A busy few days.

It's been a busy few days, with one thing and another.

My DIL spent the morning with me on Wednesday and raided my stash.

I think she likes purple. LOL

She cut some 2 inch hexies  and glue basted them, then just had time to sew one edge together before she had to dash off and collect Mr Torstein from day care.

The very next day she sent this image.

I think she may be hooked.

While Lee was cutting her purples and butterflies I was playing with my batik scraps. I was basting them on to 3/4 inch hexi papers.

All of these pieces were too small for a 1 inch hexie but still a little too big to throw away.

There are lots more in the tin now.

I'm not sure when I will get around to sewing them together.  I'm sure they will wait patiently.

Thursday Tony and I went to a funeral and spent time with the bereaved family later.

Friday Tony and I had a day out in the big city.

Christchurch is about a two hour drive away. We had a list of places to visit and I spent some money.

I found these lovelies in the place with the big red spot.

I also bought a roll of batting, but I don't think you need to see that. 

This pretty batik bundle was also from spotty and the spotty blue fat quarter as you can see was from another store. It's the first time I have visited Sew and Co. 

We also stopped at one more sewing store where I purchased some quilting thread. No matter what I try I just can't get a good photo, so you don't get to see it either.

For those who know, it is a cone of fantastico. that special pearly, pinky, bluey, white shade. LOL

This morning I did my first early shift at work in my new role.

It went well.

I have another tomorrow. 

When I got home I went straight in to the kitchen and made peach and chilli jam.

Of course all of that means I didn't even make a start on my commitments for the month, and we are almost a week in.

Maybe tomorrow.
