    Good about the dress Mooloo xx

    Florence - I love the hair on your dolls, its lovely and the dolls are gorgeous xx

    I finally picked up my quilting again yesterday, managed to get quite a bit more done, been too hot lately to do any of it. Havent been able to get up in my sewing room for a while either as OH been on nights again and have been too tired to do it after he has gone to work so looking forward to getting on with some more bits later in the week when he is back on days again.

    Tamster - I have a lot of blue fabrics that I was thinking about using for another quilt. Might have a look for the Moda pattern and see if I have enough to do one with it.
    rufusd!!!2 -Had a look at your makes in the Folksy shop........lovely work!

    Now I am dreading the school holidays as I am going to get less time to sew! when I was hoping to have had DGD in nursery placement through out the time, my funding is not organised enough, and I am not able to put her in for more then the special occasion.

    I may have a go at that incubator cover, if I can. but obviously I do need to make some funds pretty fast.
    I have a few aprons ready to sew now, and I also have a few towels with thier lace ready to sew.

    Right I am going to go and collect DGD from Nursery. Hope to get the lawn (if you can call it that) cut, and then be free to sew/or sort stuff out for sewing tomorrow.
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.
