do you have a pattern that you come back to time and time again, because it’s just so great? i have a few, and the ‘library bag’ pattern by leanne of leanne’s house is one of them. i’ve made it for friends, i’ve made it for aunties - and most recently, i made it for one of my teachers:

we’re having a quiet day at home today. exams are over (hurrah!!!), it’s a lovely wintery day, and later this afternoon we are going to take this little beastie to the groomer:

i wonder how she will look once she’s all de-scruffed…

i am working on a big quilting project, and i am really excited about it!

i am using up all my scraps (well, technically, i’m making a scrap pile with much smaller pieces in it!)

when i am finished, there will be 900 of those little squares, all pieced together into the scrappiest quilt in the whole wide world. i’m planning on posting a tutorial when it’s done, so stand by!

twice a year, when i am in the depths of intense study mode (exams in one week! eeek!) i get this song in my head a LOT:

i think it would be lover-lee to sit down on the couch and have a gilmore girls marathon with my friends, i think it would lover-lee to spend more than five minutes at a time time reading the book i am really enjoying at the moment, i think it would be lover-lee to organise my messy fabric stash into lovely neat little piles. the list goes on!

but more than anything i think it would lover-lee to go to bed and just sleeeeeep. pictures of deliciously beautiful beds are making me literally ache with longing at the moment - like this one from adorevintage’s flickr photostream:

i think i could happily curl up in that little nook and snooze for a week! as long as someone brought me breakfast in bed…

maybe i can get away with a few more minutes in my own cosy bed before i hit the books again…
