A week of Saturdays

 At the moment everyday seems like a Saturday, but today it's the real one.

It's been busier than a beehive in spring here and baskets are cropping up everywhere. All the backgrounds have been cut after some dramas, and all the baskets are cut too.

I had wanted to add some white and cream backgrounds with grey but it just didn't look right to me so I went with a creamy background but as I was cutting I ran out of fabric so had to add a second choice and just got the remaining blocks out of the piece. Both were left overs from other projects and there will be some creative juggling once they need to come together.

Four blocks completed so far.... and I am pretty happy with them.

oops pardon the foot in the corner 

thought I would share some pin cushions  I made last year as gifts for crafty friends...

I love Pincushions and have way more than I need but it's nice to make them for others.

As you know Maisie was my Cat Scanner of quilts and when she passed it left a position to be filled. Miss Poppy seems to have stepped up to the mark and is the Queen of comfort!

She loves to check out a nice quilt whether it's in progress or giving it a test run once finished and don't even talk about crocheted blankets...

Here is another nighty that I completed for our precious little girl. I started it around 20 years ago and it just needed buttons and little extra embroidery.  Below it are some little singlets I spruced up for her too.

Sun is shining in between clouds and rain so I hope to make the most of those breaks in the weather.

Happy days!

Hope you have reason to smile today!
