Jennifer Yellow-hat

I managed to complete another block tonight, it was quite straight forward and I finished it whilst watching America’s Next Top Model!

We told some of our friends and work colleagues about our engagement today which was fun. Everyone was asking if we had set a date and decided on a venue but we haven’t had time to think that far yet. My mum sent some beautiful flowers to work which was lovely, but I had a struggle getting them home in one piece on the train and bus. I’m so glad I started driving lessons and have a little car to practise in. One of my goals is to definitely pass my test this year s I don’t have to rely on London transport so much.

Today I was lucky enough to receive three gifts. The first was a new laptop, a lovely MacBook Pro (to replace my old PowerBook). Then a Nikon D70 (as my boyfriend treated himself to a newer model). Finally a wonderful swap package arrived containing a handmade Easter ornament and some lovely pieces of fabric.

I spent the evening making another block for my Dear Baby Jane quilt, this time C-9. I found this block hard as it involved cutting out the tears and sewing them in place onto a second fabric. I’m also not too keen on the fabric I used. I hope that by participating in this project my sewing skills will improve, as will my skills choosing fabrics!
