Over the holiday period (well, he's on holidays anyway), maelkann and I decided to see if we still really liked each other if we hung out more than a couple of times a week. I think our friendship stood the test of distance when he was at sea for 5 months in 2009 - after all, it was when he came home that we decided to take our relationship to the next ( Read more... )

Quilt 6: Quilting Circle 2 Quilt
(not the most imaginative of names. I had in mind for it, and these were sort of the instructions, to be a French seaside vaudeville/art deco style. Not sure what the quilt will be named though).

I'm going to keep logging my quilting projects. I only have a few more to go. I've found the act of pulling each one out, photographing it and then taking stock of what is done and what is to be done really really useful ( Read more... )

I better like it, A and I are the only ones in the office till Jan 4 and we have to work all the non public holidays.

I have new years resolutions and year to do lists on my mind. Closer to the end of the month I'll maybe sit and reflect back on what I did this year - it was kind of a big year so there's probably stuff to say about it. But today I sat down and had a go at writing up some goals.

I made a list of my quilts in progress. I'm still trying to figure out ( Read more... )

I had a funny day today. It was one of those highly productive ones due to the hard work of days earlier. I had a deadline which I'd worked steadily towards during the week. I'd emailed my workmate the piece last night so came in to her two, minor corrections, fixed those, reedited it and then sent it to my boss. He had no issues with it and signed ( Read more... )
