More Blocks!!

Just a short post tonight to say that my 'Civil War Diary'books still haven't arrived (!!) but I have managed another 4 blocks courtesy of postings on the Sew Many Blocks Blog Ring ! These really MUST be the last for a few days I have so much else to get on with - they are just so addictive though !

The block in the top LH corner is actually wrong (!) it should have been made up in 3 colours, but I have to admit I quite like it the way it is, so if it doesn't offend anyone , I think I will keep it! I should also be naming the blocks and I will correct this once my books arrive and I know what they are!!

Megan continues to improve but is still a bit twitchy about letting you touch the leg ,making it a problem to clean it and apply a new dressing. We bought her some herbal 'sweeties' today as a bribe to get her to stand still - she does so love them and she tries to nuzzle her way into your pocket to fish them out !! Well - its one way to take her mind off me poking about her leg!!! Actually, she is very patient with me !! William is also a little under the weather after his booster jabs and is sleeping a great deal, always a little worrying as normally he races around the place like a rocket, but I am sure he'll be back to his usual self tomorrow !

I also found a lovely box in Rennes today - couldn't resist it ! This is the top, but it opens up into a cute little work box with a sliding tray complete with compartments to hold all the 'fiddly' bits !!

I really must learn to take photos that come out in perspective !! It is different though. itsn't it ?

There is no right or wrong - do the blocks however you like them best! You live in a beautiful area! Your pictures look like postcards.

Your blocks look great! I joined in on the fun today and ordered my book. I am going to wait until my book arrives to begin - I think! It may depend on how long it takes Mr. Postmas to bring my book to me!
