The Quilt 'Bucket' List

Saw this in my blog trawling on Raccoon Creek Quilts and thought I could make one too...anyone else game??

  • Enter a quilt in a show.
  • Make all the quilts that are in my head (this one may take a while).
  • Try ‘cathedral windows’
  • Make a quilt from a pattern by one someone I know
  • Quilt using a long-arm machine.
  • Have a quilt published in a magazine (even if it is just in the ‘letters’ at the back!)
  • Take a Huston ‘quilt tour’ and buy LOTS of fabric while I’m there
  • Have a quilt on each bed in the house (and one on the wall if DH will let me!)



Of course this might not be the whole list...I reserve the right to add to it at any time!

Edited to add:

  • A cutting table at the 'right' heigh to save my back

That's a cool idea! I've at least added a somewhat of a project list to my sidebar to keep me a little more focused. Problem is, I keep adding stuff to it!!!

{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.
