Chipping Away at the List...


.. and at my sanity.

Two large rectangle cakes made and in the freezer for Saturday. Butter cream made and in the fridge. Fondant rolled out and then rolled up in parchment paper, and in the fridge. Lime dessert made for tonight (and since consumed). Chocolate flapjacks made for the retreat.

Last two bee blocks to be hand delivered in London finished.


Hoops for the sample swap finished. Some pouches for some people finished (but no photos as it is almost midnight and the light just isn't that good now).


Dinner in a pub garden by the Oxford-Rugby Canal watching the world go by - lovely.


To do in the morning? Prep all items for FQR classes. Pack my suitcase. Make sure that I have everything I am supposed to give to people with me. Remember to take the Siblings Together quilts. Oh yes, make packed lunches and do the school run as per normal.

Easy peasy! (Famous last words.)

  1. Wow you're doing well. I still have some top stitching to do then the swaps are done. I sent Kurt up the loft earlier for my suitcase so I guess I'm really going. OMG, I'm so nervous. Really looking forward to meeting you at last :)

  4. Helen looks so grown up. I must get back for a visit soon. Have fun on your retreat. I am sure you will get everything done on time, if not, It was not meant to be done.
