Heroic Effort

This weekend I finished the quiltlet and May's goal for the Magdalene.

No pics yet cos the camera batteries are flat and they're both too big for the scanner. Expect pics sometime this week.

Also managed to finish two pattern requests and start another of the ctcs. For the benefit of those who have recently joined us, CTC is the 100 themes challenge. Check out the ctc tag for the beginning of the saga. 

And finished the four felt ornaments this morning. Can't forget that. So, given that the threads for the Lorikeet have to wait until I am, shall we say, more financially secure, by my calculations, that makes all the May goals done and dusted. ***I rock!***

In other news, my baby is turning nine on Tuesday. I don't know who gave him permission to turn nine. I didn't get that memo.

Okay, that's everything.

CTC 5, 6, 7

Bit slow to post these, because real life trumped me several times this week.

I don't think any of these need any sort of elaborate explanation. Its funny, I really like #7, but it was #6 that got all the attention when I posted them on dA. Go fig.

CTC 5 - Seeking Solace


CTC 6 - Break Away


CTC 7 - Heaven


It is a week away from the end of the month and I am waaay behind on May's goals. I'm thinking I better get moving on them this weekend. I'll let you know how that works out :)

All the small things

Finished the secret birthday xs - yay me!

About 1/4 of the way through the may goal for the Magdalene.

Haven't so much as touched the ornaments

Might have to put off the draco bookmark because my pattern is a couple stitches too wide and if I mess iwth it too much its gonna look naff.

I think that's all.

CTC#2 - Love

Number two in the 100 themes challenge. A little emoticon from over on deviant Art. Hate hearts. But Ihave to admit, this little guy is cute.
