Finally reaching out for some help...

I shall be taking a photo of my stall then posting it onto my blog (which I need to setup). I haven't done any of my quilt in over a week so I'm going to do some of that after watching super size vs super skinny. Then I'm going to try to make a bookmark or gadget sleeve, I haven't decided yet as depends what fabric is required for the sleeve.

I've just worked out that I'm about £300 away from my next target of having £2k left to pay how exciting is that!!! I know that as soon as that first digit turns to a 1 then I'll start getting super excited and really drive forwards with my debt freedom.

I've not spoken to the OH yet, but I have sent him a long essay detailing the pros and cons of the different options including various different universities, going straight into a job after uni, and going to Canada. I think that's all I can do now, I've given him all the information I've found out and it's for him to research himself and look into his options. I'm going to clear off my debts and start saving so I can provide the £7.5k he'd need for Cardiff as that's his best option if he chose it.

Ooh and I'm quite flattered that I've been inspiring people to get creative, I've never seen myself as inspirational before. But to all those that are now getting arty, farty go you it's fab and I love, love, love it! Even if I get it wrong the first, second, third time I'll get it right eventually

The Quilt is looking fab Kerri. I am still hunting for that article I mentioned earlier in the week. Its really bugging me now as I only read about it last weekend !

The Courses you have found that may suit your OH sound interesting, I really do hope that between you both , you can come to an agreement that suits you both and makes you both happy. I'm sure you will get it sorted in the end.

Happy Sewing, you seem to have inspired lots of people. As for me, you have inspired me to inspire my DD1 who has a flair for such things ! I keep telling her that she could try selling a few bits she has made and earn herself some extra pocket money !

Ok, I was on a mission to find out the name of this blasted sewing cafe and eventually found the article late last night.:j

It is called SewOver It ! Great name I thought ! The article was in Grz£a Magazine last week. There is a website which I have been having a read of this morning. The Cafe itself is in Clapham, I am unsure where abouts you are though, so it may not be particularly close.

To be honest it may be of no interest to you whatsoever, as it doesnt sound to me like you really need to do any courses particularly, but it does seem like somewhere you could meet some new like minded friends for a coffee and a slice of cake.

How has your weekend been ? x

Ooh thank you Mrs P, that's S.London and I'm North but it might be worth a peek I'm down at the parents at the moment as they turned our gas off yesterday as we've got a gas leak in our flats grrr. They won't be fixing it until at least Tuesday which is ridiculous, so I've run off to my parents where they have hot water and central heating. I'm on training in the Reading office Monday - Thursday and it's about the same travel time from either London or Bournemouth to there, so thought I may as well

I'm now cutting the red fabric for my quilt exciting!!!

Hi Kerri, one of my wishes for the next year, well probably next decade, is to do a quilt, partly using material from much loved family clothes. Your lovely photo should inspire me..oh well back to the crotchet!!

Perhaps i could start on a single one for one of the kids first i still have ready cut sqaures of laura ashley fabric that i bought last year to try and make one and never got round to it! ....hmm maybe i could start small and do a cushion cover with them...you got me thinking now and my poor sewing machine has been sat in the cupboard for a year longing to be used xx
