Still crafting

Over on the old Blog I often shared the things I make, this blogs will be no different. 
In January of 2024 I started a Grandmothers garden hexagon quilt, lots of flowers made up of hexies. I wasn't able to finish it by the end of the year as hoped, but as there is no rush that doesn't matter. I have two rows still to do.
Today I pulled out my boxes of fabrics and hopefully found enough to make up the remaining flowers,  the neutrals are already done 


Over on Facebook I've set myself a couple of challenges for the year.
The first,  is to post one good thing every day, in a increasingly depressing and violent world this challenge is a positive I think. There is still joy and beauty in the world.
Day 1 Expresso Martinis 
Day 2
After nearly 2 months I was able to drive the car again. I'd had cellulitis in my leg in November which took a while to heal, so I'm very happy to be mobile again. 
Day 3 - today.
Cutting fabrics for the Grandmothers Garden quilt, see above.

The other challenge is inspired by this book which I have on order
The idea is to take a mindful moment in your day to stitch a memory from the day.
Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
So far the two challenges are the same, I'm sure that as I settle into the challenges that I'll be a little more imaginative 😆 

These two make me laugh every day


And that's me for today
