...when I went shopping I spent some time talking to a friend of mine, during the conversation she told me how she cleans her WHOLE house EVERY day!!! Now I fully admit to being ...one of those ... who HATES housework, and I rush through it so that I can do other things .... but EVERY DAY!! she needs a hobby! Made me want to sew EVEN MORE than usual xx
I finished off the baby quilt...( waited for the rain to stop so that I could photograph it out side!! I gave up and took the picture INSIDE xx)
just simple zig-zag quilting along the lines of the pattern..
It can go across the banister to await the next request xx
I also started a new project, I was asked if it is possible to make a bumper for a cot... you know that goes around and ... SUPPOSEDLY ... stops the baby banging its head, and, keeping out drafts xx
Will show you tomorrow how I get on.... I call it designing... really I am playing with fabric lol xx
I noticed to day that quite a few of the "thank you" notes I have received recently are PINK... what IS going on around here ? lol x
Keep smiling
Diane xx

I don't like to clean either! I'd rather sew. Love your websight!
I wonder what she means by clean? I would think it is a physical impossibility to"clean" the whole house everyday unless she lives in a cupboard or doll's house.
Sew on!
I am not sure about cot 'bumpers' When I had my children we were advised quite strongly against them- the thinking was that if they were tied, baby could wind fingers in/ strangle themselves, or anyway press their little faces in and suffocate!
Not convinced about either of those, but it stopped me using one!
When Blair was little I did lots of sewing courses and sewed lots of things, my clothes, some of Blair's and home items etc. Many people were flabbergasted when they asked me how I found time to sew with a small child (I was also a single parent) because I told them I left the washing up until the next day or left other things until I had finished what I was making. As I was a mother who worked oputside the house to earn a living for us both, the only time I had to myself was in the evenings after Blair had gone to bed so I sewed my heart out and washed up in the morning. I felt a lot better for it done this way as I have alwawys found such satisfaction in sewing and crafts.
I can't wait until we have moved into the new house & I can get all my fabrics and wools together and get going.
I think you have the answer to this ladies problem really...she cleans the HOUSE not the HOME.
Clean every day - the mind boggles - apart from hygeine issues there is not much cleaning goes on round my house. Much more fun to be had doing just about anything! xx
Cute baby quilt! And as someone who loves pink, I've gotten a chuckle out of your post about noticing pink:).
I like to be able to see the difference after I've done the housework, so it gets done only when it really needs doing. I remember my mother-in-law agreeing with me when my first child was born, though my own mother didn't, when I said that there were far more important things to do, like playing with the baby or cooking something tasty, or just having a rest.
Whole house everyday, nonsense! Way to busy making dust in my sewing room. I give it a quick run through and save it for another day.
The baby cute really turned out adorable. And I so know how work cramps ones style. I'd much rather be home sewing too.
