Yesterday I looked back in my diary to see how long I have had M's block... It is just shy of one month - 19th Jan- but it does seem longer... I have nearly completed it - just needs a little tweaking and it shall be on its way... I am hoping to have it posted on Monday...
I am pleased with what I have done and the learning curve has been huge... But I have learnt one thing - if my gut instinct says 'put it there' I do... Instead of, trying something else - only to find it didn't work and I have to then carefully unpick and redo... But it is all part of the plan - its not what you get right you remember - it is what you got wrong that stays in your mind...

I have a couple of ideas brewing on the back burner for future CQ's - one to do with a little Rowan Dean stitchery I bought at the op shop... I am thinking of making that the centre block and then CQ around it... And the other is an angel block - I am unsure of the makeup of that one but it hovers on the edge of my mind... Now mind you these two are only going to be 'one block wonders' as I feel small is the way to go at the moment... I want to experiment with different themes and application of stitches and endeavour to expand my horizons... I think by making small manageable blocks will be the way to satisfy all these aspects..
M & D are enjoying their time overseas... They both loved France and despite what they have heard found that on the whole the people were both friendly and helpful... They travelled to Champagne and Burgundy tasting the wine and enjoying the countryside... Now onto Spain...
Well enough from me - I am off to tweak M's block some more before I head off to work...

Sharon, why don't you think about joining us at the Chains of Hearts group. 6" hearts are an ideal way to experiment with new stitches and embellishments. and it's aheap of fun!

LOL jo... I am already a member... I joined last year but when I saw the standard of the work felt a little intimidated and never went ahead and made any... I still look in from time to time - people do some amazing stuff... Perhaps when I feel that my work is good enough to participate I will... Thanks anyway for the invitation it was greatly appreciated...
