Productive long weekend

Well gee whizz 2 posts in one day...
Don't you just love a productive long weekend?I sure do...
This weekend I have pretty much been glued to my sewing stool..and in the kitchen by choice.
I have baked and sewed and baked and sewed....
Firstly Sunday I started to make my pincushion for the secret pincushion partner swap on Lindas Blog and yeah I finished it..but alas I can't show a photo yet-my secret partner might see it and that would ruin the surprise.



I baked a batch of Gluten Free choc chip cookies yummo!Recipe found on Gluten Free Girl blog



Then I made a Gluten Free sticky date pudding hmmmmm! I just replaced certain ingdts with gluten free and it was a success...Recipe found on Jo-da-Chef Blog.

And I also made some Frikadella balls..hmm man they are divine.Recipe Gluten Free Girl Blog.

Today being a public holiday so no go too work yipeeee.

Now you didn't think I was going to show you a full pic did you?

I have made my ninepatch blocks -done in the colours of chosen by other swappers -for the swap in the yahoo group C-R-A-F-T..yeah they are now finished in plenty of time.

I then caught up on my BOM Christmas Wishes by Debbie Mumm,actually I don't think I've mentioned before that I am doing this one-well it's fun and easy,there is some piddly bits but overall I am enjoying it.I am not using the same fabrics as shown but rather what I had in my stash although I did have to go blue(cause I have no blue eeek)..



Block 1 ,2 and 3.



Block 4,5,6 and 7.



Now I feel quite chuffed that I have got so much done,bummer my arm is aching like heck-but truly I am just getting used to having it ache...

I also have nearly finished the challenge project from a Yahoo group patchNquilt which I posted a snippit of in an earlier post..
I have added a thin pink border and I outlined / quilted just inside all the grey blocks,will post a pic when done.

Off now to get the Chicken Casserole started, hope you all had a great weekend.

Cheers Vickie

Vickie, thanks for dropping by my blog. I love your Christmas blocks - what beautiful vibrant colors! How cool to know someone on the other side of the world is making the same blocks I am! I'll check back as the year progresses and see the finished product. Have a great day!
