Hot!!

It has gotten hot too early here!! 31 degrees, too hot. Our Air Con is broken and we are hoping it will be fixed very soon.
Anyway, on a more exciting note, our oldest daughter auditioned for the conservatorium and got in!! Wohoooo. We are very excited for her. She just got back from school camp and was so excited to know she had gotten in. She was so tired from camp that I think she went to sleep in about 4 minutes :) should be fun waking her tomorrow for string ensemble nice and early. There are so many joys to being a parent :)
Did some work this week....
This piece was one that a friend painted when I did my first test class, so I free motioned it for her.

 This is my sun, I am having THE best time sewing this up. Just totally enjoying it.
I also ordered some more paints, and this time I ordered some metallic gold and silver and also I found that the company i buy the paint through stock the pearl lustre that I need and have run out of. So wohoo to that. I will be able to experiment and go to town with all that fun lustre :)
I also just finished the latest Louise Penny Inspector Gamache books. WOW it was sooo good. If you are looking for something to read with depth, they are the books. I loved it.

  1. Hooley Dooley Jane, they're amazing!!!

    I had my first crack at machine quilting today and i've got to tell you i'm absolutely crap at it. I can't even fathom how you get all those little fiddley bits done with no big bubbles of fabric squishing out all over the place.

    I say it again.....you're amazing!
