I started with the right idea...

So I woke up today with the intention of having a duvet day! Two days of gardening had wiped me out!  This is what I had in mind...

Sadly, somehow I was compelled by some evil force to sit down in front of the boy's toy shelves and start sorting...it all went downhill from there.  I am rubbish at culling toys which is what is sorely needed, i'm just too soft I guess.  But I tried my hardest and have completed Stage One, which inclulded
*all broken or McD toys thrown away
*any toy that drives me crazy, in donate bag
*all toys sorted into correct drawers and grouped in gallon ziplock bags
*outgrown toys, in donate bag
*all train toys bagged up to be moved into their bedroom

There is still more work to do, but at least it's all tidy... 

On a much more exciting note I've become a bit obsessed with hexagons!
These are the colours I'm working with to make a patchwork pillow for my living room and I'm also very excited to make a Red, white and blue one for the Jubilee
I go to a craft club at my church and last week we were so lucky to have Tracy from Mad About Bags give us a tutorial on the hexagons and a lovely patchwork pillow.  She is an amazingly inspirational and talented lady and can't wait to welcome her back next month!

I'm blogging from my bed

Ok, so maybe that's more info than you needed, but.. I've just added the blogger app to my phone and I'm testing it out easing around with it). At least untill my battery runs out, currently at 7% so you won't need to listen to me rattle on to much.

Wow I can even add pictures too! Very impressed so far, only down side is typing speed severely limited by IPhone keypad, but hopefully this will help me be more consistent with my blogging as I won't always have to wait until I can sit down at the laptop.

I have been sewing hexagons for a new patchwork pillow we're making at Craft Club. Absolutely loving them...eek 5% better sign off for tonight. See ya soon
