The Battys Have Gone!

Part I of The Battys
Do any of you remember my visitors the Battys?  They came in late July and NEVER LEFT.  I don't think they had ever heard the old adage about visitors, fish and smelling after a few days.  Anyway, two of them left yesterday, and you'll be pleased to know that your favourite correspondent was there to record it all.
Norah, Little Red and Blondie bathed before leaving for their new home.
Blondie always spends forever in the shower, which is really irritating.

Today I swear I'm not doing anything!

Okay, I know that I have been musically left behind in the 80s, a New Romantic at heart (pass me a ruffled shirt), so I am always the last to find out about some fun song.  Whilst in France I heard this song EVERY day at least once and fell in love with it.  Of course my Mojo and Uncut reading, keep up with the music husband knew it, so why had he never told me?  

For those of you who don't know it, you just have to listen to The Lazy Song.  We all have those days.  We while away the time doing absolutely nothing, and happily fill the day that way.  Today for various reasons, became one of those days for me.  I sat in front of YouTube (what better way to do nothing), and ended up hooked on watching different versions of this song.  I ended up in fits of laughter and then bought the song from i-tunes.  There were far more versions, but I have selected a few for you to find one to love.

Go on, have fun with them all.  I promise it will cheer your day up no end!
I JUST POSTED THIS & THEN REALISED THAT YOU CAN'T PLAY ANY EXCEPT THE LAST DVD, WHICH IS CENSORED FOR SOME REASON, SO JUST HIT THE LINKS I HAVE POSTED UNDERNEATH.  SORRY!

More Quilts

When we decided to rent our house in France way back in 2004, I made a few quilts to decorate the house and added one I made the previous year.  I honestly thought they wouldn't survive, what with children touching them etc.  However, apart from needing a good shake to get the fluff off, they are fine.

I made this quilt in April 2003.  I had purchased some variegated, fusible bias tape and wanted to play with it.  I wasn't into the celtic design quits that it was generally used for, but adaption is everything, right?
