SLEEPING IN

 

Nice sentiment to start the day with.

And sleeping in.

I'm not getting up any time soon.

But when I do get up, I'm doing the usual first thing in the morning jobs.

Then heading into this mess:

ABOVE:  I have piles of fabric all over the bloody place!

I will be really happy once I've got all the fabrics fused onto the blocks.  Then I can put all that fabric away again.

The mess is starting to do my head in.

I'm a clean/tidy freak, so when the sewing room is like this it grates on me nerves.

OH here's a question for you.

I've been pondering if I should turn those blocks into a duvet cover, as opposed to an actual quilt?

The duvet cover would be EASIER to make, and far less time consuming.  The quilt would look more 'impressive', but take me 4 times longer to make.

Either way, it will look amazing on the bed.

So... what do you think?  Duvet Cover or Quilt?

Right, I'm rolling over and reading the news, then snoozing some more I think.

Depends on me foot.  Why do I say that?  Anyone remember?

12.15 pm:  And I've not been a slouch.  I've done all the morning jobs, then straight into the sewing room.

ABOVE:  And I've got two more blocks ready for stitching.

I've not made up my mind about the Duvet vs. Quilt yet.

But I think... it will be a quilt.  But as you all know, I'm notorious for changing my mind. 

Time will tell I suppose. 😆😖

I think the fact that a quilt will take more time is making me lean that way.  I've got quite enough stuff for markets already, so a longer term project might be best.

It's lunchtime, so I will stop for a while and have lunch.  I've made myself a mince and potato pie.  Stew will be getting the same for his dinner.

Most days (when it's possible), I'm having my main meal at lunchtime now.

Seems to be working on stopping me over eating at dinner time.  Win win.

NOTE TO SELF:  Do NOT have a pie for lunch!  It will give you severe heart burn and reflux.

It only happens with home made pies I might add.

I've felt shocking all afternoon, another day feeling ill!  Not fun.

Bex and the boys called in after school, which was lovely.   She got to 'help' me cut out more pattern pieces 😅😋.

Stew just got home from Rotorua, and he's off to do some exercise in the gym room until his dinner is ready.

Right.  Dinner is done.  Husband is fed.  My tummy is finally settling down again, thank goodness.

Now watching Coronation Street, then off to bed.
