Ruby Block of the Month

I'm having a break from #100days100blocks....I pulled out my Ruby BOM from Shiralee Stitches. I didn't want to get too far behind everyone else. This month I received block 3 and 4 this month ...oops... I've cut out two, and about to do my third block and will prep them for some hand sewing tonight. 


I haven't been able to finish my Old Time Kaleidscope as I left a section at sewing...will hopefully pick it up this week...Only a few more days of holidays with the kids...we have been home, doing odd trips to town for the Winter Festival and movies. Next week is full on with kids appointments and our Annual P&C Trivia Night.....so trying to knit, sew, read and anything else while I can hehehehe

First week #100days100blocks2018

What a busy week it has been, the kidlets have returned from Grandmas after spending a few days. Hubby is still away till Wednesday...then he's off to Melbourne to pick up Miss14 from her Nannas.

So, whats a girl to do, but sew.... because Lost in Play is sponsoring Day49 of Gnome Angels #100days100blocks.... I had an excuse to join in...IM having a great time and although its everyday, I am cutting blocks ahead of times and sewing the blocks early if I know I will be busy that day... Its sooo nice to be sewing again....



These are the first six blocks and Im using Tula Pink's All Stars, Spirit Animal and De La Luna fabrics...Im not a "brights"girl but am lovely the artistry of Tulas fabrics... cant wait to see this one finished. I love the "sewalongs"as they keep you focused and on track...well for me it works ...
This is an ïnstagram sewalong but IM sure people are blogging about their adventures too...


I bought this book last year and missed the sewalong due to life but I was determined to play this year...I just need to decide on the sashing, but Ive got a while till I need too...

Another project that is calling me is ShiraleeStitches  BOM "Ruby"...might have a play this afternoon as I have the first month of the BOM on my desk....calling.... calling.....


And each night I've been knitting my Eskimo Drops hoodie jacket, I've finished the back and started the front last night...but pics next time...its sooo nice to have my creative mojo back....
