Time seems to be dragging a little, but we are filling our days well. We have been hopping around some of our favourite spots so that we have lots of cherished memories to take with us. The home that we have known for 21 years is not recognizable anymore taking on the look of a warehouse. Our home has become a house making the transition so much easier, we have taken the time to cut emotional ties. Time will tell if that is true or not. We are reading a lot, it so nice to be able to sit with a book and I am crafting. Moving home is not for the faint hearted I can see why it is Number one on the list for causing stress.
I have finally finished Honeys quilt, it is already for when I see her at the weekend.
I have finished another throw/lap blanket. The dreaded ends need sewing in. I was hoping that the sewing in fairy would come and help but as yet there has been no sighting of her. So I will sew them all in today. I intend to start another one later today and have decided upon a large Granny square using the same yarn.
I am sorry about the quality of the photos, we have dappled light everywhere at the moment making for some beautiful Spring like days. The temperatures are rising too giving Mother Nature false signals, so many bulbs are emerging through the wet heavy soil early. What a beautiful welcome for the next home owners, Mother Nature giving a helping hand.
See you soon.
What a beautiful quilt for Honey to treasure.
ReplyDeleteThe colours you have used for your lap throw are just divine and I love the pattern.
Although I would love to move house to be a little nearer to town I am so glad that there is no chance of us actually doing it. I think the stress would kill me off...lol-x-
A lovely quilt and a beautiful blanket !
ReplyDeleteHave a quiet day !

The quilt is beautiful. I love the softness of the colours.
ReplyDeleteI noticed a definite change in the temperature this morning. Until today the wind has been making it bitterly cold. X
The waiting game is awful isn't it, are you moving far?
ReplyDeleteHoney's quilt is beautiful, definitely something for her to cherish forever. I like the colours you've used in the blanket and it will be nice to have something a little different in the same colourway. Hope everything goes smoothly with your move.
ReplyDeletethe quilt is pretty and I love how your wrapped it up to give to her :)
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous makes xx Hoping your move goes well, exciting times xx
ReplyDeleteI love the way you have tied the teddy with the quilt. Hope all goes well with the move:)
ReplyDeleteYour hands have created beautiful and precious treasures! The quilt is so pretty all wrapped up. The move and the change of surroundings must be so hard after 21 years, but you are keeping yourself busy, that must help to ease your concerns. We finally have a sunny day here in our corner of Missouri (US), and our spring seems to be here way too early. We are still shut in fighting a nasty flu bug, thought it would be better today, but it is not.
ReplyDeleteSuch nice work, I wish I'd had a Granny like you when I was a little girl.
ReplyDeleteMoving is so hard, particularly emotionally, stay strong.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful...
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish we lived closer!!!!
I'd love to have you teach me to make a beautiful quilt!!!
Always enjoy visiting, my friend. : )
Beautiful quilt, very special. Lovely throw as well.
ReplyDeletelove the quilt with the matching bunny. you always make me want to be a better crafter! hope your move goes quickly and you're on to your new life. Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteThe quilt and throw are both beautiful! And boy do I know the stress of moving. Probably already mentioned before that I moved four times in five years. I was emotionally and physically exhausted. Whew! Glad you are finding time to read and craft!

I swore I would never move again after our move 6 years ago, but we are considering it. Honey's quilt is beautiful. I'm on the home straight with my red, white and blue quilt top now. I'll get the wadding at the weekend. My favourite part is doing the hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteYou have a made a wonderful quilt for Honey & I love how you wrapped it with a cute bunny!
ReplyDeleteThat's another beautiful crochet blanket!
How beautiful, I love the bobbles on the quilt.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! That quilt is just darling and I know that Honey will cherish it as she grows. Your crocheted blanket is also very pretty. I like the colors you chose. Moving. We'll probably be doing that in the next few years too, so I'm trying to get rid of things a little bit at a time now so it won't be so overwhelming then.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Betsy
Amazing you have time to make such beautiful things with your move so imminent. They are both lovely :) B x
ReplyDeleteHoney's quilt is really sweet! If you could send the sew-in-the-ends fairy my way when she is done at yours, that would be great. x
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful quilt.. You are an amazing quilter..
ReplyDeleteHow wise you are using these days to revisit places and create lasting memories.
ReplyDeleteHoney's quilt is lovely and the bunny is sweet. I think she'll love both .
Honey's quilt is beautiful and I'm sure it will be loved and cherished always.
ReplyDeleteHoney's quilt is so pretty! I especially love the applique. I am sure her quilt will be cherished.
ReplyDeleteGood job on the quilt, my friend. She will love that forever and ever. When do you get to head to the island and begin the serious looking for a house? Or have you decided on one via the internet? ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet things, my goodness, I'm sure the quilt will be cherished. I love the sweet way you are presenting it, too. That sewing in fairy is never around when you need her.....your blanket is lovely. You are amazing. Hugs xo Karen
