I have made a list of January 'to do's'...
- make one of my cross stitch pincushions-have made a start
- make a start on my block 5 of down in the garden
- quilt the Jack and Jill quilt
- make some hexagon flowers for my Swan Lake and get a start on cutting dollies out
- Make one christmas Item

block 5. A lot of stitching to do. I substituted the centre written poem for the butterflies.
a start made on cutting dollies, heads and arms...
I have basted the Jack and Jill before Christmas and made a start on the hand quilting.
At the end of the month I will hopefully have made a decent dent in the list.
On another note...
Today I got to experience a wonderful piece of live theatre. I was offered a ticket to see 'the Importance of Being Earnest'. It had Geoffrey Rush acting in the role of Mrs Bracknell. It was an absolute hoot. I really enjoyed the humour and cleverness of the play. Seeing Geoffrey Rush live was the icing on the cake. He is just unbelievable. The two actors that played Algenon and Jack were super too. It was impossible to not watch them interact.
If you are in Melbourne and get the chance to see it-go for it.
Am enjoying the cool change today....
Happy stitching
Marina

You have a busy January ahead of you! But you'll have some loveliness if you get it done :)
ReplyDeleteThat's a great list, I'm impressed by how organised you are. The pincushion looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThe Importance of Being Ernest is a great play isn't it? I was going to say we saw it a few years ago in Christchurch, but I remember I liked it so much it started me on an Oscar Wilde phase including naming a little waggly puppy Oscar, and he is now 12, so it must have been a bit longer.
Could imagine him acting up that role - In a handbag??!
ReplyDeleteCute butterflies on your header and the stitchery!
