Friday Night With Friends

Last Friday night I joined with Cheryll and the girls for Friday Night with Friends….didn’t get much done because it was hubby’s birthday and we all trotted out to dinner! Needless to say he wouldn’t let me take a photo of him, but we did get one of his Dad struggling with his mega-meal! (lucky DS was there to help!)

Some stitching did get done though…..I’m working on some new designs for a wall hanging for a friend’s Vintage Tea Shoppe. I’ve done three and another three to go. Here’s the one I was working on….

… a pretty little vintage bird cage. Can’t wait to get these finished so I can share with you.

In the meantime, pop on over the Cheryll’s and see what everyone else got up to on Friday night……

Technically this Friday night is the third in the month which means it’s FNSI, BUT……seeing as there’s 5 Fridays in this month and last Friday was FNWF, FNSI will be on Friday 23rd this month….I hope you don’t mind?

Let me know what you think…

UFO Challenge: Tuesday Treats

Beginning of the year and the resolutions are at the ready……my Tuesday Treat for you is a simple one…

…resolve to finish one UFO a month…..

Join me again on the APQ UFO Challenge 2016

Simply download the UFO Challenge chart here.

Then fill in twelve projects you want to finish this year. Make sure you fill in the description of where you were up to in the project before you start as well. Here’s mine: (Not much different to last year…..tisk tisk….but this year WILL be different!)

On the first of each month, the good people at APQ will randomly draw a number 1–12. That number will correspond with which number project we’ll be working on throughout the month. For example, Number 2 was randomly drawn out for January, so I’ll be working on my Nice People, Nice Things Quilt. And yes, as an incentive, seeing as it’s already started, you can put whichever UFO you REALLY want to finish in at number 2 so that you can get onto it straight away…..you know you want to!

At the end of each month, we’ll fill in our progress on our Challenge Charts and post pictures for everyone to see on our social media (Facebook, Instagram and Twitter) using the hashtag #APQResolution.

Why not upload the button to your sidebar as a reminder and an encouragement for others too?

By the end of the year, we’ll all have 12 finished projects! Or at least made a significant dent in our stacks of UFOs.

and we’ll have the motivation of everyone online! (and I even have another special motivator for you, but I’ll let you in on that little secret in the next couple of days!)

Can’t wait to pull my first one out of storage and start! What will you begin with?

How to Plan The Perfect 2016–Tuesday Treats

Those that know me know I’m a bit of a Pinterest-nut. So at this pointy end of the year, where we’re all thinking about plans for 2016 and how to make it the best year EVER….I thought I’d share some of my favourite Pinterest pins for our Tuesday Treats…..

We always want to improve ourselves….our diet, our parenting, our health….and the list goes on….. Why not write it down?

Planning on make some new blogging goals for the year?

What about organising the house, room by room? (this is my big one!)

or live life more simply?

Make time for God…..

try a new way of eating….

or refine your skills? You know, the ones you will get to…….tomorrow?

Whatever it is, there’s a huge amount of inspiration you can find here…. why not take a wander and lose yourself for a couple of hours….you’re sure to find enough to work out your very own plan of attack for the most wonderful year ahead ever!

I’d love it if you let me know what treasure you found in my boards….the one that helps you find your perfect year. Is there something you’d like to focus on or learn more about? We could have the perfect year, learning together!

Here’s to 2016 – the best year yet!
