I think it's because of the Easter holidays though, so I have an excuse.
Seriously though I just spent the last two weeks chillin at home with the girls.
I admit to being ultra lazy & slothful & I don't really care heh heh!!!!
It was a sweet break.
I did do a little bit of crafting, not a lot, but a wee bit, so at least I
have something to show for myself.
A few more grannies, patchwork ones, not the cute crochet type
One of these days they will magically become a quilt, soon, I promise.
I'm determined to do lots of work this week, really I am!!!!!!
A lil project with this beauty
Picked it up for E1.50 in the church thrift shop, cute eh!!!!!
Here's the after......
Amazing what a lick of paint can do & number two......
Forgot to take a before of this one, needless to say I def prefer both of them now!!!
The highlight of our hols was Laurens birthday.
We all went for afternoon tea at the prettiest tea rooms in a village not far from us in Quin
Had a yummy lunch
And some fun time together
Sweeties!!!!!
Another sweetie.....couldn't get one of Beth....no way she would not have it!!!!
SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XXXXX
Have a great weekend
See you soon
Lots of love Karen x

I was wondering where you were off to. I hope you enjoyed your time away. Your granny squares are so pretty, I can't wait to see them all come together. Have a great weekend. Patty
ReplyDeleteHey - welcome back! Your quilt blocks are coming along well. Can't wait to see the finished project! I love High Tea. I wish it was still our custom in our busy world. More people could use the relaxation!
ReplyDeleteGreetings from a very windy, and rainy California, USA. I love your lamp you picked up at the thrift! Love your blocks. And loved your previous post on your projects too.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend!!!

Hi Karen, I love your patchwork blocks, I wish I could do it but I don't think I have the patience. I love your lamp revamps too! I hope you have a lovely weekend. Love Katie x
ReplyDeleteSometimes we all need a bit of down time with family or loved ones... sounds like you have had a lovely chilled Easter holiday so far! Those patchwork blocks are so pretty, looking forward to seeing them made up into quilt form! Great lamp makeovers too, I wouldn't know where to start with such a project but they look fab! Have a nice rest of your weekend, Jenny x

ReplyDeleteLovely day out and a belated happy birthday to your daughter,Lauren.What a lovely afternoon tea,looks yummy!
Take care,love juliexoxoxo
your blocks are gorgeous as are the lamps : )
ReplyDeleteYep! Slothful. That's me. I accomplish so much on the weekends. But during the week, forget about it! It's great sometimes just to hang out and be, not always doing. A birthday tea sounds delightful. Hope your day is wonderful. Tammy
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect relaxing holiday to me! Gorgeous quilt and fab lamp makeover!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely - great photos - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteDitto! School holidays here and anything to do with blogs has been ignored for too long. Kind of nice in a way though! What a lovely post - your lamps are amazing, the gorgeous tea treats are making me hungry and your quilt squares are as always, stunning!!
ReplyDeleteHave to tell you too that I repainted my spare room yesterday, bought a new duvet cover and your beautiful, beautiful cushion is now pride of place on the bed. It look fantastic! I had always intended for it to go either on the bed or on a chair, so it was adorable to hear my husband yesterday suggesting we should put it on the bed because he loved it so much!!! Owwwww. Once my new curtains arrive I will make sure I send you a piccie. Couldn't do it now with the blimmin' horrid ones hanging in there at the moment!!! Ick.
Have a fabulous week hon.
