The End of a Blogging Month

Today is the last day of November. I have posted every day for the entire month! Yeah, I know! I can barely believe it myself. From now on I will post only when I have something really important to tell you.

And not only is November coming to an end, it was also the last get together of our mini quilt group. We exchanged cookies. Don't they look yummy?

After our cookie exchange, we went out to a local restaurant for lunch. And, yes, I ate way too much. I don't think I have room for even one cookie.

Also, I should be posting my clamshell progress for this month, but I haven't made any. Not even one clamshell! Too much has been going on around here. I have put the clamshells on my list and hope to get back to them soon.

A Clamshell Update

The summer is coming to an end, although you'd never know it by the weather. We are in the middle of another heatwave. It is only 10:00am and it already feels like 40C! This is unusual for the end of August.





I only got a few clamshells done this month. Here they are. Click on the icon above to see more clamshell blogs.


We had the first executive meeting of our quilt guild last night. I got roped in volunteered to do the Newsletter this year. The only problem is that my computer is not cooperating. I have had several people come over and try to install the program, but so far I have had no luck. I thought the problem lay with me, but it seems that my computer's disk drives are not working. I may have to break down and buy a new computer.

Time for a Clamshell Club Update

Can you believe it? It's the end of July already! That means it's time for an update of the Clamshell Club. I have decided to make a bag with my clamshells - a project that is not too big, nor too small. Since I am using my Kaffe fabrics and an assortment of Japanese prints, it has given me a chance to take a close look at the fabrics I have collected up until now. I seem to have a lot of dark colours, but almost no lights. I wanted to do a row of light clamshells between the other rows.

I am not sure if I am getting the effect I wanted, but this is what I have so far. I have only sewn three rows of clamshells together, but they signify at least six rows because I have had to unsew many times. Well, back to the drawing board for me. Hopefully I will have more to show next month.

I should also update you on seeing the Jersey Boys a couple of nights ago. They were fantastic! I loved every minute of the show. Their performance was a little loud, but then I am getting a little older. There were a lot of bad words, but I can handle those. LOL. All in all a terrific performance! Our Japanese visitors did not understand much of it, but they loved the music and bought a program and a CD so they can 'study' it. Gosh those girls are cute. They are so dedicated and hard working. They left yesterday and I miss them already.
