Anyway this morning was spent on general housework tasks - washing machine on, dishwasher cycled finished and emptied etc., before paying some attention to church work. After some time with the jigsaw - I am beginning to see the end of this task (albeit I found out this morning that Dad had put a few pieces in place so cannot now claim to have done it all grr) - I then braved the cold air with the dogs.
Next on the agenda was a splendid sampler block. As the title of today's blog suggests I have 23 to go until I go away for Christmas and it would be nice to catch up. Being a chicken, the first one was nice and simple - it took hardly any time! As you can see, Daisy accompanied me in the sewing room - although I really don't know why I bothered to buy her a bed!!
After some lunch and leg resting (well 40 winks but it was Doctor's orders - honest), it was then a second load of washing, some drying and a second Splendid Sampler block (I go away in a couple of weeks so ought to aim for two blocks a day as a minimum! So that's 21 blocks to go in 13 days - oops!
Tonight I will work on a third block which uses English Paper Piecing so can be done in front of the TV. With the fire on it would have been a cosy evening but the chimney sweep is coming tomorrow so I think that I ought to leave him a cold one to work with!
By the way, periodically I look at the stats for this little blog (or the ramblings of a mad woman as I like to call it!) As you can see from the table below, over the past week people from across the world have read this blog - which blows my mind. Thank you for taking the time and please feel free to leave a comment x

Ahhh cute Daisy, those stats really are astonishing aren't they!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why you don't have Australia or New Zealand follows it can't be the language?
ReplyDeleteIt seems to go in cycles Colleen - I was big in Russia at one point!
