"Raggedy Anne and Andy makes for a Happy Monday."

Hello,

Happy Monday to you.

The past week has gone.  I couldn't get into anything.  Thankfully this is a new week. I did  finish the blocks for the Raggedy Anne and Andy quilt blocks.

I was debating how to quilt it. I was thinking about quilt-as-you-go. After spending quite sometime on the net looking at the different ways it is done I think I will just go ahead and join the blocks and quilt it normally. I have no more of the black homespun left so will use some cream homespun for the rest of the sashing and have cut out some red squares for the corners.

I changed several of the blocks around slightly. This one I made Anne some hair and Andy got a hat instead of just the stitching.

In some of the blocks I used buttons for the hair. You may be wondering why blue buttons instead of red buttons. Well,remember  people with read hair were called "Bluey". This was usually for males here in Australia but I don't thing Anne will mind have some blue buttons and french knots for her hair. Hopefully tomorrow I will take a trip to Midland and I will be able to pick up some backing fabric.


Other things "Making me Happy" are;

Peanut Butter, haven't had this for so long. Bonnie wanted some so it was added to the shopping list. Dick Smith makes a great Peanut Butter, great on my morning toast.

The vegie seeds I planted last week are coming up. I will be planting plenty more this week.

Picking up a trailer  load of Horse manure for the garden. Just need some rain to go with it.

I had to smile and laugh yesterday when I was reading Pauline's post. Let me know if you have seen a shop like this one!!!!

Observations.
Last week I received a email from a shop in the US with charm packs on sale for $2.50 how good is that price. Yet when I went to buy a Cucumber on Saturday they were $3.00 each. I know you can't compare them really but it makes you think who is ripping who of. Like when I was at the deli, the fish I bought last week was on special for $10.00. This weeks special price $17.00. Needless to say the fish stayed at the deli.

A much happier Observation.
Ian and I were enjoying our afternoon walk last week and about 15 metres in front of us was a Bubble. Just floating across the footpath. Not a child in sight nor did we hear any playing nearby. I only thought Faeries played in the bottom of the garden.

Have a Happy Monday.
