Farewell Dame Jess

So sad, so so sad. Farewell Dame Jess, you were one of the best. Apparently you went for a nap and didn’t wake up. I’m glad you went like that you deserved a good passing.

Dame Jess was one of Buds original pals on twitter back in the day ... back in the day when folks used twitter for chatting about their dogs. Bud had his own twitter account (still has, don’t judge me ...!) This picture is from Christmas 2012 when i had dreadful flu, Dame Jess came on twitter and said “would you like one of my markies?” Bless her, would do anything for a tennis ball!! Jess you gave so much love and fun and I know Jane will be bereft without you. I am and i never met you, but i will miss the pictures of Jess floofy bum which Jane would DM to cheer me up. You always cheered me up Dame Jess, run free and stop in past Buds tent and tell him i still miss him and love him.

Why dont you?

If you are of my generation *resists urge to do the who impersonation* you may remember a rather irritating (to me anyway) programme called "why don't you" the tag line was why don't you .... Switch off your television sand go and do something less boring instead .... And if you do remember the programme you will now have the very irritating theme tune rumbling about in your head! Sorry!

I saw a conversation on Instagram this week and they people involved both said how much they missed blogging, now I think I know what they mean, they mean the days before Instagram when blogs and Flickr ruled the crafting world.

But part of me thought 'why don't you?' I mean why don't you just blog? And then I thought well why don't I? I don't blog s lot but its cathartic.

So what does all this rambling mean? Not sure, but I'm going to try and get things down on here more often.

First up a rather dodgy (well all my pictures are dodgy ...) shot of the block of the month we are doing at the muckhart quilt group. We are following along the gen X BOM from a few years ago, sisters ten by Anne Marie Chainey. I've got her new book, it's fab.

I decided to do mine in batiks, yep not tres moderne but what the hey. I was never on trend!I am a wee bit distressed at the mo, my recent haircut seems to have killed my curls!! Come back curls I miss yoo!

On a happier note, ma wee pal Rocco came to stay for a long weekend, as you can see he quickly led me astray .... Naughty Rocco :-)
