One down, One to go

I have at least got one set of my January Bee blocks done on time and heard they've safely arrived. Technically there is still a day left in January so I may well get the second of the blocks done tomorrow. They just won't be arriving in January.

Collette asked us for disappearing nine patch blocks using some white fabric and some Anna Maria Horner fabric. Helpfully she'd already cut us the squares. So I just had to sew them together remembering her request to go as random as possible.

It had been my intention to get them all done this week. However, I've had some more challenging news to deal with. I won't bore you all with it because I feel like a complete whingey old bag keep blogging about the negative stuff. Then last night a friend came round with a belated birthday present. Everything had a birdie theme. I can't think why she thought I might like our feathered friends.

Today I finally got out to get the birds some proper bird food. We'd run out just before it snowed and we'd been turning out our kitchen cupboards to get them some food. They didn't seem to mind. I've also been trying to declutter. Part of my news could involve a big lifestyle change for me, so I really need to stop talking about getting rid of stuff and getting on with it. And if I can flog some of it on eBay so much the better. But more on that another time.
