Just call me Nigella

Taking it easy has never been so sweet...


I decided to use my down time on the weekend to explore the world of desserts.
And to my surprise I was quite successful.


I will add this one to the very short list of things I can cook!

Now on to something a little more crafty!


This is a planning photo. It is the beginning of my first quilt, a bit of a Gee's Bend that I thought would be a quick project, and it'd be whipped up in no time.

How wrong I was.
That photo was taken 2 years ago (maybe even longer)!

This quilt has been something I held close to my heart, then something I couldn't stand to look at but it has come full circle again (thank the lord). I love it's use of plains, and the big stitch quilting.
This photo was taken a week or so ago and although still not finished, it's pretty damn close and I am pretty damn proud!

Eat, sleep, stitch... repeat!

So - Life has been a little lop sided since NYs. Well, actually longer than that...
After days at work spent yawning, and the usual evening routine being nap, dinner then early to bed. 
A few weekends where my sleeping pattern has been entertaining/worrying (one weekend managing to sleep for 24 hours straight, only to wake up and nap two hours later). I finally made it/was dragged to the doctor! I survived my blood test and discovered I have glandular fever.
Nothing to worry about - my bank account is singing after very little social activity and i have been using the much needed down time to further my love of craft and explore the world of paper piecing.
 
 White fabric on a white table ; not great for photos!

This lovely little thing will be small cot sized quilt; a shop sample for when we start to sell papers. It's been a really enjoyable and incredibly addictive project. Tips of fingers are looking a little dodgy (Thanks Mum for the new thimble) and anytime spent on the couch without a needle in my hand feels like a complete waste of time!

Hello all in blogland, sorry for the silence - had been a busy start to 2011!
Thought I would kick the year off with some great pictures that have caught my eye!
