Crafting and caring

This little poppet wasn’t her usual chatty self 

I bought some new items to play with 

She only played a lit while then climbed onto the couch to lay down and rest



She really wasn’t too interested in food either 

Which is so not her!

So I asked if she would like a hot chocolate to have with grandma in a real mug 

She liked that idea I figured at least she’s getting some milk into her 



Once again she climbed into the recliner and fell asleep 

She was very sick last week and I guess she was still tired from that 

Once she woke, after a two hour nap, she was much better. 

By then her daddy and grandpa were here so they had to play hide and seek with her 

On the crafting side of things. I got the sewing bug and went looking for a project 

Not hard. I’ve so much fabric and so many choices 

I found two jelly rolls that I had purchased from the shop I used to have lessons at. 

That was when my daughter was still in high school 

She’s 34 now! 

I decided a log cabin quilt would be easy, not needing an actual pattern 

One roll is all pink and green flowers. 

The second is darker with only black and whites. 

I hope the different colours with show as a light side and a dark side 

I remembered reading somewhere that the centre of each block should be red. 

Luckily I had some red. 



I say sewing for only a little while then can back to knitting. I can do that on the couch while watching telly with hubby 

I lashed out and bought a blocking board. 

I’ve never block before. I know. Very bad. 

These squares really need it. 



So far we have a puppy 



A kitty 



An owl 



And a penguin 



Currently working on a kangaroo. 

Well we are aussies after all 

It’s Saturday now and I’ve just come back home from art. 

I finished another painting. If your interested there is a link to my art blog 

I don’t want to scare you with my art. 

That’s your warning. Look but be prepared lol 

Now it’s time for coffee, an audiobook and some sewing. 

Enjoy your weekend
