Dont u just love those days when u feel productive??? Well today i had one of those days where my energy levels seemed limitless. I started the morning getting the washing up to date and headed off to the new sewing room for some painting....by days end i almost finished half of the room, going to buy some curtains tomorrow and should be ready to post some pictures by the weekend. I also got the 2nd kids art quilt top pieced and the 1st one basted ready for quilting:
The colours are a little different on this one as i had to consider my MIL's colour scheme. I also got 4 log cabins completed (or "loggies" as i like to call them). So i really feel like im making a dent in some of the projects im working on.
Maddi is an avid reader(just like her dad) and today she brought home some new books which appealed to me. They r part of a series of fictional diaries, all set in England:
We chose one each to start reading and although they r aimed at teenagers.......im loving mine. Im reading the Great Plague and its so interesting to get a glimpse of what life was like in the 1600's. One particular part stands out for me............she is talking about a "old" woman who has passed away in her sleep at the great age of 49......how different and lucky we r today, where life expectancy is far greater.
Hope u had a great day!!!.......................Log Cabin Tally:22 blocks

Congrads on your productive day! Yea, those are the best. The quilt lots lovely! As for children's books, they are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI love those productive days! Good luck with the painting.
ReplyDeleteHad to giggle about the book reading... There is always a danger when I'm dusting the bookshelves of finding an interesting kid's title and sitting down to read instead of continuing with housework.
ReplyDeleteLove the kid's art quilt. What a lovely idea for grandparents.
