So I haven't seen my fiancé since Monday, as he's had a horrendous week at work including 3 overnights as well as day shifts, then went straight from there to a 3 night stag do. He's on his way home now, and I can't wait to see him and practically attach myself to him! But I can't complain; it's not actually been that bad a weekend...
I don't get paid until tomorrow, but I managed to budget enough so that I could go and buy some wadding for two quilting projects I've had on the go for a while now. At the beginning of the month I bought a lot of different materials very cheaply off eBay and once I had it all I started to create a baby-sized quilt for one of my friends who will be giving birth in July. After the success of the gift I made my mum at Christmas, I've well and truly got the bug for it now! It's been something to indulge in and waste the hours of the lonely weekend away, but with productive results at the end of it. I've still got to slip-stitch the hem to the back, but it's otherwise done. Take a looky:
The other quilt top is one I made way back last year but never had the courage to go the next step with until recently. Tom's mum is currently hand-quilting a massive quilt she's made, and I'm considering doing the same thing, as this other one will struggle to fit through my sewing machine.
Slimming World tomorrow - dreading it!! The good thing about finding something as all-consuming as quilting is it kept me from snacking and eating copious amounts of stuff I don't need to eat. So fingers crossed!!
