My creative space…
I did actually manage to get cracking on the white quilt yesterday. I’m piecing by hand so the pins are out.
This of course got me thinking about pin cushions & magnets. I’ve given myself permission to deviate for speed craft.
Variety & all that…I need it.
I know that the Link man has been a little moody lately & I think I’ll probably change over to someone new next week but I’m having a swag of computer issues of my own. The geriatric laptop is totally on the go slow & I think on her last legs. We’ve made some purchases & the tech guys will be here on Monday to set us up! Enormously excited about that!
Gorgeous space from last week right here.
Don’t forget to pop in & add your link if you’re playing along this week.

White quilt pieced by hand – you are a brave woman! I blame Mr Linky for my post last week directing to July – totally not a user error
because I NEVER make them!

Technology… your best friend one minute your worst enemy the next… it's hard to imagine living without it though.
All the best with the new fit out and all the crafting projects you are work on.

Is your pincushion made from a vintage sheet? I think I've made the same fabric into one of the owls on my Creative Space post this week, snap!

When I was a child I had sheets and a dress made from the same fabric as your pincushion! Lovely!

The magnet is a brilliant idea. I was going to get a large one and install it somewhere on the floor because I am tired of crawling around picking up needles that I tend to drop, um, everywhere! Thanks for hosting us!

Magnets hey? That head of yours is very clever. Look forward to seeing the result.
I say mix it up, us crafty girls have short attention spans I think. We need to keep it exciting.
Have a great day!
Look out for the howling winds, I'm so afraid to go outside.

You can never have enough pincushions, I say. Sometimes you just have to reward yourself with a break. But, get back to the white now!

oh boo about your computer problems. my laptop crashed and burned recently, and i was fortunate enough to have someone be able to pick it up and rescue most thigns. however one of the up-sides is that put back together without all the rubbish on it – its runs much faster these days.
hope you get your computer things sorted soon…

Project monogamy is a foreign concept, especially when a project takes longer than about one hour!
Have fun with the handpiecing, though. It can be very soothing when you get into the swing of things!
