ONE!!

I did it! I finally found time to sew. At the weekend I pulled out a Butterfly Fling Jelly Roll and did a little cutting, after I had pulled out the blue strips that is.

I played around and matched up a bunch of pieces,
And yesterday I made up some blocks.
I have a whole bunch more blocks to make and hope to get time later today.

Just in case you hadn't guessed I have only one day left before we leave for our wedding in New Zealand. So todays image is one lonely but beautiful Whale Tale.
Tonight my Hunney and I will stay awake all night long. We'll pass some of the time by packing our cases and early tomorrow morning we begin our long journey.

Our itinerary over the next couple of days looks like this.

• Isle of Man to Manchester. 35 mins. Saturday Morning
• 11 hours on the ground, We're booked into a hotel and hope to sleep.
• Manchester to Dubai. 7 hours
• 3 hours on the ground
• Dubai to Sydney 14 hours.
• 3 hours on the ground
• Sydney to Christchurch. 3 hours. Monday afternoon.

It looks like 3 days, but when you take into account all the time zones we will cross it's really only just over 30 hours.

1) Blogger finally let me in! Although it is messing with my formatting!!

2) It's nearly time to go.

3) A day out with family and friends.

One final piece of homework.

Well I took my exam yesterday and have only one essay left to write. It looks easy enough and they are expecting only a short piece, so hopefully I'll get that done today.We were told yesterday by the course facilitator, that we have all passed, without even taking into account the marks for the exam or the final essay, we have all accrued enough points already to have gained the qualification! Whoopee!

Meanwhile today you have this image. I thought it appropriate in the circumstances!

Because I'm allergic to gold, we have silver wedding rings and we'll be leaving in two days! Mustn't get too excited yet, just the small matter of one essay and one final shift at work. If I have time, I plan to sew a little today too. Maybe I'll have a quilty picture for you tomorrow. Speaking of tomorrow I'm off out with a girlfriend, we'll do lunch and a little girly shopping, it's been an age since I did that, I'm really looking forward to it.

1) All exams are done!

2) Homework will be over and done, today!

3) A girly day out.

Edited to say........

The homework is all done, it took less than an hour. Time to play!

The Red Eye Flight.

I'm off to Warrington for my exam today and to collect my final slab of homework. So that will be almost the end of that. I'll try to get the homework completed before we leave, not much time though.....

Only Three Days!

You know I am remarkably calm, but always in the back of my mind there is / was todays exam, I think once that is out of the way I'll let go and start to get a bit more excited. I can feel that kid at Christmas feeling bubbling away under the exam nerves.

AnnieO asked if I'll be blogging from the bottom of the world? Yes, I'll have internet access, so it won't be as often, but I will be blogging.

*

Allie asked if I'm all packed yet? Nope, the suitcases are still in storage. I think it's that exam thing again. Hunney had his exam yesterday and still has three days of work to do. We'll be awake all night on Friday, plenty of time to pack. I have started to gather little piles of goodies here and there though.
