Me and Little Miss Sensible spent the morning photographing the huge pile of Squishes I received around Christmas, and didn't blog because I was ill (and busy with Christmas). It took ages and I ended up with an aching back as I kept bending over to take the photos. We then started to blog the Squishes on my two OHGWQ blogs. We decided to use LMS's laptop so we could sit in the lounge and listen to girlie music on one of the TV's music channels, and we could wail along without disturbing Mr Messy who was working on his final OU essay of this course. We had a great time :-) It took ages though, as LMS's laptop somehow made the formatting of the Blog posts a bit different. We managed to Blog about a quarter of the Squishes - we'll have to work on the rest over the weekend.
When Mr Messy had finished his essay, me and him set off for OU HQ in Milton Keynes!! The essay was due in on Friday and he would fail his course if he didn't submit it!! Talk about leaving it till the last minute!!! LMS agreed to pick Little Prince up from school and look after him until we got back, so me and Mr Messy could spend some time together. With three kids (4 if you count Fraulein) you have to take your opportunities whenever they pop up lol. We listened to the radio and chatted all the way there, had our tea together at a motorway services (highly romantic lol) on the way home. And even had time to stop off at a shop to buy the kids some chocolate on the way home.
Once we were home and Little Prince was asleep, LMS started to play on the piano. She has taken the fact that it is going a LOT harder than I ever thought she would. If I had realised how strongly she felt about it I wouldn't have decided to get rid of it, however, the deed is done and the pick up is arranged for Saturday morning!

I also have about 10 squares to take pictures and post, they soon mount up. In your case I think you dont want to post them as when you have 100 to have got to start sewing lol:). Just kidding your quilts will be beautiful. I just hope our children appreciate all the effort!
Love S
Has LMS forgiven you yet?
I hadn't realised I had so many!! Oh no I have to start sewing!! Arrgh I thought it would be ages before I had to do the scary bit lol!!!!
Of course the kids won't appreciate our efforts - not until they are old enough to realise how much work went into it, so probably once they are grown up themselves lol.
I'm not sure LMS will ever forgive me!! I'm just on tenterhooks waiting for them to return from London and start shouting at me!!! Wish I'd never thought of getting rid of the darn thing!!!
Love
Janet
