Hooray for Thursdays – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/hooray-for-thursdays

July 30, 2015. July 30, 2015. It’s probably qualifies as a new did group! It’s really due to be replaced as it was only bought as a temporary measure by the lady who rented here before we moved in. … and we’ve been here 10 years now too… but there is no point replacing it until the boys are a bit older and there is less debris. Anyway I’m feeling much happier now it’s cleaner. And no, there is no chance a baby will appear this time… but its a great excuse. And now time for a cup of tea🙂. You are comment...

If at first you don’t succeed – cheat – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/05/04/if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-cheat

If at first you don’t succeed cheat. May 4, 2015. I had an excellent idea…. I have always admired Project Linus. My first attempt: This was cutting the correct shapes and then sewing them together… except my brain could NOT cope with the triangles! It took 3 attempts to manage to cut a pair right! Following that i then struggled to cut the sky on the same angle and the first time i tried i didn’t have enough fabric in the right place! So i left it for a couple of weeks. And i added it to my May goals.

I’m not counting! – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/06/07/im-not-counting

I’m not counting! June 7, 2015. Anyway it was bliss – I always go a little haywire with all the lovely tempting fabric around. This year I went with a shopping list of two things. Secondly I was looking for Christmas fabrics. I wish to make a Christmas table topper and I haven’t previously been interested in Christmas fabrics so this is to start my stash in this direction. On the other hand I’m still considering my design options! I’m thinking that a tree design in applique would be good🙂. Enter your em...

Time flies – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/time-flies

June 26, 2015. Phew i don’t know where the time has gone. Life just plods on as usual nothing particularly exciting to report. Just the usual work/home routine. I’ve done some sewing in the evenings, but not as much as before mainly because my eldest has been refusing to go to bed on time so there is usually an hour of battle with him and then it’s about my bedtime! I have now made 10 large blocks. 8230;and 22 small haystack blocks. I’m not counting! Hot hot hot and sad. 4 thoughts on “ Time flies. Thank...

School holidays – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/08/14/school-holidays

August 14, 2015. We are still in the midst of school holidays here. And today is the last morning of the lads going to the childminder as she is on holiday for the next 3 weeks too. So chaos is about to reign here. I’m doing less and less sewing as the boys are needing so much entertainment. Roll on 3 weeks time when the school reopens. Secondly I’m crocheting some 12″ granny squares which are very helpful for doing whilst sitting and waiting for my eldest to finish his swimming lesson. Long Time No Blog!

May month round-up – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/05/31/may-month-round-up

May 31, 2015. Gosh what a month. We had three weeks of Chicken Pox! First my eldest got it, then after 10 days the youngest came down with it too. So i’ve spent the month trying to cover childcare for poorly kids as i needed to be at work. Having said that i’ve still been busy sewing as its my way to relax on an evening… and i’ve needed it more than ever this month! I set myself some targets. Charity quilt blocks x3. Stonefields BOM part 2. Erm…. i think my total was actually 8 blocks, but i ha...I must ...

August 2015 – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/08

August 25, 2015. My youngest is now toddling. Nothing is safe here. . he seams to be able to access all areas. His newest trick is copying his older brother and climbing across the furniture. He’s only just turned one and is mountaineering over the sofa and chair already! So my relaxing time is almost exclusively crochet at the moment. This is because its easy to pick up with no needing to prepare stuff and also it’s a tad safer for toddlers as there are no sharp pins and needles kicking about . I think ...

Going going gone – the creative heifer

https://thecreativeheifer.wordpress.com/2015/07/15/going-going-gone

July 15, 2015. That’s it. I’ve finished work permanently. Look at the wonderful leaving gift my colleagues gave me. A wonderful array of quilting goodies. I’m really looking forward to playing with them. But the first thing on my list of things to do was a visit to my parents. As they are over 2 hrs drive away I don’t get to see them as much as I wish. Ironically now that I’m not earning I will have the time but the cost of fuel becomes more of an issue! Hot hot hot and sad. July 16, 2015 at 12:58 am.
