Being a little bit lazy!

Yes, I feel like I am being a little bit lazy at the moment.  I have been doing a bit of work here and there but I have mostly been feeling so relaxed and lazy this week enjoying the school holidays much too much! It is amazing how much more time there is in a day when you don't have to drive to school and kinder twice a day each at different times not to mention extra-curricular commitments as well.  I am loving doing my morning emailing in my PJs and not getting dressed until much later than usual.  It is easy to do in this winter cold.

I did finish this new little friend this week but alas, I cannot show you him in full!!  He is heading to the US to be part of a bird themed book..... more news to follow in the future I am sure.

I also started on a new scrappy project!  Some of you may remember this beautiful Scrappy Cabin quilt that I finally finished last year made out of all of my scraps...

Well I love this quilt sooooo much that I decided that I had to start a new scrappy quilt!!  Inspired by Rosie's new fabric that will be arriving soon (can't wait!!) "Grandmother's Flower Garden", I have decided to make a Scrappy Flower Garden quilt!  This quilt will be my first fully hand sewn and quilted quilt and I am already enjoying it so much!!  I wonder if this quilt will take me as long as my Scrappy Cabin did!

I want to start on my next two flowers now!!  So see you later, off to relax some more with some hand sewing and a movie.

Sneak peak looks very interesting...how long will we have to wait to see the book?
I did a large grandmothers garden 17 years ago, still not finished..so that of course gives me a PhD in the subject (project half done) I have many many PhD's much better than UFO's lol..
