Yep, I shall grow my own lavender... thanks for that! But for NOW.. I need to find some already dried eh? LOL....
TODAY:
- kids to school
- hunt down lavender
- finish dem little bags...
Not much else to report right now...
Oh hang on.. I have a really sore little lump in me neck... so I'm going to the doctor today too. Had a sore neck right down to me collar bone for days, it was kinda tender and swollen, but now it's just this one place with a nasty little sore lump (and NO, it ain't a bloody pimple!)... so I better get it checked out I suppose. *sigh*
ONWARD....
I made these two last night..pretty? MUCH.... (hate me later for boring you with patchwork..OK!
Pfffffft, can't get in to see the Dr till 5.30 tonight... so will just sew I suppose! Havn't tracked down any lavender yet... been sewing and listening to me Dixie chicks DVD in the garage... probably driving the neighbours nuts. Such is life! lol
This one got made this morning.... I feel like every one I make is nicer than the last one!
ABOVE: This afternoon's effort, I made 4 like this, and think I will incorporate them into a quilt for Brylee... they are just so darn pretty.
Stew, (the Darling) has come home early so I don't have to drag the kids to the Doctor's with me! AND he's going to get dinner (takeaways!).... yaaaa.
MELLISA: I doubt you could send me your lavender (BUGGER) due to quarantine issues, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for the offer!
End of Day: been to Dr... will yak about that tomorrow. Tired and grumpy.... going to sit on me bum and sew! nite nite.
Hi Chris, I am in awe of your broad artistic tallents. The squares are lovely.... Never boring!
ReplyDeleteHope all is well at the doctor. ((Hugs))
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous, Chris,
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the doctor. And the lavender hunting!
Growing lavender is a great idea! We've got lots around our place, they need full sun - all day! xxx
ReplyDeletecool blocks I like the one on the right the best. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope the lump is nothing... keep us posted!
HUGS Laura
Wicked Chris. It's so good to see you so happy. Hey what about lavender oil .. a few drops on the batting is just as good as the real thing? Otherwise there are lavender farms in Ashhurst and Woodville .. they might send you some.
ReplyDeleteOh those are soooo gorgeous! Good luck with the doc.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you...
Can you send lavender through the mail?? I have a huge bush in my garden!! Let me know and I will send it to you!!!

I think you can buy lavender from some chemist shops like potpourri pouches or bags. I think the last lot I got was from Briscoes.
ReplyDeleteYou are very clever Chris. I love the last ones in the pink tones.
ReplyDeleteI hope everything goes well at the doctor. Thinking of you.
I like the top pink and green one best, that's awesome! :o)

Hope all went well with the doctor! I was just thinking - you have made so many of the squares that you could almost have a quilt by now! They are beautiful, by the way!
ReplyDeleteLove the patchwork. The chicks are one of my favorites as well. Hope you get good news from the Doctor. Waiting to hear all about it. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI ♥ the blocks with the heart and the one with the butterfly..."sew" cute!!!!! I hope the lump is really just a zit and nothing to worry about.....keep us posted.
ReplyDeleteDon't take this the wrong way but that center shot looks like...well lady parts. Where you going for the Georgia O'Keef effect?
ReplyDeleteOh they are very pretty - and did I see right, some even have NO traces of blue - who would have thought? ;-)
