unfortunately nothing new...

... a bit off topic... I am sorry I haven't posted for awhile... Life this side of the screen is a waiting game... I am still not sure whether I will have a job by the end of the month... We have had a few false hopes which have all died a death... Now we are in limbo - where ever that place may be... I just can't concentrate on anything and I spend my time playing mindless computer games - my way of dealing with stress... Unfortunately the stress not only is about work but continues over into the workplace as we try to and present a 'work as usual' front... My stitching has been a major casualty and I just can't get into 'the zone' - I pick it up look at it and put it away again... So please be patient with me and I will be back soon with I hope more positive news - on all fronts :-} Until then S xx

... oh dear, oh dear...

Not the best photo in the world I grant you - but the best I could offer in a hurry... As you can see Rabbit is coming along - I loved doing his eye I started out fairly sedately and worked up to the colour it is now... Slow process but getting there - the imagination just isn't 'firing' - I think the news about work we received on Friday has put a dampener on everything... But at least I did something - I also did some more to the 'Love Sampler' but not enough to warrent a photo....

Until later...

a new magazine...

Today I received this in the mail - I was feeling a little 'under a cloud' health wise and so it was nice to have something unexpectedly brighten up my day... I had seen this magazine in one of my 'blog hopping' expeditions and thought it may inspire me.

This magazine was the brain child of Pat Winters from Pat Winter Gathering. Pat Winter is well known in crazy quilting circles...

Crazy Quilt Gatherings is a little like a crazy patch - the more I look through it the more I see.. Its pages reveal little bit of everything, lots of eyecandy, hints to help and profiles of other crazy quilters complete with blog addresses to tempt you to stray even further... No wonder I get nothing done...

I thought I might treat myself to an early night and have a good read...

Until later...
