I've been quiet for a few days, haven't I?
What could I have been doing?
I made this scrumptious chocolate cake for morning tea today...
...and I got all excited about block 1 of "The Sewing Circle" arriving in the mail, complete with cute little bag to store the blocks and sweet ceramic buttons to complete this month's embroidery block...
...then there was the stitching of some more Churn Dash blocks for my new quilt (I am loving doing these blocks!)...
...and finishing a project for "Creating Country Threads" magazine (you'll have to wait till next year to see it published though)...
...as well as finishing a project for Patchwork & Stitching magazine - also for publishing next year...
...and sewing up a bundle of my Shabby Roses mug mats for my Stitchers Angel swap partner.
You see, I've been a busy girl cooking and sewing.
Tomorrow will be a not-very-much-sewing-to-be-done day, though.
I have secret business to attend to.
Did you ever sing the children's rhyme -
"I have a secret, I can't tell, I can keep it very well"?
In all my life I never did....until now.
Don't you hate not knowing. :-)
Hugs
Jenny

ReplyDeleteJenny, do you ever rest. I love that chocolate cake and the Colour of the Shabby Roses Mug Mats is just lovely. Did you do them all the same and are you doing a pattern up for them. I am coming along well with my first stichery and swap.

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny--there really is alot of this "secret" stuff going on around blog land--sure hope us bloggers can handle it all???? I smell chocolate, was it as good tasting as it looks--again I have to say--how do you do it all--you just can;t be sleeping much????? Smiles and hugs, just, Di
ReplyDeleteHmmmm,
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing a few "I've got a secret.." comments. I wonder if there's a connection.
Love your mug mats.
Hugs, Sharon (Stitches on Mars)
PS...remind us when your projects come out in the magazines...wouldn't want to misss them and its not like you can look inside (sorry pet hate of mine that)
Well, I would say you have been a very busy girl.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you are attaching the rick rack.
Great idea.
