My week
It has been a while since our last post and for the life of me I could not think of what to post about.....Are there any photos to share? Have I made anything new? Has anything exciting happened? I have been very unproductive and do not have much to share, but the past week has also been bliss!!!
I have visited here and bought some of this.....
I have turned a year older, been spoilt rotten and gone to this theatre show.
I have spent a great deal of time lying around with my flossies watching this Korean Drama. I am completely addicted to K-dramas - one of my small (OK big) weaknesses - Aigoo!!
I have spent a number of hours wishing I could buy, and dreaming about what I will design with this.
I have thought about binding this version of "Billie" which Rosie gave to me after I have coveted it for the last 6 months.....
Thoughts have not turned into actions however and all in all I have achieved nothing!!
I have had a heck of a lot of fun achieving it though! - Melly
Sometimes it's nice to relax and not have to be productive. In the scheme of things you seem to be very productive so having a week of down time is probably a good thing. You can relax, rejuvenate and get your creativity flowing again. By the way happy birthday!

Belated happy birthday Melly! Sometimes it’s great to enjoy doing nothing creative and enjoy the family life!

You call that a non -productive week.......? Thats pretty productive by my standards. My Birthday was this week too. Happy Birthday to you as well.

Happy Belated Birthday glad you have a great week.

Birthday wishes and bear hugs!! And it wasn't an unproductive week, it was 'creative contemplation'!! We all need these weeks from time to time to give our creative cauldrons time to simmer and brew up new magic - at least, that's MY excuse and I'm sticking with it! Tee! Hee! Hee! Bear Hugs!

Happy Birthday - sometimes relaxing, unproductive weeks are in reality as productive as really productive weeks (if that makes any sense at all!!!)
Glad you had fun!

Hi Melly! Happy belated birthday! Love your fabric selection and the quilt Rosie gave you a while ago is just so gorgeous - wish I had a sister! Nice to bump into you both again at the quilt shop - it's my favourite place to be that one!

Happy Birthday.
I am so in love with the quilt.
The colours are fantastic. Is "Billie" a Melly and Me pattern, a RQ one, or someone elses? I really love it!

Happy late Birthday!!!!! It sounds like you've really been enjoying yourself, and that's important :o). The fabric you bought is beautiful - you must be really excited to use it... and when you bind that quilt, it'll be phenomenal!!! Enjoy! xox

Looks like you have been up to something even though you haven't posted anything. That's ok, we can wait!
Love the colours in your Billie Quilt. WOW!
Now you can go back to your K-Dramas....

I saw Guys and Dolls in the 90's and would love to see it again. How was Kenny and Magda, I'm sure they were fantastic.
Love the Billie quilt, what amazing colours.
