where did all the holidays go....

Two days back at work so far and I must say I am sleeping like a baby...
It's quite tiring having to think- remembering passwords, where you put things last year that you need now, where did my pen stash go, who was that again? etc etc.
Definitley a mojo killer!
Lucky I worked so hard on the weekend and Australia day that I got the Boy's story top all pieced together.
Phew! that was a job and a half...
would you like to see it?
the photo doesn't quite show the oomph of the bright fabrics as it was a gloomy grey day when I snapped the pic.
Just need to piece a backing and it's ready to go to the quilter.
 Second sweet william block appliqued too. It has a little lean but that is a minor concession I can live with!

 Maisie checking out the dolls in the girls' room!


hope you are having a lovely week.... Hope  I survive it. Craft group on Saturday, which I haven't made it to for a few months. Looking forward to catching up.
happy stitching.

  5. Love both the quilt and this block. And I wouldn't worry about memory loss from work - it does tend to come back - eventually. To me it's the sign of having had a very good break.

  12. It's wonderful! Must have been a mammoth effort you put in on the weekend! Just tell anyone rude enough to mention an itty lean, that there's a slight breeze, or that they themselves are wonky :)

  22. I think you should be very proud of your achievements these holidays. You did so much including all that Christmas sewing.
    I don't think that a little work will slow you down too much!

  23. The quilt is just fantastic!! I love it. Going back to work can be trying... When I went back on Thursday I couldn't remember the passcode to get in the second door (door with key to building, door with passcode, door with key to my office - sheesh!) What do you do for work?
