Back in the studio

I spent a short time in the studio, I pulled an old pattern I was working on about a year ago. I had the need to make something more traditional. It's like a star, I made up the pattern, but I am sure it's been done before. I am paper piecing, which is sometimes fun, and sometimes tedious, but the results are great. I will go out there later and do some more, as I was interupted by a phone call, and thought I might get some housework done, while back in the house. We may be getting the computer tonight, so I want the house respectable when Travis comes over.

Got some surfing to do, so I am outta here!

yeah!!!!

Our friend went over our computer, and got most of our files and photos, and loaded them to the external hard drive. The old computer is dead, so he is organising a new one, and will come over later this week to instal it. Thank goodness for that.

Have a great day xxx

Drizzling and cold here!

Disaster

OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Our computer has been playing up for a while, so I have been using the laptop, and waiting for Craig to get an external harddrive. Well we turned the computer back on yesterday, and there was a new computer, no files NO PHOTOS, no nothing. Like a brand new computer. This is terrible. I spoke to a friend, who is also the computer guru at school, and he has a program he can run, so hopefully we can get our files and photos back. These are all the photos from the last 4 years or so! I feel sick.... Lesson learned, all files atc will be backed up to the new external harddrive.
I was going to go out to the studio and work on my next journal quilt, but the photo I was going to base it on is gone! More to come !!!!

Soooo busy

I have been so busy with life and kids and general everything. I have been at the gym most days, my computer has been sick, and I don't have alot of time to be online. Hope all are well.

What did I do

Not much really.

Tuesdays is coffe morning with the girls, then off to the gym. Then I needed to chat some more, so stopped over at a friends house for more of a chat, and then home. I did some washing and then picked the little ones up from school, and took them to watch the aerobics teams from school. I must tell you, they were awesome, and I was very impressed with how hard the children were working.
Then home after dropping the kids off at their dad's house, and home to myself. Craig was working late, and I was here by myself, which I don't like much at all. He finally got home at 1 am.!!! I had gone to bed but could not fall asleep, and then he set the alarm for 5.30am, ahhhh, so I am a little weiry today, as I don't fall asleep very well after waking up. Hmmmm'

School Quilt Finished

This is the school quilt, looks quite nice there on my wall. But I still like the last one better.
The ladies at school have been anticipating it's arrival, and were very excited when they saw the bag this morning. The one I made last year raised over $480 for the school. I don't know how this one will go, but I will let you know on Sunday or Monday's blog.

Have a great weekend........It's raining again here, Soccer should be lovely tomorrow in the rain.... 

Thanks

Thanks Elle and Joyce

I started with just three colours. Procion dyes, red mxr5 (off the top of my head) and then added red mx (again off the top of my head). Blue and black, with a dash of blue in it.

Then just using the cram method, and slopping the dyes over the top. I did use salt this time, which I think works well for me. I like the results better when I do use it. I must get to the studio to finish the quilt for the school. The auction night is this Saturday!

Dyed fabric from Sunday, yummy!!!

This piece will be the backing for the school quilt, it feels like a bit of a waste. I will be able to cut off this end, the blue and reds are stunning. I used alot of dyes. Very pleased.
