Yes I know my blogs are intermittent but I am going to be the queen of blogging from now on - I promise.

At the moment quilting wise I am finishing a quilt that I started in July for my second cousin's baby. It is a crazy nine patch playmat and I foolishly decided to hand quilt a motif in the negative squares. Thankfully I have finished all 45 motifs. Most of them are different but I have multiple hearts and stars. It was a challenge for me to design the motifs because the squares are very small so the motifs had to be fairly simple. Tomorrow I will bind it and then it will be ready to be handed over when I see the baby's grandma in a few weeks. I will post a photo tomorrow when it is finished.

Apart from that I have been organising my diamond jubilee party. Well I thought if it is good enough for the queen it is good enough for me. I sent eh invitations out at the beginning of October and asked everyone to reply by today. Did they? Oh no they didn't. Now do I assume they are not coming, assume they are coming or try to contact them to find out what they are doing. For a few of them I can text, email or fb them. Others I would have to write to but having said that I am not sure that I even have the right postal address. What to do.....

Today we went birthday present shopping and then instead of watching the fireworks we went to the ice hockey. I enjoyed the game because it was tense and exciting with lots of goals. Unfortuantely there weren't enough goals for our team and they lost 7-5 :-(
