Not much has been happening this week, but I have finally decided on my theme for the quilt project.
Each night this week, I've dedicated my couch and tv time to a little bit of quiet hand stitching in red. Slowly, but surely, it's beginning to take shape.
I haven't had a giveaway in a really long time, so if you can guess what my stitching is going to become, I'll send you a mystery gift. I hope it's not too blatanly obvious just yet!
In other creative news, I bought myself a new little pressie..... a mini HP notebook. Perfect for a bit of blog surfing, and facebooking, and online shopping on the couch. It only weighs 1.2 kilograms, and once I've made a spiffy new padded laptop cover, I'll be able to just pop it into my handbag and take it wherever I need to go.

Love your red work, very creative!!
And yay for a new notebook, so fresh and so clean..Wish they stayed that way!! :P
Your red work is coming together nicely...Love it but I have no idea what it will be... enjoy the notebook.
looks great, love the colour, don't know what it is yet, looks like a pretty flower bracelet to me.
oh the notebook is definitely what is needed so you can watch tv & blog at the same time!
are going to coffee this sunday with northside makers? :)
hmmm...
an apron or a table topper?
that's a toughie, but it sure is pretty!
I was always terrible at guessing what Mr Squiggle was drawing! Whatever it is the start of, it is starting to look beautiful. Very 'you' to incorporate doilies into the design.
And yahoo for presents your yourself. You chose so well!
Tea towel? Or maybe a cushion cover? Looks great :-)
ooh looks fab!
Ohh, I have no idea. Can't wait to see tho.
It looks amazing - I love it! What are the doily things made of? Have you stitched all of them by hand or are they felt? Just amazing! Congratulations on your new laptop - very cute :) K
The quilt square looks fantastic. I love the look of it!
I have to say I mulled over this one for a bit...but I have absolutely no idea! I'm really intrigued...can't wait to see it when it's finished. Enjoy your new notebook!
Great computer. It's so great to do the old "mobile blogging' when you are out and about.
your stitching is starkly beautiful. i am absolutely loving all the red around blogland at the moment...
The quilt piece looks gorgeous. I've got no idea what the design is going to become. It seems you've stumped us all.
I think it's going to be a doily made out of little doilies! Hurrah for new presents especially laptops.

It looks like cogs to me - but I see cogs everywhere at the minute. (I love cogs by the way).
cute laptop...I think your red stitching is going to become a christmas wreath. Looks lovely.
Looks gorgeous. I think it will be a big red doiley?
It looks Fantastic!! I love it!!
Ooh...nice pattern with the red doilies!
Um....it's going to be a bunch of mexicans riding bikes in a circle!
I don't really know what it is going to be but it is really inspiring to me....a very amateur stitcher!
It looks lovely.
Thanks
Lisa
my first thought is that it reminds of a sponge cake topped with strawberries!!
It's looking awsome and so vibrant!!

The stitching looks amazing. And yay for new toys. I love new toys.
The stitching looks fabulous. I love the vibrancy of the red on white. It looks very intricate and detailed.
I love your square - it looks like it's going to be a doiley, made up of smaller doilies, but it could easily be something else ... hmmmm ... looking forward to seeing what!
Hmmm... not sure what it could be, but I love it so far :)
Your square is looking really beautiful.
I love it, the red is glorious. Are you making a big doiley?! (Haven't read the other comments so someone has probably already suggested this!)
No idea, maybe a stitching of the solar system? Can you enter me anyway because I NEVER win anything.
Your square looks really stunning!
I really love it Cam, it looks awesome. And nothing more exciting than a new gadget, love them!
Can't wait to see more of your redwork. Gorgeous.
Your use of mini doileys in the stitching project is most inspired! My guess is that it is going to be a clock.
I love your red stitching, it looks beautiful, and that is one super cool bit of technology you have there! super jealous!
Now that, looks very, very cool!
I have absolutely no idea what it is tho!
I have no idea what it is but I looks fantastic! And yay for portable shopping ;) xox
Hmmmmm....at first I was thinking you were going to make a bag out of it...then I thought a pillow cover...then apron...now I've got no clue!!! Whatever it becomes will beautiful, that's all I know.
ps. I'm quite jealous of your new toy!
Ok, I take back my previous comment cuz I remembered that, duh, you won't be making any of those things cuz this is a quilt square. So...the redwork is going to become....I'm still stumped! But I can't wait to see it!
a crop circle? ;)
Gorgeous redwork!! And congrats on your new laptop, I have a huge soft spot for new technology which is completely at odds with my love for history. But how fab to be able to whip that out whenever, wherever.
It's beautiful Cam. Can't wait to see it finished.
Its fantastic. Arnt you a clever girl? Dont forget to show us your notebook bag!!! Will you use a pattern or make your own from scratch. I love the adventure of making a new bag for a new item! Dont forget to share :)
Congrats on the new laptop. I wouldn't know what I would do without one. I guess I'm really adicted :S
The stitching is gorgeous, by the way. I love all the red on white we're seeing these days. What could it be you are making? A clock maybe?
Can't wait to see what it looks like when you are finished. I bet it will be beautiful!
