But, I so want to get this one done... it's been bugging me for over a year.
See my hydrangeas?...
TODAY: no plans.... the Hospice Shop is closed for the next few weeks so I don't have to be there today.
ONWARD...
*sigh* I've been working on something "secret"... but some fool let the cat outta the bag last night... so now I can talk about it! We are having a party on Saturday the 8th January for Stew's 50th Birthday! I wanted it to be a surprise for him... but his idiot cousin rang last night and told him he couldn't come to his 'surprise' party. Friggin idiot.
NOW YOU GUYS... if you want to send his nibs a card (come on, I know you want to!)... just email me for my address ! Lots of you already have it of course.... but if not.... hurry up! His birthday is on the 8th of January!!!!!
BLURG!..... the worst is done, the quilt is all pinned up... my left index finger is covered in little holes (ouch)... now it's time for the sewing....
OMG... did I think pinning it was gunna be the worst? WHAT WAS I THINKING?
End of Day: and I'm done in. 5 hours sewing wiggly lines on that blasted quilt, then 4 hours Christmas shopping in a crowed mall... I. AM. DONE. Now all that I have to do is wrap and label everything. But not tonight. It's 10.35 and I've just got home. Gunna relax for an hour, then have a cold shower and go. to. bed. nite nite.
I say duvet cover because after a year IF it isn't doen right that would bug me too,I love hydrangeas there is a beautiful stand of them just outside Hamilton and they are big and colourful, this may be the time and weather to achieve all your sewing projects YAY!

your quilts are lovely, I am always showing my mum your latest projects. She does lots and lots of quilting.
ReplyDeleteWow what a idiot giving away the secret how annoying.
What a twit that cousin is...oh well, I'm sure the party will be great fun anyway....but a surprise would have been good.
ReplyDeleteChris, you married a younger man! How cool. Ahem, so did I. Me hubs is younger by 2 years but I "act" younger. And I must say you're quite a gardener. I kill plants - over-water, under-water, forgot about them!
ReplyDeleteHave you checked the cost of getting a professional to do the quilting?
ReplyDeleteSome people don't know that a secret is a secret!
I'm supposed to be making shortbread but I'm here.
Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Just a suggestion ..... give the kids boxing gloves. Perhaps not!
just looking at that quilt on your sewing machine made me nervous! good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteOne plant makes all those different colored flowers? I wonder if hydrangeas grow here...
ReplyDeleteI'm stealing your UFO and PHD acronyms!
My wife has a sore arm, and thinks it is from Crocheting. I guess it's possible, after reading your post. I thought sewing was easy, sit in the rocking chair.... I guess if you have to muscle thick fabric through a skinny sewing machine slot it can be pretty tough..
Have a great day!
Don't some numb skulls drive you nuts.. don't they know what surprise means. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteText me the address cause I'm going to send a card though who knows maybe we'll catch up while I'm up there??
Have a great Christmas to all of you and relax, knowing people luv you and your blog. xox
Just signing out for 2010 but had to stop by and wish you a merry christmas mate.
ReplyDeleteHave a lot of fun, enjoy yourself and take some stress pills if need be.
See you in 2011.
WTG getting those UFO's done!! And the shopping! I finished and wrapped last night, on to cookies today!
ReplyDeleteChris you've gotta learn quilt-as-you-go!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSend me your snail mail address ... I've got something for you :o)
