Today was a lovely morning and I managed to waste most of it parked on the sofa in my PJs! My excuse is that we had a hospital appointment at 11:30 so there was no point getting up too early or doing very much - so I didn't! I did manage to pop outside (once dressed!) and take some photos of a few things I've been sorting this week. I've made a start on tidying my craft room and got rid of some wool (via freecycle) to a nice lady who knits hats and blankets for the local hospital neonatal unit, and a big bag of fabric bits and bobs that I no longer wanted. Still more tidying and organising to do before craft room becomes a nursery and only 4 weeks till my due date (EEEEEK!).

I've even been organising some of my button collection (there is A LOT more than this!) and some sequins for making smiley sardines! Yesterday I managed to whip up another 7 bibs and forgot to take them outside to be photographed.....DOH! In the evening I decided it was about time I tried out my walking foot as I'd found the patchwork quilt-top-thingy I made about a million years ago and the wadding I bought. I'm always full of good intentions and then just ever get around to finishing things. This was originally intended as a blanket for our niece when she was born......She's over 2 years old now!!!! So, instead it is now going to become either a pram blanket OR portable play mat/bag-type-thing for our baby. I've not quite decided which one yet! Maybe it'll be finished in another million years?!

I didn't do anything exciting to it, I've just sewn around the patches (on J's suggestion) to make it look a little pooffy. This whole venturing into the world of quilts is quite new too me, but don't worry, I shan't be inflicting these on anyone in the real world - just our poor baby and the cats!
