Bee Mental Blocks Finished!!

Nearly finished everything on my todo list! Yay!!

I had run out of Kona Snow in the shop and couldn't finish my Bee Mental blocks, but it came in late yesterday afternoon, so this morning I set to finishing the blocks.  I feel I can pack now, big weight lifted.  I am going to cut back on swaps for a few months - DH is getting ratty with me, because everything I seem to be sewing is for someone else!  I just have to finish my blocks for Melissa's QATB Art Block Swap, and then back to just monthly bees - DSQ10 is tempting me though!

Now all these dresden's are finished I can write my tutorial for them, for the Go! Cutter and then that means giveaway!!

Potholder Pass 5 and Bee Block

Well, I am starting to get there, i have since moved my sewing machine, Go! Cutter, gadgets, notions etc down but still need to sort out the fireplace and put some quilts on the wall! I will keep some of Lewis' paintings up because I love them despite him telling me that he wanted to build a wall between our spaces! He said he feels like he is painting in someones living room! I am trying very hard not to take it personally!

Starting from Monday I can get back to some serious sewing and give you a proper review of my Go! Cutter
