Happy Birthday.

Today is my little cousins 7th birthday, as she is in school and would be out all weekend I gave her, her presents early, I decided to wrap them using this technique Woven paper gift topper, I chose to use seven colours as she is seven of course, instead of using news paper I used brown parcel paper.

I was happy with the result although it was quite time consuming really because the presents were bigger than in the original post, I had to stick loads of strips together. I did enjoy this once I figured out the best way to make it quick.

Well Mia was happy with her presents so that is all that matters.

Wrong Place.

So its been a good few days since I did sewing on my hexagon patchwork quilt. Just as I was getting back into it I ended up sewing three hexagons into the wrong place, I only noticed when I was about to sew the last side =( so now I have to unpick it all. That I am not exactly looking forward to as the stitches are so small and close together. Well I am halfway there just a few more sides to go but they will have to wait till tomorrow because I’m now getting a bit frustrated with it.

What it should look like.


What the wrong one looks like.

Alaskan Husky Puppies.

So I live over the road from a big rugby field, that also has a park and many people walking there dogs. I sometimes use this to walk through when I am on my way back from Liverpool, it just seems quicker than walking round past all the houses, even though it's the same.

Anyway whilst I was walking over the field with my boyfriend yesterday after buying many birthday presents for my little cousin Mia, we saw one of the cutes dog ever, an Alaskan Husky Puppy, he was so cute and playful, I wanted to take him home, his owner said he (as in the dog) knows he is cute and uses it to his advantage to get attention from people.



These pictures I got from Google don't really give the dog any justice to how cute it was, the look of these puppies kind of scares me, I feel like they are going to jump out of my laptop screen and bite me.

The really cute Alaskan Husky puppy and my boyfriends Alsatian makes me really want a dog again =(

Nearly There.

So I am very nearly there with the hexagon patchwork, I just need to add a few more then I can quilt it and put bias binding round the edge that will make it very much a quilt.
It had come out bigger than I thought it would which it a bonus I guess. I just hope it turns out good in the end.
