This weekend I....


....ate lots of sweet and juicy nectarines...


...tidied my desk...



...stitched lace to lemon...


...realised how talented Blossom is to take such creative self photos with her camera...


...started a new book and Bible study...


...sketched the final 'Seasons of Redwork' mini quilt stitchery and traced it to fabric...


...prepared the next two blocks of my free Shabby Roses Home BOM in time for tomorrow's pattern release...


 ...and bought myself a new iron for the sewing room. 


What did you do?

hugs

Phew!! You're making me feel tired - and I didn't even get a 1/4 of the amount of stuff done as you obviously did!! Wishing I had even a touch of your stamina, lol!! ... Loving all the new designs - thanks for the sneaky peeks!! And I gotta ask ... are you doing the study by yourself, or with others? It looks like it would be a good book, from all accounts :) ... Wishing you an enjoyably productive week ahead! Hugs xx

You had a great day! Me too....my birthday - pressies this morning, homeschool sports at the park - afternoon tea with friends - more pressies - out to the beach with other friends for fish and chip and boules, and paddling in the water. Will get some sewing in tomorrow. Karen

Just doing it by myself, Larissa. It's excellent!

Wow! Wish I had as much fun as you did in getting things accomplished this past weekend! I had the tiresome job of getting some rental property ready for new tenant. The place was left in a real mess! So, I scrubbed out the oven, cleaned the stove and counters, wiped out eleven upper and lower cabinets, cleaned off hand marks from all cabinet doors inside and out, scrubbed the tub, lavatory, and sink. Removed all curtains from the two-bedroom house and washed/dryed/and re-hung them. Swept, vaccuumed, and mopped a living room, dining room, kitchen, bath, and two bedrooms. Then I went home got a shower...and took a nap!
Hugs,
Kathy

Today I worked on my son's girlfriends Hello Kitty Quilt. Nothing fancy - just something fun. I'm also doing a bible study but from Good Morning Girls (on your advice!) about Thanksgiving and am really enjoyng it.

Du hast ja nur schöne Dinge gemacht. Toll ich freue mich schon auf morgen. Bei mir war feiern angesagt, mein Mann hatte 60. Geburtstag und unsere Tochter war aus Berlin eingeflogen, es war eine schöne und ausgefüllte Woche und auch Wochenende.
Liebe Grüße Annerose

Sounds like you had a great weekend. We had things planned, but severe weather got in the way. Nearby towns have been devastated by tornadoes and we have several friends that have lost everything and some that we still haven't heard from. It's heartbreaking!

How do you get so much done, do you sleep? The bible study sounds great. I love your desk organizer.

Tammy said...

I got lots done too. I worked on hand embroidery for couple of hours, took daughter and husband shopping, went to Starbucks coffee so yummy. We celebrated my birthday. Hubby took me outon a special date to a super fancy restaurant to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary which is tomorrow. And grocery shopping and chauffeured my daughter and her friends and got my jeep taken into dealer for repair work. Busy busy...

Helen said...

Amazing how much you achieve, inner happiness does wonders, thank you for all your beautiful words of love etc and gorgeous work :-)

Jenny of Elefantz said...

Well you sure deserved that nap, Kathy!

Jenny of Elefantz said...

They are wonderful studies from the GMGs. I just finished the Thanksgiving one and last year's Advent study - so pleased they are all online to do at will. \o/

Jenny of Elefantz said...

Enjoy your day of celebration, Annerose! xx

Jenny of Elefantz said...

I saw on the news here in Australia...so very sad. Thank God you are ok. xx

Jenny of Elefantz said...

I do enjoy my sleep, which runs from 11pm - 5.30am...then the best part of my day begins. Time with Jesus. Just Him and me! \o/

Jenny of Elefantz said...

As long as Jesus is the anchor, I can be assured I won't stray too far with unnecessary things, Suz.

Jenny of Elefantz said...

A double celebration, Tammy! Happy birthday AND happy anniversary! \o/

Jenny of Elefantz said...

His peace that surpasses all understanding gives me that inner happiness...even when my life resembles a storm, Helen. xx

Sara said...

That looks to be a promising bible study:)

The Shabby Roses Home BOM is quite lovely!

Hi Jenny, You are truly an inspiration, I learn a lot from you and finally am trying to do it in action. Thank you for the lovely posts you put up often on your blog. Its like I think about how you do everything and next day there is post with regards to my thoughts. Its strange at the same time feel great to get the answers to the questions in my thoughts. Thank you.

God is good, Preeta...even in the things we don't realise He is answering. xx
