A lot of work done!

 Started quilting this quilt. This is a quilt for 4th grandson. An inheritance to remember me by. So now all 4 grandsons have one.

This is a biscornu that l am cross stitching. Its something l need to try. Am going to put it in my bowl with the strawberry. A few turquiose pieces together!

These wild flowers are now flowering in the park across our home!

Am so lucky, decided to pop in a small shop after grocery shopping and found this cute frame. Now l can put a few seasonal cross stitch pieces together instead of having a few nails in the wall. Also change them out with seasonal things. So lots more cross stitching yeahhh! Hubby is glad about less holes!

This is a small cushion for my best friend to put in her wooden bowl

Done at last!

Finished my turquiose strawberry at last. It matches my thread bobbin on the cross stitch. Now busy with a biscornu in turquiose! Having lots of fun with small cross stitching! Still have a few pieces to finish!

Time just flew by!

Hi, l have been so busy lately! February is nearly done! Its been drs, homework, food and pills  shopping. Neil has karate 2x weekly in afternoons so waiting for him gives me reading time! Also having loadshedding of 12 hours a day also needs to be taken into consideration. Urgggg this government is useless and corrupt. 

Anyway l am now trying to get my hexi quilt top done. 

Also have Liams quilt top done and will start sandwiching it next week.

Have lots of 2 1/2 inch squares left and going to add prairie point with the binding.

This is my working table where l do most of my diamond dotting for a hour early morning around 5 to 6am. I then go onto some folding the prairie points getting ready to add when l have finished quilting it. Around 7am l go and sit in lounge and work on my hexi quilt. Lots of daylight needed. When there is loadshedding early morning l have  small precharged lamp to see where l am working.

Tonic our cat loves catnip and l bought a small ball of it from a recycle shop in town.

Coco watching from inside the truck at kids playing in the sea. Was to hot for her to sit in the back of our small truck, the mat is black and gets too hot standing in the sun. 

Made this cute pillow for my best friend.

Finished stitching this cross stitch piece.

Our son and his family went on an overseas trip for 2 weeks. They went to a few places and also Venice  so of course l requested them to go the Murano the glass blower island and they brought me a thimble and magnet holder and hubby got some type of drink mix. They went to Ferrari factory, legoland and had lots of real pizza's. 

 Well now l am up to date with my life. Today its cloudy and nice. I am finishing the last of the hexi's then l am going to try to get Liams quilt sandwich and going to watch a Harry Potter movie with grandkids this afternoon. I have not even read any of the books. Hehe. 

Take care and keep crafting.

A Busy Week!

Made another bag set and got my fabric ready for another HAEDS project 

A small redwork with my left over sparkly aida fabric. 

Another row on my Chatelaine just designing as l go along.

I have learned to mount my own projects watching YouTube 

This is Matilda a design by @finallyafarmgirl 

Mostly smalls l mounted this week. Takes a lot of time. These smalls are free from @pinkernpunkinquilting.blogspot.com and just love them. 

Feeling really sentimental!

This is the kist l inherited from my mom. My doll in red is 60 yrs old. Raggedy Ann at least 15 yrs old and a singer l recently bought that needs some attention. The walking stick was also my moms.

Two cross stitch projects l have now mounted and they match perfect without me realizing it until now. Also the pincushion that was a Christmas snow ball that my sister sent me. The glass ball broke during the journey.  l love how l made it into this and not throw it out.

Inherited this from my stepfather and it was in their house when he was small.

My crazy quilt all hand stitched by me 10 years ago. The round table was bought just after we got married 50 yrs ago! The cloth on table is also one of those preprinted pieces from many yrs ago.

Wow never realized l have so many old valuables around the house!

My hexi quilt so far

I still have a few more hexi's to add then l will have a double bed size quilt top done. Thanks to Emma of @vintahesewingbox for the inspiration to use up my scraps.

The finish!

A Finish and more!

This is a new pattern that l just had to have!!!!! wow Love it and even making a nice vinyl bag for it!

Now to find the fabric for it or else l will have to color it myself!

Made a thread catcher with a small felt heart to hold my needle. The cute button l got from my sister

.

My grandson got his learners license today!!!!
