It's not that bad really, I cook proper food nearly every night but sometimes you can't beat a quick meal - more time for blogging :)
Sooooooo where to start? To be honest I have no idea. This all started many years ago when I asked for a sewing machine for my 16th birthday. However there was no space to keep the sewing machine set-up so it was hauled up and down to the attic each time I wanted to use it, which was a LOT of hassle....and so it went away for good and never came down. How sad - I know! That was untill college was all done and dusted and the recession hit Ireland and I packed up my belongings and headed to Australia for work.
Once in Australia I got a job and a home and I suddenly had a spare room to fill............ so I got a sewing machine and fabric, LOTS OF FABRIC.
On a trip home to Ireland in November I dragged my mother into this. We rocked up at the Stitching and Knitting Expo in Dublin's RDS. Mum has knitted since she was pregnant with me HOWEVER..... after knitting me a new Christmas stocking for Australia she had to succumb to tennis elbow and admit defeat with knitting for now. So she signed up for a quilting class and is now WHOOPING MY BUTT at this! Perfect work by mummy two hoots - I am very proud and jelous of her skills whilst I struggle with being self taught here.
Here is a picture of mummy two hoots' first and AMAZING quilt top!
Wow
And the obsession begins: Quilts, clothes, furniture.... and baking
