Time for a change

This month my website has decided to go off sick. Bits are feeling poorly and other bits seem to be having a month away.... it has gone off to bed with the duvet over it's head, will not get up in the mornings and it has no intention of being helpful when I try to fix it!! Grrr, so now I have to become a web designer, which is a slow and painful process for me.....

Once I started thinking about a new website though, I quickly got enthusiastic, thanks to my lovely son-in-law who helped me with lots of ideas. Now it is just a question of finding the photos I need for each page and there I have to confess to woefully inadequent filing, indeed, no filing system at all for digital prints.... You know what it like when you think 'One rainy day I will sit at the computer and label, sort and file all my photos so I can find them easily but right now I'd rather be quilting' ? Well that's the problem, and now my chickens are throughly home to roost with that one!! Anyway, it will be sorted eventually and then I will have a shiny new up to date site with loads of pictures and some new text.

In the meantime I can still be contacted through the website contact page, and here is the link:   www.greenstarquilts.com/page9.htm

Daughter is home from Norway with her Viking and has ideas for making picture hangings. They will have a Northern theme and will all be A4 size. It is such fun designing something so small and the Bond-a-Web sticky web stuff you iron on has been in full use. This is where we have got to so far.....

I am delighted with the Northern Lights fabric which is designed by Timeless Treasures. Next will be a sledge and a husky dog with more Northern lights. It is a lovely project and it will use all sorts of scraps up. It is also something we can do at a distance as she will be back in north Norway for the winter, training sled dogs. Where she is working is so so beautiful, my fabric pictures can't do it justice. You can see it here and no that is not her Viking! Goodness I miss her so much but she is very happy there.

That's all for this week, our garden is strewn with twigs and even a few branches from the huge gales here, I am amazed that some of our trees are still standing, but the sun is shining and I must go out with a rake. It is cold in the evenings now and we are lighting the log burner although I am still wildly hoping for an Indian summer. It's not quite time for woolly tights yet!

I hope you have a lovely week dear readers, thank you for visiting,

Kind regards,
Sue
