1,000 Blog posts and the end of the year December 31st, 2009

This is my 1,000th blog post which is quite a satisfying number to end a year on…

Looking back on the year I have just read my new years resolution for 2009 from which I quote

…So what to resolve to do, I have had lots of thoughts of grand things that I would love to achieve but I think that a resolution has to be doable, if it has any chance of being kept, so I thought a bit more about the more modest things that I would like to achieve, amongst them is a project that is well started but untouched for more than a year, I do think that it is time it was finished and I hereby resolve to FINISH my Crazy Quilted Box Top before the end of 2009.

well I failed miserably at my resolution to finish my Box Top (I did get off to a good start covering 5 seams by the 15th January but then didn’t touch it for the rest of the year) but I can’t be to dissappointed with not achieving my resolved goal because I have actually achieved doing a few of those grand things that I had thought undoable and I am finishing the year feeling stronger and more content than I started it.

I have now to decide what I would like to achieve in 2010

I wish for A HAPPY, PRODUCTIVE, PEACEFUL NEW YEAR for EVERYONE

My Band Sampler 176 – Details 981 to 983 – Starting a new Panel December 30th, 2009

Sampler panel 9 details 983 cadfael cover I have already used this design twice, I thought that it would look good on a black background and a new panel was a good opportunity to try it…so the new panel is Black…I stayed with the medieval them and did an illuminated P for the Panel number and followed that up with the design of another Cadfael cover.

Castle Update December 28th, 2009

View of my castle from the street

It is a very long time, like almost a year, since I have done a Castle progress update and the photos don’t show much progress but that is probably not surprising when I think that I can only work on it when it is not raining, not to cold, not to hot and I have no other commitments and I mix the mortar by hand in small batches and my hands can only do 2 batches at a time that is about 10 bricks a day, oh well castles take a long time to build and mine is no different…even though there is not a lot of visual progress on the actual castle the garden around it is much neater and looking pretty good despite the doaught conditions.
