It's June, and I finished a quilt.



I finished the binding on this quilt on Saturday. It took me all day, which is not to say that this is a big quilt (it's not) but that I had a very interrupted day of sewing. Asher12 had his very first migraine as well and I was quite busy reassuring him that visual disturbances, numbness, pain and vomiting are quite normal for a migraine. I think I am safe in saying that it was the first time he had experienced such pain and he didn't like it. It was an enlightening experience for him!


It's hard to believe that it is June already. I'm not quite sure what happened to May, but I'm sure it's the same at your house. Even now with all of June stretching before me I'm sure it will pass in a flash and I will be bemoaning it's quick passing in four short weeks! We have the countdown of the last four weeks of term two happening here. Lily16 is in year 12 and is desperate for the year to be over! I have a dress to make for her formal (less than three weeks away now) so that will keep me busy I'm sure. We also have our son Joseph24 visiting us this month. We can't wait to spend some time with him! 

The weightloss progression has been slow of late. I am still concentrating on it and had a mental obstacle to overcome which took ages! I am hoping that now that I am under the 100kg mark that things may be more easy for a time. I have lost 24kg to date (30kg since we moved to Melbourne two years ago) and easily have that much more to go to reach an acceptable BMI. (Body Mass Index) Before I began the great weightloss endeavour my BMI was in the "morbidly obese" category and I have now progressed to the "obese" category, which doesn't sound a whole lot better! My Bradley assures me that it is and is encouraging me to stick with it! So, in June I hope to lose more weight, sew a formal dress (it's going to be red and ruffly!), and finish something else quilty. There. Goals. Better go get started!

It's June!

The view from my front door.......... It's winter here, but it still seems like autumn! June is one of my favourite months. I love the cooler weather. I am not a fan of summer. It just gets too hot here and we are blessed to have relatively mild winters so it's not like it gets really cold! I have been sewing this week, but haven't finished anything. I have been working on my red club little quilt and enjoying it very much. Sewing the tiny hexagons seemed so fiddly at first, but now they just seem so quick! Must go sew!!!

It's June!

It has been very cool in the mornings for the past couple of weeks. In fact it feels like winter. It's hard to believe that June is here. I love June! I love the weather (nice and cool). The photo above is Adelaide this week under a blanket of fog. We have birthdays coming up in June. I received an invitation from Mrs 24 this week for grandson's first birthday party. Doesn't time fly! Can't believe that grandson has been here for almost a year!
