Quilting, Holidays, PAD & More!

Sorry for the lack in posts, but these past few weeks I have caught a bug... the quilting bug! I am so absolutely addicted that I've been pushing scrapping to the side to play with fabrics (but only temporary... I hope). I showed you a sneak peek in my last post of the quilt I'm making for my baby nephew, which is coming along nicely. I signed up for a beginner class at a cute little quilting shop in town (Peppermint Stitches) and have loved every minute!!! There's 2 weeks between each lesson - to give us enough time to finish our 'homework' - but I'm loving it so much I usually have it done by the next day.

I've also been on school holidays for the past couple of weeks, which has been just lovely. I must admit that I'm missing my students, but it has been great spending time at home and relaxing. Sleep-ins have been a delightful treat! I forgot what it was like to wake up to the sound of the birds and not screaming teenage girls, haha. The weekend before term ended I very cleverly managed to break my toe at work... word of warning: stop walking when looking backwards talking to a student - otherwise you will not win the fight with a stationary couch!

But enough about my happenings. I'm sure you'd love to see my next installment of PAD pics, right?! Well here they are, enjoy!

My car keys

March 17th

Popped into mum at work to have lunch with her... another addiction of mine!

March 18th

I took a bunch of students to a football game. Up until that day I had never been to a football game (with the exception of a mate's local footy game at the school sports field). I was surprised by how much I enjoyed myself and even found myself cheering for the team... however the players did make it a little easier to bear - buff boys in tight shorts, yummy!

The quilt coming along

March 21st

Each time I go to the UK I shop a little too much and have to post stuff back to myself. I was so excited to have this waiting for me at the top of the drive! It was like Christmas ☺

March 22nd

Flowers I bought for mum to get well soon.

March 24th

After breaking my left little toe, I managed to stub my big right toe... let's just say I had a bad 72hrs when it came to my toes.

Drinkies!

April 2nd

This is the sign on my bathroom door at home. Mum bought it for me when I was a kid and it's always bugged me that I put it up crooked - not that you can tell in this pic.

April 3rd

One of the things on my to-do list these holidays was to sort out my wardrobe. So I emptied out all my clothes onto my bedroom floor... they stayed there for the past 3 days until I finally had the energy to sort through. Would just like to say that I managed to fill 4 rubbish bags full of clothes for St. Vinnies - go me!

April 4th

My faithful sewing machine. Mum bought me this 11yrs ago when I started high school and it still the bomb!

April 6th

My scrap/craft table as it is tonight.

Hope your life is currently full of love and happiness.

See you soon,
