That was the week that was..

Well, the week has whizzed passed and thank goodness: it has been a really difficult one!
Mum went in for a knee replacement op on Monday, so there have been trips to the hospital and tidying her house before she comes home (she is some sort of compulsive hoarder NOTHING gets thrown away!)
We have all been told at work that we have to re-apply for our jobs-bit of a shocker! But the silver lining is that there will be three new posts to apply for, at a higher grade, but you can only apply if you have the minimum qualification of AAT: turns out that the last 3 odd years studying havn't been in vain!! (last exam is December, so I will be as near as dam it qualified.) so I figure I won't lose anything by applying for a higher grade!

My bee blocks have started to come home.  Tanya made me a little something with the scraps

My house is full of hanging hearts, all over the place, so this is perfect

terrible picture, sorry
 It was a little ray of sunshine to receive it this week, thank you Tanya


And a quick update of the DWR quilt which is coming on nicely


Revision for me this weekend, but there WILL also be some sewing!!

    I have loads of hanging hearts too!
    Re-applying for your own job seems to be quite common these days - good luck with the next one up.xx

    I hope you mum is better than new soon! And I have my fingers crossed for that higher grade too. But what are the hanging hearts about? And I am loving your quilt.
