Hello hello hello!!!

Well it's not all been about school work this semester so I will be doing a couple of updates to my comings and goings! First we have a new hobby.
Did you guess soap making?? The ones on top are chocolate and orange essential oil swirled + jaffa! And the ones on the bottom are different shapes from the first batch that I made, plain. It is pure hell waiting for 4-6 weeks to use my own soap!! I'm hoping to make some goats milk with honey and oats today or tomorrow!!

The next update is a stitch along that I'm following along with- I know, I know. I join them all the time- blah blah blah!! They'll get done!! This one has a blog aswell but I am not a poster :( The project is the quilt out of Anni Downs' new book called "Some Kind of Wonderful" (SKOW) called "My Favourite Things". I've dug into the stash and come up with some lovely CW fabrics and I'm ready to start!!
And this is Kelvin! He's a beautiful little character and hopefully you'll get to see lots of him!!

Love your choice of fabric for the stitchalong and how clever of you to make your own soap - I am sure it smells as good as it looks. Happy stitching.

Hi Sasha, it's so nice to 'see' you again. Your soap looks good enough to eat! I keep thinking about buying the Anni Downs book, I am looking forward to seeing you make it with your own fabrics. Wendy
