A little random

 I have a few things to mention so I thought I’d pile them all into one blog post and link up with Really Random Thursday at Cindy’s place. Why not! Oh yeah it’s Friday here. Well there’s your first bit of random. Aren’t the time differences weird?

* Moving on. Update – my sister received her “Faith” canvas the other day.



She loved it (yay!) and was also very touched by the messages people left for her on the blog post about her helicopter adventures (or misadventure!). Thank you lovely quilty friends! Here’s a message from my sister about it:

Wow. I am 'the sister'. Am I amazing? not sure about that.. but I do know I am amazingly blessed to have a sister like mine. I am also immensely proud of her for her creativity, sensitivity and thoughfulness in all her works. I can see that everyone on this post has good taste and also admires her work. I am also blown away by the kind words and support from everyone who commented on this blog. Thank you, it really does mean a lot to me. I LOVE my canvas and it is so fitting considering recent events. I do have faith and it's what keeps me going, but I certainly need to be reminded of it, so having this on my wall and seeing it daily is a great reminder (plus very pretty to look at).
Thank you - to my beautiful sister for loving me and being so encouraging, and Thank you to everyone who posted on this blog x 

Thanks lovely people who commented or sent a message for my sister. It’s so appreciated, from both her and me!

* My son wanted to take his pyjamas in for show and tell at school today today (well they are Star Wars Darth Vader pjs!). I talked him into taking a Star Wars Lego book instead.

* I love Lindt chocolate Easter bunnies. Even though I shouldn't have dairy. They call to me

* My sister arrives back in Oz today and we’ll see her tomorrow. Can’t wait!!! A whole bunch of other family (all the inlaws and outlaws) are also arriving for Nan’s big 90th party tomorrow. It’s going to be crazy but also fun!

* Onto the next bit of related randomness. I have cured my Nan of leprosy. Okay she didn’t really have leprosy – she just looked like it due to my bad ironing.
 

I unpicked the quilt, removed the leprous square and replaced it with a nice fresh new one. Disaster adverted and no one will be the wiser. Well except for you good people and you won’t tell will you?


* I mean I really love Lindt chocolate Easter bunnies. Take them away already.


* I have been working on some new patterns. Still a bit retro but not sew retro



This is going to be Lara’s block for Wombat Stew. It’s Fiona’s month and her theme is Mid Century Modern – mostly furniture but of course you need a house to put the furniture in.

* Lindt chocolate Easter bunnies mmmmm. Even FB is on the conspiracy showing me ads for them. I swear I haven't been posting or talking about them on FB. The chocolate world is against me!

* I just signed up for Instagram. I don’t really know what I’m doing but it looks like fun. Come play with me. I’m “quietplay” on there. If I knew how to link I would. But I don’t. So I won’t.

* And some more patterns. These ones are Sew Retro 2. Coming soon.



* I need to clean my house before the big party. I don’t want to. I want to sew instead.

That’s enough random. Now I have to go be very unrandom and help out in my son’s classroom. Maybe I’ll get to use the “into-traffic” whiteboard again (also known as the interactive whiteboard to people other than my son).
