10 oclock and all's well

I don't know when ten oclock started to feel late. I suspect it was around the time when 30 stopped sounding old.

'kay, so one day left in July and I have finished the quiltlet and might, if I push it tomorrow night, get the goal done on Magda. I'm not sure where the camera batteries went - I think they went into boyo's electronics set, so no pics tonight.

I need to see what kind of quality stills I can get from my webcam. When I have a few minutes to spare.

I wish my kids would put their socks in the wash, rather than leaving them under whatever piece of furniture they were sitting at when they took their shoes off.

Unusual definition of frequent

Okay, so twice in the holidays I tried to update. Once my computer crashed and once the internet broke.

So, here I am. July goals were not an incredible success.

I finished my ornaments.

Unfinished: Madga, Quiltlet.

Secret birthday something ended up being purchased because I found the totally most perfect gift for the birthday boy. Detective Conan patterns ended up being shleved because I was taking too long and the requester decided to do them herself. Cat ear fleece hat didn't happen because my sewing machine and I are not on particularly friendly terms.

But I did get a couple of things done:

A Biscornu pincushion for my mum.



CTC19 - Rainbow
The dragon fractal from the chapter headings of Jurassic Park.



Claddagh for a workmate's wedding



I still have four days left, so I'm hoping to get the quiltlet and Magda goals done. I'll keep you posted.

Shattered

Murphy was an evil bastard.

Can't find the camera so no pics, but I did finish the goal on Magda and the quiltlet. Yay me!

I wish it would stop raining.

I'm going to go watch pointless blood and gore, and finish stitching CTC17. k?

Progress Report

Ornaments done for the month. Lost count, so did 11 instead of 10.

Quiltlet done.

Haven't touched Magda.

Hit 100k on pattern site.

Pics later.

How is it almost the end of June already??

Sick.

With a cold. Or the flu. Or something that has turned me into a walking, moaning snot factory. Took a day off work on friday and I didn't even stitch anything - just slept. How rude is that??

Having said that, I managed to have a productive day yesterday, and the week wasn't so bad, so here goes:

Ornament 1: The Christmas star


The Other, Other Secret Birthday Something - Smokey the Cat


Ornament 2 (and 3 and 4) - Mittens


CTC12 - Insanity. King Lear vs the Fool.


CTC13 - Misfortune. A tukutuku pattern showing the story of roimata toroa - the tears of the albatross.


The pattern website will be pretty static till I get my shit together, which isn't looking likely any time soon.

I think that's all.
