Well...

I went and got the stuff for the quilt...

To be honest I feel a bit daft, like I've set myself up for a fall. I mean, I know nothing about this and there is no class or anything around for me to run to. Just me and the ton of books I've borrowed from the library. Still I'll give it a go eh? You never know, it just might work.

Aside from that there is little news to give. Easter holidays are progressing along the usual lines - baking, painting, raiding the dressing up box and huge amounts of chocolate. (I am talking about the children now, not me!)
We went to the Gnoll park this morning and ran around in the bamboo. Making dens is the best. Too busy to take pictures, sorry. But it is a brilliant day. High fluffy clouds and bright blue sky. Time to mow the lawn I think, get the kids outside for the afternoon and then they will be too wrecked to hurtle around V when he gets back from work and I pop out to mine.

So must get on...I want to cut the square out and get the embroidery design down so I can make a start on it this evening in work. Work, hah! Can't really call it work can I?

Hope you are having a bright sunshiny day.

New Project?

Is this the next distraction? I know I keep on about it but it is taking me a helluva long time to recuperate from this 'flu thing that I had. I am just not up to dyeing fibre or painting yarn which was my next intended dabble project. I need something that will occupy me peacefully without boring me but not be so challenging so as to fry my poor brain...

Just a day or two ago I stumbled across Kate Quilts in Australia. I know nothing about quilting, the design and colour sense needed to quilt just does my head in, but she has a pretty blog with some very cheerful Celtic/folk music on a little widget. And while wandering around I found a link to a Noah's Ark Quilt which really caught my eye...
I have been thinking about it since then. I used to be pretty good at embroidery when I was younger though it has been a long time since I did anything of note. But these little rabbits are speaking to me and they are saying "Go on...give it a go..."
