Just a quickie today.....
These are the pink puffs for the centre of my latest play mat.
I am waiting for the other fabric to arrive so I decided to make the ones that I had fabric for.
They will mix and match with 16 more in the other fabric/colour ways and then I join them together by machine before setting them into the quilt.
Thanks to all who sent me lovely birthday messages.
I had a quiet day - I just didn't fancy going out into what appears to be a Covid increasing local life.
We had a socially distanced coffee with friends and family here - 3 different events on 3 days!!
I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe.
xx Jo
Did I miss your birthday? If so belated birthday greetings. So glad you had a nice extended birthday.
ReplyDeleteLove the puffs, this is going to be a lovely play mat and something so different from the normal matinee coat that people make.
Stay safe and well my lovely

I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday, sometimes the quieter ones with your loved ones are the best - mine certainly was this year. The pink puffs still make me chuckle, infantile, I know.....can't help it though.

ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to you - I don't blame you having a quiet one this year, it's still so uncertain out there. I'm intrigued by the pink puffs, I can't quite visualise what you will be doing with them but I'm looking forward to seeing the finished play mat.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week, stay safe and well,

ReplyDeleteI like your little pink puffs ~ They will make another fun play mat. Sounds smart to enjoy 3 smaller events then one large one ~ Glad you enjoyed your company and you birthday ~ Love, Karen#33
ReplyDeleteOh sorry I missed your birthday! I honestly don't blame you for not going out, it just doesn't seem worth the risk to me. Quite like a socially distant coffee though!! The little puffs look interesting, it's good to get on with what you've got sometimes instead of waiting till all your ducks are in a row! Happy WOYWW, stay well, stay safe, Cindy #13 xx
ReplyDeleteThose pink puffs will be very cosy to lie on, i'm looking forward to seeing the finished play mat. Each day presents us with something different I don't blame you for having a quieter Birthday, there will be plenty of celebrations to come when all is safer. Take care & Happy belated WoywW Tracey #6 x
ReplyDeleteHi Jo, sounds like you made the best of your birthday given these trying times. It's still nice to have coffee with friends no matter that it's socially distanced. Your puffs are lovely - 16 different fabrics/colours is going to be very attractive to a child. Coincidentally, my daughter started to make a quilt with puffs this week. Have a good week. Hugs, Ellie x #26

Happy belated birthday, Jo. Your little puffs are sweet! It's going to e a fun blanket. Thank you for your visit and I'm glad you like the progress on the needle books. As for the lifestyle (I prefer that to "diet") doing the research is essential, I think, so you understand how it works. I first became interested in nutrition after my colon cancer, and the interest increased after I had a serious post-operative infection later on and got interested in the gut microbiome after I had to take such massive doses of antibiotics. It kind of escalated from there and I have found it a fascinating journey with excellent fruits (pun intended!) along the way!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated WOYWW,
