The Holiday's are Over!!

Well its back to work today!! I have had a lovely crafty holiday, and I seem to have found my craft mojo at the moment, lets hope I can continue to work on my many projects once back at work and strike some sort of balance in my week!
I have managed to work on many things during the holidays and my night-time stitching box is overflowing. Do you do this when you are on holidays? Jump from one project to the next??

Project Number 1- The new BOM I just had to buy on Friday...Oops...my resolve to not purchase anything else slipped a bit! It is called Kitchen Capers and its a Natalie Bird quilt. I purchased it from Esme's. I just love the fabrics Lillian has used to make it...very pretty!

Project Number 2- My Collection for a Cause Tumbler quilt. This is my new bed quilt. It is 25 rows by 25 rows...I have about 6 rows together so far...must get it together to help combat these chilly winter nights!!

Project Number 3- The centre block of my Quiltaid quilt..lots of buttonhole stitching to do here!

Project Number 4-Block 4 of Down in the Garden. Progress has slowed here a little. The watering can stitchery is a little daunting...once I get started I'm sure I will enjoy working on it as much as I did the last one!
So lots of things to keep me motivated on these cold nights when I get home from school!
For those of us returning to work today....Enjoy and have fun!

I don't feel guilty about having a few projects on the go at once, I'm sure it keeps us interested in the overall craft. It would get way too boring working on the same thing all the time!

Such beautiful things you are making. I think it is panic: panic that soon school holidays will be over and you worry you haven't achieved anything!!

You HAVE been busy, Cathy! Good girl and the ideal time to do it of course. School for me yesterday too, but I stayed late and then had no work to do at home ~ so was able to hem the lap quilt I made for my DD over the weekend. Lovely and warm under it too, LOL Will put a photo up on my blog tonight.

What lovely projects!! You have plenty to inspire you at night now. I find it is always fun to have a few projects on the go at once.

Your projects are coming along well, love them all! Having a few projects on the go at the same time gives you some variety, I think there would be very few people out there to start and complete just one project at a time.
