I have been wandering in Southern Ireland for the past week and just got back yesterday. Today has been a super lazy day and I am not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow! Monday mornings are always even worse after time off! :)
I have lots to catch up on it seems in blogland! Lots to read in my google reader! But I am armed with my brew and biscuits so I am all set to nose through for an hour before sleep becomes inevitable!
The one thing I have done today it to complete the binding on Tilly...
I started and got halfway through the binding before I left for Ireland and finished stitching it down before tea tonight. I love it! I purposely cut it on the bias to make it magically stripy! Thanks to Julie for the tutorial!
I know she is mug rug sized but to be honest I still don't really get the mug rug craze.. I get that they are quick and small which makes them great, and don't get me wrong I have seen some beautiful ones on numerous blogs! The part I don't get is when it comes to me putting my brew on it (which will obviously dribble and spill because I am me!) and making it all tea splattered! So Tilly is destined to eventually end up on the wall with my BQS quilt when I eventually get my room or my sewing room back, right now either would do lol!

Tilly is way too cute to be covered over with a mug of tea! Hope you had fun in the Emerald Isle and got to see some sunshine! Jxo
