I Tried, I Really Did

But things aren't easy lately. 

I did managed to sew some PINK.

Along with other colours. 

I work with the entire rainbow while playing with Friends' Favourite quilt. I find it hard to remember which colour this month is, haha. 

These Hollow 9 blocks are my leader-enders. 

I did my favourite little 9-Patch block when I caught sight of this cute daisy print. Resistance is futile. Haha. 

The girls at the Artisanat haven't received any new quilts to finish or kits to work on. They are starting to ask if the baby quilt drive is still on. Yes, it is. Those little Hollow 9 blocks are parts of a kit. 

Not much of a pattern: " 36 Hollow 9 blocks with 36 squares of 5.5" interesting prints. Sew in a grid of 8 X 9. Any and all layouts are acceptable and beautiful." Can't wait to seeing what this kit will grow into. 

Some of you know that I've been sick since February 23rd when I was to go on a retreat. Well I am still coughing. No improvement yet, but the doctor now know what I have. Never mind the medical term (cause I don't remember) but it's an infection in my nose. Yep, in my nose that drips at the back of my throat, irritating it on its way down and my body reacts by coughing. I cough so much that it feels like knifes in my chest and back that moves around when I cough. The meds are to take a couple of weeks to work as they aren't antibiotics but steroids. I'm on steroids?? 

The part that annoys me the most is that after all these weeks of coughing and crunching, (and wetting my pants) I still don't have a six-pack!! What's with that? I deserve a six-pack! These steroid meds better give me a six-pack or else, I want a refund. 

Anywho! 

Back in February, although I didn't stay very long at the retreat, Sonia had brought me a little gift that I want to share with you. 

A little tray and it's orange. It says: The sewing room isn't going to tidy itself, so let's just close the door. Thanks again, Sonia. It's perfect for holding my chocolate eggs while I sew. Haha! 

Now, on a sad note, my mother-in-law passed away on the 31st. She was in the hospital for an entire week. Hopefully, she is the cherry on top of the big ugly sundae that was the month of March and all will be better in April. Like Dolly Parton once said: If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Well, I need a rainbow now please. 

Hope you are under a glorious rainbow and you get plenty of sewing done. 

Enjoy! ;^)

Like me, Raven also love the sunrise's warmth. It was a lovely morning today.
