UFO's of a different kind

I'm jumping all over the place at the moment with what I am working on.  The plus side of having so many UFO's, I guess.

Remember these?

I decided that as it was 45 degrees (again, third day in a row but who's counting??) it was all I could do to just sew strips.  So I got quite a lot done, given it was 45 degrees.  Did I mention it was 45 degrees?  It's actually been a record heat wave here in South Australia and it's NOT FUN.

 I only have a couple more blocks to stitch which I hope to do today.  We'll see what the day brings though.  It's Australia Day today, I should be feeling more patriotic but not so much.  Just all worn out in general really.

Other than sewing, we have had our week filled with appointments for haircuts, new school clothes, picking up school books - all those sorts of things that the last week before school brings.  Eldest goes back on Tuesday, youngest on Wednesday and just like that, the school holidays are gone.  I'll miss them, to be honest.  It's been lovely to just do nothing and plan nothing and wear daggy clothes with no waistbands.  From Monday it's back on the diet and the walking and the getting myself in shape agenda, which is no fun at all.  But totally necessary.  

I hope you're all well, not too hot, not too cold.  We keep waiting for some sort of cool change to arrive but none yet - so until then I shall continue to stay inside in the cool.  

Happy quilting!
