{six} Starburst

I keep coming back to this 'Lone Starburst' block on Pintrest....over and over and over again. So while I was bouncing from one project to another yesterday I started one!

Following the links from pintrest leads you to Fresh Lemons. A beauitful blog full of eye candy of the quilty variety.

The link specifically talks about her Travelling Quilt a version of a Round Robin quilt but requiring each person to secretly add anything to the quilt based on a theme decided on by the few blocks that start off the quilt.

Faith made star blocks, one of which was the 'Lone Startburst' that I keep seeing pop up on Pintrest. She directs you to the paper pieced pattern that she used on the Six White Horses blog. Another beautiful blog full of eye candy!

Here is what I've got so far....in pretty pinks....I'm thinking that this would make a good Doll quilt for a swap I'm in or.....my quilty giveaway at the end of the month!

I've finished half the block with only a little unpicking....and I remembered why I don't like paper piecing.....but it is looking good so far!

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.

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. ...
