Progress...

Lots of progress this week...
Me progress...I'm feeling a whole lot better. I've healed nicely and only have some lovely purple bruises to show for the operation.
I even went to work a few days this week. I felt good, but tired by the end of the day. Many people seem to have horror stories about the type of operation so I'm truly grateful that I wasn't sick longer...


Age progress...Ms Bookworm turned 18 through the week. Very fitting cake made by Minky - love that these sisters all get on so well...

Sewing progress... a tablerunner for the school's end of year raffle...

a very cute little  fellow (pattern from Clares Craftroom) who will be going to Softies for Mirabel

and my second block for the Bloggers BOM

Laundry progress...all the floor tiling is done, the exterior cladding on and the windows are in.

the basin and shower taps are done. Still waiting on the shower screen and toilet...

the washing machine and dryer are in (temporarily because the builder will be back today

to do the cornices and architraves)

The fans, lights, cupboards, counter top and sink still have to go in and the electricals tidied up...but a huge difference to what I had before...

...I'm already enjoying putting on loads of washing...do you think I may still be feeling the effects of the anaesthetic?

thanks for taking a peek over the fence...

Clare isn't feeling well.

Here is something to cheer her up.

One of her 'babies' dressed and ready to go to Softies for Mirabel.

You might like to cheer her up by heading over to say hello.

A Promise - Blogtoberfest 2010 - Day 8

This year I am absolutely definitely sending something off to Meet Me At Mikes for the Mirabel Foundation - and if I announce it here - then I'm bound to keep my promise.
All the information you need about Softies for Mirabel is here.


My Giveaway:
Do you know anyone can enter my giveaway - it finishes on October 15 and is part of the Fall into Fall Quilt Bloggers giveaways.  There are nearly 150 blogs that have giveaways and if you go to the link, they are listed in the righthand column of that site.


It's been a little bit busier than I expected! I am trying to make sure I say hello to all the commenters - though I've noticed on some blogs that the authors say they won't for their sanity - now I know what they mean - I've never had so many visits to my blog before...
There are lots of blogs to go to -and some fantastic giveaways.


Now the housework is done, the blog has been seen to...I'm off to do some more quilting on the jeans quilt before the dinner rush.
