Organised Chaos - Otherwise Known As WIP Wednesday

It's Wednesday again...where are the weeks going???
 

Kisses blocks for the baby quilt are pieced and ready to go

 
  I'm hoping to have this sewn together tonight so I can drop it off to my longarmer tomorrow, mum-to-be would like a chenille backing and even Lady Muck won't handle that on top of wadding and a top

 
This is the state of my kitchen table as we speak...two projects being sewn simultaneously...that's normal right?....and your family eats their tea on their laps don't they??
 
When you're on a roll and the stars are aligning you just have to get jiggy wid it and sew, sew sew!


 
Super Crochet Woman aka my darling friend dropped off wee girl's larger sized crochet Bear Beanie...she would not cooperate for photos...or take out the "nummy"
 
 
And it came with these!!!.....CUTE!...and baby OneWeeBird loves them...so spoilt
 
 
I wonder if she would make me a pair.....If I make her a Quilt maybe....

Finally a Bee Block Out On Time

So I finally did it, I have managed to post a Bee block for StashBee within the correct month...whew...seriously I never thought it was gonna happen!
 

I used to wonder how people could be late with Bee blocks when they only had to make one block....

 
NOW I KNOW! ...It's called life and it can really get in the way of great sewing plans



Anywho...this is March's Block  request from Anna and it is awesome to do...so much so that I have added it to my ever growing list of WIP's I urge you to check out the tutorial and have a go yourself


 
I highly recommend using the graph paper and working out your size then what I did was write the cutting measurements inside the spaces so you can draw and colour and figure out all in one step, then just tip your low volume scrap basket out and go for it!
 
 
Also how cute is this hat??
 
 
My wonderful friend who is also the mother of "my son from another mother" (aka 2nd son's bestie) made this for my wee girl using this tutorial ...like in one night......tada....just like that...I think crochet is her Super power....and I love it!
