Wet Wet Wet

We had our second wet day in a row today....and it looks likte a few more to come...Hope I can keep the kids busy and out of each others way.

On to more exciting things...I think I found my new quilt project...I'm going to try and make a 'stack and slash' quilt for my sister....I have been hording 'music' material for a while and I think I found the right project for it...I don't like the borders on this one (I've cut most of them out in the photo) but it gives you enough material to make more blocks than you need for the quilt shown...I don't want it too big ..more like a lap quilt...I also think I'm going to stick to more black/grey/white colours than the ones shown here...I like the fact it will 'show off' the fabric a bit.....hhmmmmm time to convince Hubby that I don't have that many projects on the go and I can start one more!!

Just for interests sake and to show DH it is not just me....Helen how many quilt projects to do have on the go???

AJ! I have done one stack and whack quilt. In my 2006 overview, it was the big green/red/yellow one. Lots of fun! How big are you thinking of making your blocks? projects on the go here,patchwork or other sewing stuff? LOL Quilt wise, just two but I am going to draw up a pattern tonight for my next friend's bubby due in March. But to convince your DH AJ, lets say 3 quilting and 4 sewing (library bag, dress and top for DD's and a cushion!) :) Get sewing girl!!

{3rd Birthday} Octonauts party

Image
It has been a week two weeks since Aden's Octonauts party and I think I have recovered enough to post about it. Special thanks to my sister for gabbing my camera and my MIL and SIL for their cameras, as I didn't take any all day! Aden is a massive Octonauts fan! So when he didn't go for my initial plan of a 'Monsters' Party ( too scary Mummy!) we decided on Octonauts. I did a lot of Internet searching and looking at a lot of Pintrest posts to gather all my ideas together.  There was lots of party food including Octonaut Cupcakes. Cake toppers from Ebay  And a Kwazii cake as requested by the birthday boy! I totally forgot to put on the Octopus I had for his hat!! We also had yellow/green/blue jelly cups with turtles in them and smarties cookies. As well as regular party food and hot finger food for the adults. Mummy wiping Aden's face before having cake photos! We had balloons, a birthday banner and streamers.
