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.

Great to have it finished and getting ready for the quilter. definitely worth all the work over the weekend. I think it is looking wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI really don't understand why our workplaces can't allow for an afternoon nap, at least!
Waauw The Boys quilt is finish, its a beauty. Well done Marina.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt top is absolutely lovely. Colours are so bright and happy. Love your cat but my eyes keep focusing on that lovely cushion. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteYour quilt is just adorable , congrats on finishing the top . Lovely applique block too . Good luck with the rest of the week :-)
ReplyDeleteLove 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.
ReplyDeleteYour quilt looks great, Marina. I love this Sweet William block.
ReplyDeleteSad face for you! Your boys quilt looks wonderful as does your block. I do hope they don't work you too hard.

ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful! Must have been some effort you put in on the weekend! Cute applique :) Just tell everyone there's a slight breeze, easily explains an itty lean :)
ReplyDeleteIt'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 :)
ReplyDeleteLove the work.

You had a pen stash?!

Oh, your quilt top is just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI think you should be very proud of your achievements these holidays. You did so much including all that Christmas sewing.
ReplyDeleteI don't think that a little work will slow you down too much!
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?
ReplyDeleteYou got that pieced together amazingly quickly, it looks wonderful! Lovely sweet william block too. It's a bit rough having to go back to work isn't it!!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt is amazing Marina...well done for working at it!!The Sweet William block is great too.
