Yep, here I am again, back from my week non-blogging and what have I been doing this last week? Well…. not all that much! I have been cleaning the house, having guests, a checkup at the midwife - everything is okay with the little one - I also did some craft buying yesterday ( lots and lots of dyed fabrics for a landscape course I am going to attend in November )…
Than this day came and I found something on the net I instandly wanted to create…… a simple landscape with yo-yo flowers. I adjusted the pattern a bit to my own liking and this is how far I am now. I am thinking of giving it to my mom’s friend when he has his birthday in September… or keep it myself. lol!
I have pinned it and will start quilting it tomorrow, shall show you more when finnished.
Going to my basket now, see you all soon nut till than…. happy blogging!
hugs
Today, I went to the vet and had my cat put down. He was realy realy ill and I think this is for the better.
So I guess no happy sewing or blogging for today.
hope you have a good day today

… will I buy and use Japanese fabric with woven flowers. I am sewing a bag like the one before, but this time I used Japanese-like fabric. you know that fabric with the woven flower-patterns and it is so shiny! it looks great but is a hell to sew. fibers sticking out on every seam… I will be so relieved when this bag is finished. It depends on this “prototype” if I will ever use these fabrics again and at the moment I think I will not, not ever again.
I also finished my babyquilttop made out of jellyrolls and charm-packs. A couple of weeks ago I ordered 2 jellyrolls and 3 charm-packs from Hancocks of Paducah. They are all in the same style: Moda Barcelona I think. I cut the jelly’s into 2 5″ & 2 9″ pieces and pieced them light jelly with dark charm or vise versa.
At the moment I used 20 9″ blocks and created a top for the baby. It is the first thing I’ll make for this new baby and I sure hope the baby likes it. The fabrics are almost all floral and if the baby is a boy… well my husband said I would need to create a new baby-quilt if so. I still have a couple of strips jelly left and I am thinking of using that in the playpen quilt I want to create. I also do have a whole jellyroll and 2 charm-packs left…. maybe I should create a walhanging with it to hang in the baby-room….. just me thinking.
As I said before, I am a “sew as I like” kind of type and that means I start sewing and see where I end… not always smart but well… it works so far. The blocks of the BQ are 8,5″… 4 in a row…. 5 rows…. my concern now is if it is big enough, I don’t want to end up with a BQ that isn’t big enough to have a baby sleep under… So if there is anyone out there that can help me with this and have a suggestion on the size…. go ahead and let me know… I can still change things around NOW… the quilt isn’t done … yet, lol.
well, maybe more later this evening, who knows!

a couple of months ago my tomcat Sieb went ill, but not ill enough to be able to catch him and take him to the vet. Last week it came back again, he had a bladder infection and he couldn’t pee anymore due to a stone blocking his “youknowwhat”. So I took him to the vet… he let it all happen so that means he realy was very very ill indeed. The vet helped him and it took me 235,5 euro’s to pay all of this. Now… not that I am poor, but swimming in money isn’t one of the things I can say I do every day you know?! so it took all my savings to pay the vet. I did it with love, thinking my cat would be better afterall.
So I could take my cat back home with me, still dazed from the sedation he got, but he could come back home…. The day after he did leave his pee run out, so me being 16 weeks pregnand, had to run after him cleaning up his mess. I know he can’t help it and again the vet told me it would be for just a couple of days… now it is fryday, Sieb had his problems almost 4 days ago and still there are no signs that the situation will improve…. what should I do? I have no money left in the bank and Sieb is under painkillers wich make him really dizzy, he lets his pee run wild on my livingroomfloor and everytime he eats something he returns it within 30 minutes. I am thinking of giving the vet another call this afternoon and make an appointement for his euthanasia…. it seems to me that is the only “human” thing I can do for him.
turning to God for guidance….
