wow finally a holiday that felt longer then shorter..........
I signed off for a few days while the kids had their last 2 days at school then I had a phone call from a girlfriend and the possabilty that she may come up so that was a slight panic "I haven't done anything in this house for a few days" so madly washing, tidying, vacumning etc, making beds incase she did come............
Then we had a day trip shopping where we met up and did a beading course with our 2 girls (more on that later)
My girlfriend and her daughter did come up for a few days and her daughter had just picked up a new basic machine. So we had to get her going on that.........with a few tears and "I can't do this" from her she finally got some projects finished......super excitement her first projects..........
This was my floor during last week...........will post more about them all later........I didn't really get much time to sew due to the fact that 4 people wanted me to show them how to do something or cut something ...........want want want so I just gave up on trying to do anything for myself and got them all finished up............
Bookworm had some mates out and they all did a bit of sewing too.........that was fun
I have lots to show so will get some posts organised and show you what we achieved...........
Catch you later..............

Even though you might not have been able to do your own sewing, give yourself a pat on the back for inspiring and helping others! Wish I could get to my machine and sew up a storm.
Looking good at your place...

Oooh, looks like you had fun! I love teaching someone who wants to learn how to sew. LOVE the new blog header too!
Your floor certainly says that you achieved something..... can't wait to hear more.,
definitely does look like a hive of activity! How fun to get to teach someone to sew!
Everything looks great laying on the floor! Hope you get some sewing time to get them finished!
Looks like they had a good teacher, can't wait to see their finishes.
You are a nice friend to help others to sew. Wish you were here inspiring me too.
Great post about blog etiquette. I am still new to blogging and need to learn everything.
A lack of readers and comments is discouraging.
Sounds like you had a great few days.
I love that the new sewer finished some projects! I hope her new machine brings her many hours of joy.
It great she had you to help her.
Your floor looks like my dining room table!
Any sewing is good sewing...even if it was other peoples LOL
Can 't wait to see more pics of what you all did!!
Sounds like you had a perfect time with friends..
You will always have time to sew some other time ;-))
Finally we have some summer here in Norway but it is kind a cold summer with only 20 Degreas C.. But we have to take what we get right.. Lucely I am of to greece later this summer with my family;-))
I have not have much time to sew either but I have lots of planes.
Tommorrow is my last day of work before my 4 week of summerhollyday starts. Ohh it will be like heaven!!
Take care and have fun with or without sheeps .
Still looks like a lot of fun! Teaching can be very rewarding even if you didn't get anything crossed off your list!
We all should have a friend call to say they're dropping by every once in a while so we can do a tidy up.
sounds like a good week.

Wow, 3 quilts all laid out. I think that's a lot of work. I know how you feel, some days life gets in the way and I can't get to my sewing machine, even for a few minutes. Though time spent with friends is a fun reason not to sew.
Sounds like fun! It is always fun to get someone started into quilting...
looks very productive there, they are all doing great work.
Looks like lots of fun! Glad your friends daughter is getting the hang of it, it is exciting when you see someone 'get it'.
Oh these quilts looks great already, great job.
Have a nice week end.
Please don't go madly washing, tidying, vacuuming when we come. I am quite at home with mess LOL. Not long now I can hardly wait.
