weekly wrap up

After a great long weekend it was back to work as normal but it was only a short week as Friday was a flexi day. Yay!

 

This week I have been getting a few hexagons done, I restarted my flower cushion after I read the instructions properly, oops, and I did a few rows of my crochet a long blankie
I seriously need to plan colours better.








Things I was thankful for this week!
Shane came and got his skateboards and MMA stuff so that is gone from my room
We had drinks last weekend to farewell Shelly and Chris, we will all mis Shelly.
I caught up with Sarah and Brett I hadn't seen them for a while.
I cooked some seriously good food.

I am looking forward to catching up with friends tomorrow at the fishing club BBQ

I am thankful!

well today I am thankful for my job! I love it the people I work with get on fine, it can be bitchy when women work together but we are good. The clients are such a wide mix of personalities there is always something different going on.

October!!!!

I have journalled in my notebook every day for Shimelle Laine's learn something new in September class and I have enjoyed it I vow to continue here and blog just a bit every day or two.
Last month I have sewed, cooked, crocheted. Nothing excitingI have started a hexigin quilt I just have a couple of bags of hexies at the moment, no rush.
I have big plans for the next few weeks, I have two tops and a dress that I want to make for greenwell point weekend at the end of the month.
I searched for my fabric stash and it's gone!!!!
I must have given it to the op shop, well I did have the fabris for more than five years but it would have still been fine bugger

what I have been up to lately

I have joined in a crochet along. I am happy with the colours so far it is going to be huge! 289 stitches. I need to get a bigger crochet hook to start the chain string as mine are very tight. never mind

I have been doing a bit of patchwork as well. These blocks are from a swap from years ago.

 These are for a scrappy trip around the world quilt which I have finished the quilt top but no photos yet.
