Preparations

I am juggling so many balls at the moment that I feel that the whole lot will come down on top of me!!

Firstly I have started to clear out the very small third bedroom to turn it into my workroom that has involved a great deal of searching the 'net' to get ideas and ensure that I get the best possible price.  My first purchases have been a Z-bed and a small two door cupboard.  The Z-bed only needed castors fitting and I was able to wheel it out of the way.  I must point out that I am not a novice when putting flat pack together and the cupboard was slightly more problematic and everything was going brilliantly until I put the doors on.  When closed they overlapped so back to the instructions to see what to do - undo some screws.  OK, one door sorted but the other one fell off and after an hour trying to get it back on, I GAVE UP!!!  And that is how it has remained; one door on and one door off; but in the meantime the suppliers have sent some more hinges, I have put my cordless screwdriver on a charge and as soon as I get a moment I will have another go!!

Two 'before' photos -

The quilt is now stored and the toys put to one side

The shelves have been cleared and this furniture will be broken up-

 In the meantime I have been getting 'stuff' together for the Exhibition (see last week's blog)

When you realise how much has been made in the last two years, it is actually quite a lot.

I have baked a carrot cake for the Refreshments and am about to make an Orange cake as I have a little time to spare.

The carrot cake needs to be iced with cream cheese

Oh and finally a sneak peek of the 'Mini Mania Log cabin quilt' that I finished during the week and will be needed to show next week.

The green square is a quarter inch square

Now can I lie down  in a darkened room until Saturday morning when I will be taking the admission money for the Exhibition?  Let's hope that I take lots as everything made will go to charity.  I can't of course, as I have smocking class in the morning

See you at the Exhibition!!!
