No Pressure

Just not enough hours in my days this month for all the things I want NEED to get done.  The very last day of this month sees hubby and I head off to Tassie to catch up with my Mum and Dad and I decided some time ago that I would have their birthday quilts ready to take with me (Dad's Birthday is end September and Mum's is mid-October).  At this point in time Mum's quilt is pinned and ready for quilting...

Mum's Quilt Top
Dad's quilt is still in pieces but they are all ready to put together. Here is the first bit done...

Spiderweb
I have completed the bag for Friends in Stitches bag swap - no clues - Helen might see it and be disappointed that it isn' t orange crochet.  So just another couple of bits to finish off to go inside the bag and then this one is ready for posting.

I have another bag to work on too which is for Deb who's birthday is next week.
 
So this busy chickie best pull her finger out and get some things happening - wonder if the boss would notice if I took it all to work with me or just didnt go to work at all?????


 To leave you on a much more positive note this is the sweetest little pincushion I received from Carol (no blog) in the pincushion swap!



Time to go to see what I can get done before heading off to work this afternoon.
