While the Chook's in the oven...
May 08, 2007
Okay girls this is going to be a really quick post. I've just stuck the chicken in the oven and she's roasting away (bought from the supermarket, not Ginger or Daphne from my garden!). I have to complete this post while dinner's cooking and before hubby gets home (for some odd reason he thinks I'm spending WAY too much time on the computer).
Here's a bit of what I've been up to with my version of the 365 Challenge Quilt that I hadn't shared:
And because you all inspired me to include bits from family members:
Some of you have emailed me about the Yahoo group that Linda has started up. The link is: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/365Challenge/ . Linda mentioned this in the comments at the end of my April 15 post.
I just have to share an idea that was emailed to me (I will keep the author anonymous seeing as it was an email). One lady doing the 365 quilt has decided to put a height chart down one side of her quilt for her three children (one being a newborn). She thinks she might put their hand/foot prints on the quilt as well! The 4 year old will get to write their name at the start of the quilt and at the end so the progress of writing can be recorded!
Ladies - your inspiration is amazing!
Oh - do I hear hubby in the driveway? Better dash....

I absolutely LOVE the 365 idea!!! How fun and original! Enjoyed your blog while having my coffee this morning....you have quite the eye for composition with your photography too! Thank you for sharing your photos and blog.
A fellow Stashbuster,

Hmm, I guess all our "blogger husbands" are about the same LOL. Love your blocks Leanne, and I am proud to tell you I finally got started writing on mine- not as pretty as yours, but the intention is the same. I am having fun :)

This 365 idea is awesome! I just love your blocks!!! And I chuckled about your husband -- I've found I do the same thing -- trying to sneak on when he's busy...you know, in the bathroom, etc... ;-)

My husband would agree with yours as well, but hey it's fun catching up with everyone.

Hi Leanne - love your blocks! My husband would have to agree with yours at the moment! He says he quite likes looking at the back of my head!
Another side-effect of all this blogging that I have got myself into is a really stiff neck - I thought I had a virus until it dawned on me that it was sitting on a normal chair in front of the computer for hours on end that had actually done it!
I need to dig out my old sewing machine today to see if I can get it up and running as my current one is messing around! Have a good day, Lucy
