Bloggy backlog...or is that bloggers block?

Sounds painful?!  I think I might be suffering from this!    I'm not talking about reading blogs because although I LOVE reading blogs I seem to be continually behind on catching up with other people's happenings...  nope, this is about my inability to get a blog post out!

I've got so much stuff to talk about....For starters there's the Liebster awards and bloggy "tag" (totally missed the boat on this one), then there's wedding dress progress - I have THE fabric (!) and the invites, handmade by me too.  And then there's a few final blocks that I stitched for Bee Europa, plus a string cushion that I'm just finishing...and I really really need to show you all the wonderful foody blocks I've got from the fabby Brit Bee ladies.....oh, and did I mention that Felix has finally got a few words (so cute), James stepped on a rusty nail (serious ouch moment) , and I've joined the Wonky WI?! 

It dawned on me that my new years resolution was to blog more frequently, but shorter posts...a task that I have so far spectacularly failed on.

It's never too late to start though..so here goes with the first of my shorter, speedier bloggy witterings..

I give you three blocks for three months in Bee Europa.  It's been great but I'm ducking out now, due to my inability to keep up.



Particularly loving this spiders web and learning that you don't need seam allowances on the outer edge of selvedges (I wondered how people using selvedges didn't lose the text in the seam allowance!)  I am now inspired to start saving my selvedges properly (in long lengths and with an inch of print above the selvedge) so I can make something like this for meeeeee :)

Back soon, I promise!
