1. I spoke to the OnlyChild twice on the phone and once on Skype. Awww...she misses her mum. She's applied to a university here in town so she may be moving home to finish her degree.
2. I started a new dance class yesterday. The teacher I took lessons from for 6 1/2 years decided to start teaching again. I missed her first two Saturday classes because of prior commitments (a workshop and exam marking) so it was really nice to finally get to go. I now take dance classes on Mondays and Saturdays as well as yoga on Wednesdays.
3. Block 7 of Swoon is finished. I cut out the pieces Friday night (after I cleaned the house - good to get it done) and then sewed it all up yesterday.
4. I had some time last night and today to work on Dresdens. Now I have three completed. Anne of Bunny Hill posted the new tutorial about the middle circles so once I decide on a background fabric I can put the blocks together. I'm still not sure what I will make from them, but I'm loving the process and the blocks so far.
I also worked on a special little Valentine's project this afternoon but I can't show you yet (in case somebody is watching...).
It's clear from reading this that I don't have a life haha. I did nothing but dance and sew all weekend. Hey, I'm okay with that. I actually turned down a couple of invitations, mainly because I have a yucky cold, stuffy head, sneezy nose and sore throat. Nothing too bad, but a good enough excuse to stay home with Bernice.

Oh...lovely blocks!!
You have been busy enjoying yourself despite having a cold! Get well soon.
BTW, good news about OnlyChild, I hope the plans to move home work out.
Very nice blocks......the Dresdens and the Swoon. It will be nice for you and your daughter if she goes to school closer to home!
Sewing and dancing...hey what could be better than that!?! Lovely blocks! OC must be homesick. That first year can be rough away from home! Hope it works out for her move.
Love it all, Rachel! Your Swoon is going to be gorgeous! Those Dresden plates are stunning too. I hope you use them in something special. :)
You DO have a life -- and you have to add cleaning to that list. It's a FUN life from the sounds of it!!! Lovin' those swoon blocks -- it's fun to watch you and Jen get them completed so quickly. Oooh, and fun for you -- I hope TheOnlyChild ends up back home!
Your dresdens are fabulous! Love the colors. Great job with your Swoon, I still have 1 more block to finisj.
All of that dancing and yoga sounds like fun, Rachel. How nice your OnlyChild may be returning!
Dancing and sewing all weekend? Sounds heavenly to me!
