Heart mad

finished a heart garland with my daughter yesterday
took most of the day; but still preferable to her slouching in front of TV all day whilst I moan! She's 13 in January and she's read the book on how to be a teen.  I myself subscribe to 
 ' Over Anxious Mother ' magazine as read by Marge on the Simpsons


lots of arguing, but it was lovely to do something with her


she stuck to stuffing and me to sewing in the end




tonight just made an extra heart for my sister Katharine who we  are looking forwards to seeing tomorrow; something very nice about a stuffed decoration, just want to reach out and squidge it!

christmas quilt done at last

Phew!
This quilt was beginning to take over my flat
I have beaten it into submission and  bound it tonight
