Well, I did finish the quilt - and I didn't need to buy anything. I think that's a first!

So I've nearly finished a skirt. I have found another two that need hemming.

I've just spent an hour tidying my fabric drawer and bits of
My craft room. I still have loads to do but I'm impressed I've managed any. Haha. I still haven't hung the picture or finished the shelves.

That quilt is lovely.

I've finally had a refund for the fabric that never arrived. Yay.

I've sorted my craft room. In the process I have thrown away a bag of rubbish - dried up paints and junk.

I've had the picture hung. My partner did it for me. I'm still counting it as a win though. Haha.

I've used up two travellers notebook inserts. I need to come up with a picture idea for the craft room as the one that has been hung has been redirected.

Over the next week I am aiming to make one picture to hang. And am hoping - weather permitting to sand the shelves.

I've finished a cat toy too.

My total is up to 63/500. Slow progress but progress non the less.

Ok. So I have made a button picture. The idea came from Pinterest. I don't feel too bad because it's for me not profit.

I've used half a jar of buttons in a heart shape. Al the colours of the rainbow graduated up on the canvas. Kind of fun and easy. I still need to hang it. But I'm waiting until it's very dry before I hang it.

That's fab about the refund, nimbo. My goodness you've been really busy. I've done nothing this weekend. No excuse, just vegetated.

Love your hearts 4 Manchester and all your other photo makes greentiger, nimbo glad you got a refund on the fabric and your heart picture sounds lovely.

Made more hearts this time for London I also swapped a few handmade hearts with other crafters so they are neutral really as something replaced them.
Hope everyone is ok I'm really busy at ths mo so struggling to fit everything I want to do in.

And now for something completely different ...

It's Civic Week in nearby town and our village Bowling Club hosts a tournament for primary school kids. Here's my contribution of cakes.
