I do know I am disappointed in not hearing from some people. I feel a little let down by that, it is a fact of human nature though, that people say things and then don't see them through. I have been guilty in the past myself of that. I am getting better though. I may be late in answering people - re emails etc - but I DO get there in the end. It's the feeling of being totally ignored, I don't like.
I have just answered my lovely little Liverpool lass, Susan, she sent me an email a while ago and I have just got round to replying to it. She knows I am always slow at this. If I don't have anything to say, what is the point of sending a boring email? So I wait until I do, then she gets a fairly longish one. As do my other lovely people who HAVE stayed with me, through thick and thin. YOU know who you are, don't you.
I am going to try in the NEW YEAR - gosh that is getting closer by the minute - to be more organised with my time and use of it. If anyone has a brilliant plan out there. Do let me share it.
I had an email earlier from Leah, the Quilt she won in my give away has arrived for her, and she likes it. Phew! That's a relief. I do hope she will make use of it, whether as a Quilt for her, her children or her pets I really don't mind. A quilt should be used, it should get dirty and stained, what does it matter? A quilt that is used is a sign the person loves that item, a quilt that is locked away in a cupboard or whatever, is a sad quilt I feel. This is why I only make what I consider would be called - Utility quilts - what the heck, I use all of my quilts, be it on the wall, the bed, the floor, for Rebecca to play on, in the garden as a tent or just thrown on the grass in the summer -hahaha if we get any!!- just to lay on. Use it Leah, to please me. :-)
The package I sent to Noel, still hasn't arrived. I really hope it does eventually cos I know she is going to like what is inside. If she hasn't received it by the end of this week I shall trip over to the PO and see if I can do a trace on it. I have another almost ready for sending but cannot decide whether to wait til after the Christmas rush has passed.
OK, I know I have used the same picture 12 times! I love Poinsettias, don't you, they are really Christmassy. I still have mine that Annette bought me last year. It grows more leaves, but has never flowered after its first flush. I just cant bear to throw it away though. It may surprise me one day and flower like this picture!!!!! I can dream. Wouldn't this be great as a hedge round your garden? Now I am in cloud cuckoo land. AND, YES, I know, its actually 13 times.

A pointsettia hedge would indeed be lovely. Thanks for posting the pictures.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree quilts are to be enjoyed! Touched, held, cuddled in, hung, etc.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get those letters you are waiting for.
Janet all of us here love the quilt! Even my kids oohed and aaahed over it when I pulled it out of the package. :) Right now it is on the end of my bed so my hubby and kids can snuggle under it when they read books together at night. After Christmas I plan to move it to the family room sofa where we can use it while we watch TV in the evenings. (There is a Christmas throw there now.)
ReplyDeleteI feel like you, quilts should be used, felt, caressed, loved, and worn out. :) That is how I make my quilts, with the intention of being used. Thanks again for sending the quilt. It will get lots of use in this house. :)
Hugs,
Leah
Hi Jan, I know what you mean about time. I have 4 Christmas quilt tops done but need to add batt and quilt and I am not in the mood. Seems I am behind on so many things, and instead of getting my butt in gear like I know I should, I am doing a double dose of procrastinating! I'm vacuuuming, doing laundry, scrubbing sinks, anything to stay away from the sewing machine. Why is that? Am I the only one who does that? Oh phooey.

Hi Phyllis,
ReplyDeleteI can just see it in my garden, could thing I have a vivid imagination!! :-)
Hi Lynn,
Just had a message from my daughter, she has just read this post, and says, don't bother waiting mum, you have got us, what more do you need? Ahhhhhh. I am moving on as of this minute. If I get replies I get them if I don't --life goes on. I also have all of you lovely ladies who write via my Blog. For which I thank you all dearly. :-))
Hi Leah,
I just knew it went to the right person, I hope it gets very dirty indeed!
Yes I have my Christmas things out now, so all the other bits have gone away. I have loved umpacking all the bits and pieces for Christmas. Took me all morning and then some to make my 'ski slope'.
Hi there Sue c/a
Lovely to hear from you. Come on now Sue, get back to your sewing, you will enjoy it when you do. I am about to put a tutorial on for making a bag - my way - of course. Maybe that will give you the push you need. lol
Thank you ladies for your comments, I do appreciate them Lol to you all. :-)
Phew went all hot and cold just then, I pressed the wrong key and all this disappeared. ARGH!!!
