Bee'ing productive

Today has been about catching up on Bee blocks.  This block is for Di, who is queen bee for Be a Brit Stingy this month.  I have never come across this block before and it was very easy to make 

and Karen is our queen bee in Hipbees this month and asked us to do this whirligig block, which again was nice and easy to do (makes me feel bad about getting everyone to do the Lynnebobsquarepants when it was my turn!!)


I have also cut 112 charm squares for Cindys rainbow charm swap.  Imagine my surprise when I discovered I had ordered 3 yards of this fabric and not two :-).  I got this in the $6 sale at pink castle, along with a yard of something else.  With postage included it works out about £5.60 a yard


This time of year is manic for us at work, year end and all.  We are either dashing between schools or manning the helpdesk in the office.  Someone, somewhere decided it would be a REALLY good time to move offices - but we were ABSOLUTELY guaranteed that everything would be in working order in the office on Monday morning ........


........ errrr, are you sure!!  No P.c's and no phones.  Got to love working for local government!!

    I love your blocks for Di (and I hate to mention it but the bees are making four sprout blocks for her...) and Karen - that whirligig block is lovely! Your charm swap fabric is fabulous, thank goodness you accidentally got extra ;o)
