I have a confession to make, Ive been slack at blogging lately because....are you seated, ive actually been doing house work! ( gasp's all round). I know Im perplexed people....I actually mopped my kitchen floors after the kids were in bed, you know put the chairs up on the table and everything, not the usual swish around the chairs and table legs! Although the next night I was reminded why I dont bother, as the kids split cordial all over the floor and then I went and smashed a glass with coke in it and it went every where! Then Ive been doing the dishes every night right after dinner...I am now a believer in the fact that if you do something every night for more than 3 weeks it becomes a Habit....WHO Knew!
Ive been reading a book I brought a couple of weeks ago and its all about getting organized in a year, and it takes you step by step and each week is a different task. Ive been working on the kitchen, my Pantry is neat and you can actually see where everything is, although I still need to do the top shelf. As part of this change I have been making a Dream board of what my ideal house could be, something to work towards and bring to fruition. She mentions in the book getting a group together and making a " Zen Group" to help each other get organized and stay focused. Make dream boards and discuss where everyones at. Sounds good, not sure if anyone else is interested or living in "CHAOS" Cant Have Anyone Over Syndrome" like me? Id be interested to hear your thoughts...
I have made my decision and bordered my Bento Quilt..... Drum roll please.
Thank you all for your suggestions and I did take them into consideration. I went with the lighter option as not to over power the patterns on the inside. This is what I came up with. I had the check/gingham from a international swap I did on Swap-bot and the corner you see was also a swap, they happen to match and work out perfectly. I chose the white to go on the outer boarder as I plan to bind it with all the different patterned sheets.
So now im starting the back and am still thanking of a good free motion pattern for it.
Why is it when ever I try to take a photo someone always has to get in on the act? Usually its the little ones, this time its the Biggest.
Speaking of quilting, Ive joined the Melbourne Modern Quilters Guild, its open to anyone in Melbourne and there is a site for you to pop in on and contribute to if you like, they hope to hold meetings and get together where you can swap and chat and get tips and tricks and all that good stuff.
