A Little Of This And A Little Of That...

I have been to Perth for the Baby Shower for this ''bump'' that we call ''Milton''...
would you believe that this is a 28 week bump???
she is now over 29 weeks...
 and this is the wonderful stash of baby goodies that she received
 this was my baby shower gift
 a crochet basket weave blankie made in pure wool
 so thick and cuddly
 and heavy...
it will be super warm for our winter baby...

I decided to pick up my hook again 
as I needed to give my finger a rest from hand sewing on the baby quilt for a friend...  
I made a hole in the top and it was so sore...

 I have been loving the Granny Squares that are popping up everywhere on Pinterest so I have been looking around and found this one and you can find more here and here and here
not sure what I will make yet but I am loving the little squares so far...
 and this was the last addition to the baby quilt for a friend... a frog.

More Blocks...

I haven't posted any blocks the past few days 
as there has been a bit of hand sewing to be done on two of them...
row two
this one will have the butterfly over lapping into the first row... 
that will need a bit of twisting my body like a contortionist to get it sewn down.. 
the possum is so cute curled up there
 babies details carved into the trunk...
 and the brown blob is the head of a lizard...
I am working on the last block in this row which has an echidna  chasing ants...

Block Three...

Emu's...
now that isn't very bright as the fabrics I chose are a wee bit more colourful than that...
never mind you can still see the progress...
today I will add the sashing and start the middle row which has a tree in each block plus more...
and thank to to those that left comments yesterday...
 I went to reply but they are deleted from my hotmail account which could be my fault OOPS... 
yeah I need to learn a little more about my i-phone hahahahaha

Block Two...

the next animal that I have chosen for the quilt is the
dingo...
and 
yes he does have a knife in that paw 
and 
he will have a fork in the other paw when the block next to him is constructed...
onto the emu and chicks block now...
I would have got quite a bit of sewing done on this yesterday but.........
I had no power for 7 hours due to one of the batteries in the solar power set up causing it all to shut down...
even the back up generator didn't want to play with me...
and 
it was 42 degrees yesterday so I had no fan
and 
I couldn't open the fridge as Hubby was out for the day 
and 
he didn't get home until 3 pm and this all happened at 8 am...
so a very boring day...
life in the bush...
