Still here..

Just a little busy..

I heard a little bird say that Chookyblue had wondered where I was. ;) Still here, I can assure you.

It's just been a couple of crazy days and weeks - both at work and at home. Not just trying to be social when the occation demands it (although it feels so much nicer to just go to bed after dinner and sleep for a couple of hours), but also getting the annual NTF (Norwegian Fancy Rat Association) party on it's feet and pulled through, but also - again - work.. Been working over-time at work, and trying to get things done both here and there, so eventhough I have blogged in my mind, there hasn't really been much to look at in here. :/

I have managed to do some things inbetween though (just not blog them) - I've come quite a long way on my SSCS (gonna wait with the picture until it's all done), and "Love is.." is now done! Hurray!!! Thanks to my mom who machine quilted it (it was a matter of getting it done - after almost three years of working on it, I got kinda sick of it, but the quilting suits it, and now it's waiting for a couple of nails in the wall so that it can be hung in our bedroom - the only place with a big enough empty space on the wall). I've even almost finished the october-part of our miniature BOM (my mom, two of her friends and I decided to only make one block a month of this calendar quilt back in June, almost halfway now).

I'll leave you with a picture of the completed "Love is.." - have to remember to mark it off as done in my UFO-list too - and I will post a new picture when it's up on it's wall. :) Kinda hard to get a good picture when it's draped over the sofa instead of hanging on the wall.. but it's done! And that's what matters. :)
