Miserable here today...rained and rained! More house inspections...feeling a bit violated with so many people tramping through my home...including a nosy neighbour (rude!)...I think buying a house brings out the worst in people...hope it is all over soon!
Need to focus on some jobs, but there always seems to be phone calls, house decisions, blah, blah, blah! So, despite having other stuff "needing" to be done,
I thought I might have a play with these gems...
take a pic of a baby quilt I made for some dear friends nearly due niece (a pattern from Moda Bakeshop)...
and show you the little quilt I made for another baby girl from a pattern by Kate.
So you can have an update, here are some pics of the house...
a happy hubby...
George looking for my lost marbles (why am I doing such a big reno??)...
and my very not private ensuite....I am sure if a wall doesn't go up soon there will be mass hysteria and people poking out their own eyes!!!!! They will only look once!
But lovely to see it all coming together.

Good luck with the renovations, looks like a huge job. I love that top quilt, I may need to make something similar!
ReplyDeletelovely finishes Alison and boy lots of extra room for you when these reno's are finished.xx
ReplyDeleteGood luck with everything! We had some nosey neighbors when we were selling our house, too. People can be so cheeky!
ReplyDeleteLOVE that quilt top!
I'd never dare be a nosy neighbour like that, how cheeky. I hope you see the end of the strangers soon. Loving your octagons of course and the darling baby quilt. I hope the renos go fast and you get some sun soon.
ReplyDeleteHay Cardy....The house looks GREAT!.. Nice and straight.The boys will have it back together in no time for you!!
ReplyDeleteDid he find your marbles? Xx
ReplyDeleteOh the reno looks exciting. Love those in progress shots, especially in hindsight! I have never made anything white, but gee Kate's designs are tempting. Lovely baby quilts.
ReplyDeleteSuch a FuN post this was... grinned all the way thru!!!
ReplyDeleteIt won't be long and you'll be inside all nice and cosy!
Exciting :)
I'm glad you found an escape in some stitching. Lovely results. All the effort of the renovations will be worth it when you get into you new home. Hopefully one of those strangers will buy your house soon. Did those marbles turn up, or are they still missing in action?
ReplyDeletewe have yet to put our house on the market - not looking forward to that!
ReplyDeleteThose quilts are gorgeous - love Kate Conklin designs!
i'm sure you will be in your new house in no time and all this will be over..............
ReplyDeleteDid you find those marbles, Cardy?....I love your bright quilts and especially the baby one...just lovely with the white.......renos look like they're in full swing, it will be over one day and you'll be happy and think it was all worth it.......see you very soon....
ReplyDeleteI am sure your marbles will turn up soon....or not...LOL nice finishes! I am sure the house will sell soon....gotta love the cheek of some people who just come thru for a sticky beak.....nice pics of the renos!
ReplyDeleteYour renovations look really exciting. It's going to look great when it's finished. Lots to look forward to.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoyed playing with your 'gems'. Real eye candy... gorgeous. Love the baby quilts too.
You have the right idea to bring out the quilting as a stress release. Moving and remodeling takes a lot of emotional energy.
ReplyDeleteTell me again the name of the pattern with the hexagons.
I hope your house sells soon so you don't have to have people in and out for very long. Have fun with the renovation- how fun to get everything just like you want it!
ReplyDeleteAt least you have some gorgeous projects on the go to keep your mind of all the yukkiness..
ReplyDeleteI may just steal a couple of those ideas for future quilts.
Some gorgeous goodies there Alison and there's good progress on the renovations. Good luck with the wall building.
ReplyDeleteCardy.. I lost my marbles years ago... LOVE your quilts.. I do love all that you make...
ReplyDeleteWith a bathroom like yours... at least you don't need any air fresher....lol

Found your marbles yet Cardy? Love your post, seeing what you are working on is inspiring, and seeing your house reno pics are fabulous, but I hope you get a private ensuite fast!!! xo
ReplyDeleteGood luck with both the house sale and the reno. I can totally sympathise with you about complete strangers nosing through your house.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the pics of the renovation, it's great seeing the progress.
Love your moda bake shop quilt
ReplyDeleteLove the baby quilts and I bt you are looking forward to all the renos being finished!
