Chookyblue's Second Shedaversary

I have joined Chooky (over at Chookyblue to celebrate the second birthday of her chook shed).

I should still be sleeping, but wanted to join in with the ladies, no I have not imbibed on bubbles, only tea and chocolate.

This is what I have been working on





Blocks for swaps, that Mr Significant Other mailed for me when he went grocery shopping this morning.

And this


Not sure what occured with the colours,  but they are not like that in real life.

Anyway, I had better go and get a little more sleep,  before heading back to work.

Weekend Overview

First of all I hope all the mummas and grandmas had a lovely Mother's Day.

Over the weekend I commenced sewing the Triangle Quilt into rows. Will post a photo in a few days. These were the triangles before sewing commenced

The Quilt along was hosted by The Sassy Quilter. 

I also sewed together some more 2 inch charms for my Postage Stamp Quilt. Mary of The Curious Quilter runs a charm swap twice a year, in March and October.  Lots of fun receiving packages from all around the world. Will post a photo soon.

A little knitting and tinking were undertaken on a scarf, called The Vacation Scarf, it is part of the Encouragement Angel Swap over on Knitting Paradise.  Let's hope there  will be no more tinking!

I Have Been very Slack

Hello to all stopping by

I have been silent for over a month (hanging my head in shame).

I have been doing some sewing, blocks for swaps, Postage Stamp Two Inch Charm swap, received some lovely little treasures from across the seas.

I have been keeping up (well trying to) with the BOMS I have signed up for.

(Having a silly nasty virus from mid-February to the first week of April did not aid in my good humour, as it knocked me around and I did not have any motivation to sew.  The virus actually came and almost went, before flaring up again, four times, yes four times, used all my sick leave up, but had no voice and conjunctivitis along with a beastly headache :( ).

However, now I have commenced taking some extra vitamins to fight the effects of colds, garlic and zinc, vitamin C - so I think they are doing some good.

I shall post photos of my doings very soon - I have to wait until I go to town where internet reception is stronger than out here.
