Goodbye 2025

Well 2025 had a few more events to make life memorable, including emergency surgery for eldest son to remove his gall bladder and Matt having to spend a night bogged in a claypan in the desert (which he now says is an inland sea because of all the flooding rains they've had) until he could be rescued next morning. It would be nice if 2026 was peaceful, happy and with no major upheavals unless it's me winning the lottery.

I spent a week setting a pile of happy blocks into tops. 

Some of these might get borders, but I haven't decided yet. There were 150 of these super simple blocks sitting in a box and some are still left.

I wasn't too sure about the really bright colours, they're not my style at all, but I enjoyed working with them.

My repro fabrics are calling me though, and I think I'll have to pick up one of my 'good' projects and play with my browns and pinks and cheddars for a while.
