Ta Daaaaaa :o)!!

Hooray!! Dragonflight (second version) is completed and has been delivered to my local patchwork store Bayside Stitchcraft to hang there throughout July for the Shop Hop!So chuffed with it!!
I think I'll have to change the colour scheme in my bedroom to match it LOL....Here's the back ...Yay ... another finish for July!!! The original Dragonflight is hanging at Country Quilt Co at Ipswich for any Brissy girls that are shop hopping ;o).
Didn't get any stitching done today .... but I did get to the library to pick up a book I had on hold ...I just love this series of novels ... I've enjoyed every one of them :o).
Enjoy your weekend!!!!

I can't believe I did it!!!

I think everyone has a job they have to do every now and then that they really don't like to do, am I right?? Well mine is cleaning the oven (blechhhhh). Possibly the reason that I hate doing it so much is I tend to put it off until it's so darn manky I just HAVE to do it LOLOL. Well, this time I didn't do that!!! Nope, the job is done with barely a whimper :o)!!! I wish I could type a bigger smile there cos I'm REALLY glad it's done he he he. The best part is that I didn't put it off this time, I got to it WELL before it got to that "Oh Nooooo" stage. Look .......He he ..... all sparkly and clean :o)!!! Of course, it goes without saying that I shall NEVER bake, roast or even heat up anything in my nice clean oven again. Oh no, lol, don't want to have to do it again LOLOL. Now, apparently you're supposed to wear rubber gloves when you use that oven cleaner stuff ... I know this because I read it on the can. I possibly should have read that bit BEFORE I started the job though cos that stuff stings like the devil if you get it into even the tiniest of cuts (just a little hint in case you feel like doing your oven too) ..... OUCH .... I'm still sore!!!! I've made a mental note of that for next time he he!!!
On the stitchy front ..... a very successful day :o)!! I've just got the last border ready to go on my second Dragonflight quilt - one is on and the others are cut and quilted and ready to go, then sew on the binding ...... then it's finished!! YAY!!!!!!
If I can get that done today I can sit tonight and do the hand stitching - then it's off to Bayside Stitchcraft with it so it can hang there on show for the Shop Hop :o). When it's done I'll lay it out properly and take a piccy ...... I'm so pleased with it, it's turning out soooo pretty :o).
Think I'd better get started :o)!!!
