week 20: hard to focus

i have always loved things in miniature. which may explain why my daughter also loves playing with the tiniest people, houses and animals she can find. this week, i found some of my miniature quilts. mostly unfinished. so i started on getting them ready to hang or frame.

the first one had a few blocks done already...the square in a square so I just made some more blocks, added a border and Ta Da!

next, was the pineapple block...found the tiny pieces of fabric i was using, and the pattern....

and TA DA!

then, had to do some mommy duty, made ella a recorder bag...

...covered some books and even had time for some hooky:

as well as cups of tea and my auntys famous shortbread...

watched by peeka...

and waited for by Lily....

and that, in a nutshell, was week 20!

the challenge so far

a revamp is needed

well, i thought i'd lost this blog in cyber space but with a few searches have found it again! i have for the past 19 weeks, been creating one (sometimes more) new article a week. This is my challenge - create something, each week, for a year. AND at least once a month, finish one of the huge number of UFO's i have stored. so follow my new creative journey with me. i hope it inspires you to get crafty.
