It has just occurred to me that in 6 weeks time I will be boarding a British Airways jumbo jet, bound for Sydney. And not only do some Christmas presents need to be made and finished by then, by the time I come back, there will not be enough time to finish and post any others.
So I thought I ought to marshal my plans and see what needs to be done:
Before I go
Draft Excluder for office at work (shouldn't take too long)
Heather's black and white and pink quilt (cut and partially pieced)
Log Cabin Christmas tree (mostly assembled)
Girly I Spy for Jane's great niece (got the fabric)
2 x Cream orphan disappearing 9 patch for Debbie (one pieced, one started)
To take when I go
Sister In Law - make a bag (got the fabric)
Mother - make a bag (got the fabric)
BQL Secret Santa Swap - make a bag (started)
Brother - Nah only joking, nothing for him!
Niece - finish felt dolls house (started, maybe take as hand sewing?)
Nephew - quilt and bind play mat / blankie (got the fabric. maybe take as hand sewing, it's a long way!)
Hummm, that's two finishes a week - ooops!
I started this blog for me - it expanded to show BFF Jackie what I was doing - and a few others have invited themselves too - everybody welcome! Mostly about patchwork, with random comments about embroidery, family and life in general, come on in, put your feet up, and I'll put the [virtual] kettle on.
Um, good luck with that! I can always help you though if you take me with you... :oD

You'll do fine!!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you'll finish in plenty of time!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with taking hand sewing. I wasn't even allowed needles on the aircraft to Perth. Hopefully they've seen a little sense recently. At least take spare in the hold luggage and nothing in hand luggage you won't mind being thrown away.
Is this what you call a "working holiday" then!
ReplyDeleteYou'd best stop blogging and start stitching, then! Good luck with all the finishes!
ReplyDeleteGosh - good luck with all that work !!
ReplyDeleteQuite a list you've got there! Be sensible and put my bag to the bottom of the list. No hurry, that can wait till January. Love xxx
