Day-Light-Saving-Time.....


You might not know,but on Oct.31 we change our time.
Lots of people do all over. This means on Monday when working week starts,we will have to jump :-) out of bed 1 hour earlier than the day before.
Well,my SAL-friends I have started already. It means I have this 1 hour extra. Understand? The hour then from 5am to 6am is in this week my private sewing time. I try to keep the plan of ATTACK and thinking about you all!!!

The stitchery there suits the frosty grass outside. And please don`t mention the "mistake". I just noticed it!!! The lovely little birds and the tree belongs to November block. Piece of cake I`m sure quickly to stitch the lawn mower,gosh is it? Drawing tonight - stitching tomorrow,so please be thinking of me then at 5am!
Did I really forget rule one: Always read the pattern first.....

Glad to see so many lovely blocks,I feel like it keeps me going. And as I said to somebody we are in fact lucky to have Chookyblue "watching over us" :-) Thanking you, I`ll be back,.... maybe on coming Sunday.

Your stitcheries are cute but I don't like the frost on the grass. We have it in the morning here also. A little too early I think but the winter season is good for all the patchwork things we like to do.

Hi Grethe, you know at this stage I don't think it really matters which blocks you do, what does matter is that you are still doing them and you my friend definately are - they are cute, well done.
