flicker thing, but its too much for my brain to work out.. so bear with me possums!











OK, car part = visor... In the Office = visitab files AND the rentonkil VERMIN killer...
Kitchen thing = well I couldn't let a week go by without a pet pic.. so here I have the 'VARMIT eating his VIDDLES'...


I have also included pics of the Quilt a long, block of the week I have been working on.. I am doing two at once, so this week I chose a blue and a lovely green.. I found these FQ's I didn't even know I owned them, they were 'hidden with some other fabric'..



I have also been cutting up scraps into 2.5" squares for a mindless leader/ender project. Is it just me, or a quilters odd? I mean, we make leader/ender blocks to save on thread..hmmmmm when I think of how much fabric I haven't used and probably will never use, I am sure glad I have saved on thread! LOL Actually, it is amazing, as I have made all these blocks from enders in the past week, 18 blocks in a week.. not too shabby.. I'll put them with the hearts I have been receiving..



I also made a pencil roll for a party that Missymoo is off to tomorrow (I thought it was today).. *sigh* kids parties? I am always struggling to find something to find something for the kid for a pressie.. The girl who is receiving this LOVES blue, green and pink (outside is pink) and she does art classes, so I grabbed a sketch book to go with it.. I had seen a few tutorials on the web, but in true Lissa style, I changed it a little!

Well I think thats enough from me!

'til next time..

what to get up to on a poxy day....

Well, being housebound and crook is NOT my idea of fun... so if a girlie cannot go out and spread her poxy germs, well, what is a girl to do?
so I got up to date with my Block of the Week from Crazy Mom Quilts blog.. I am happy with how they turned out, the centre seam matches! woohoo.. Triangles are NOT my favourite thing whilst quilting so for me to be happy first time around is 'happy dance time'.. (imagine a fat blonde tart doing a irish jig and thats about what my happy dance looks like).. I will have to add some more colours to the next block, as it is looking a tad purple.. and I must admit, purple is NOT my favourite colour..

I also signed up for a mystery quilt through Quiltville, and also the quiltville chat group, and here are my 100 rail fence blocks.. I am up to step 2 now, I have cut it out, but not sure what to use for a light.. you are supposed to use a light colour for it, and only 3 colours in total.. but I want this to be super duper scrappy, so I might use a white on white fabric (adding an extra colour) and the accent colour is supposed to be dark, but seeing though 30's are my favourite 99.9% seem to have similar colour value.. so my quilt wont have a 'zinger' in it, but my accent colour will be the green you can see in the 100 rail fence blocks I whipped up this afternoon during nanna naps and lay downs cause I felt woozy..

Now onto step 2, and I'll post a pic of those when they are done, will take me a couple of days to get them done, and also, the Crazy Mom Quilts block of the week will be up by Tuesday (our time in Australia) so that will keep me and my pox germs busy...


Till next time...

Shock! Horror! GASP!!!

Yes, another post, three in two days..

Well I thought I'd join the fun from Crazy Mom Quilts blog (link is on the left) she is doing a 'block of the week'.. so far, so good.. here is a pic of my two blocks.. I know you'll be surprised I am using 1930's fabrics, and I can't beleive I didn't have to actually go hunting through my stash to find fabric, as these were SCRAPS, yes SCRAPS from another project, so even better.. Pictures not perfect, but you get the 'gist' of it I am sure..

We have a new government in Australia.. woohoo.. I wasn't too fussed with the old one (they liked spending too much $$'s on bloody advertising, and dont get me started about education etc).. not sure if the NEW government are going to be much better, a lot of new first timers, so I guess they'll be out to prove something.. it was a bit of a swing against the sitting government, but I guess the electorate was after a new approach, so good luck to the new government..

Plan for the afternoon is to get some more sewing done, finish the washing (we have had rain for 5 days) and get the ironing done the same day it comes off the line, which nowadays is a minor miracle..

Wish me luck, cause I am sure gonna need it..
