Have I mentioned that I don’t like housework????

I bet I have ….. it really is a pain!!! I’ve just finished one of the yukkiest jobs there is. Cleaning the oven. Don’t bother scrolling down cos I didn’t take a piccy …. oh no, I wouldn’t do that to you LOL {{{blechhh}}}. My friend told me that you can actually pay a guy to come out and do it for you ~ that’s all he does, he cleans ovens!!! I have to wonder who on earth would want to do that all day everyday?? Maybe I should start saving now so that he can come and do mine next time ;o)!!! I must admit though, my oven does look lovely now that it’s all sparkly clean. Maybe I’ll just stop cooking he he he, then it won’t get dirty again.

Now that I’ve done that most unpleasant job I can show you what I found in the newsagent the other day …. Nice magazine …. but wait ….. what’s that teeny tiny piccy in the bottom left hand corner (no … NOT the barcode ~ NEXT to the barcode)??? Well it looks like my “Daisy Knot” bag!!!! Hang on, I know it’s hard to see. How’s this…….. He he … yep, that’s my “Daisy Knot” bag :o) *VBG*!!! This pattern was published in Country Threads a couple of years ago (or more???) so it was quite a thrill to see it in a magazine again ~ and on the cover no less :o)!! WooHoo!! Don’t they take gorgeous piccies!!!

I’m off to do some stitching now … I think I’ve earned it ;o).

Have you been over to the Among the Gumtrees blog today??? Pop on over and have a look ... my new freebie is there for you to download and the February newsletter is out too so that you can catch up on what we've all been doing throughout January.
Here's my design for you ... it's called "Where's the Remote???". A super armchair caddy for you to keep all those remotes in, rather than hiding them behind the cushions or under the couch ...... hmmm, or is that just in my house LOL???So quick and easy to make ... and no more searching for the dratted remote lol!!!! He he ... there's no doubt now where the remote should live now :o)!!
I used one of the sweet rolls from the Moda Bakeshop ~ but it's ok if you don't have one, all you'll need is some 1 1/2" strips from your stash, a couple of fat quarters and your binding and batting ;o).Pop on over to the Among the Gumtrees blog where you can download the pattern for FREE!!! And remember, there's a new pattern on the first of each month so be sure to keep an eye out for them :o).
