Sliced Coins QA quilt top. Great QA from Elizabeth D. at her Don't Call Me Betsy blog. Photo taken at twilight just after I finished sewing on the borders!
HSV Sea Slice is an experimental United States Navy vessel, built by Lockheed Martin. Based on a variant of the SWATH hull design, known as "SLICE," Sea Slice is characterized by four teardrop-shaped submerged hulls—double the number seen on most previous designs. According to the US Navy, the design reduces waves and drag, which allows a SWATH vessel to "...operate at higher speeds while retaining their characteristic low motions in a seaway". Designed for operation in the same area as, and mount similar armament to, a Littoral combat ship-type corvette, current weapon options include the Millennium Gun and the NetFires System, intended to launch Lockheed's (now cancelled) Loitering Attack Munition.

Mum’s Day-tripper Bag
The majority of what I am designing at the moment is baby related! I have a 5 month old girl and a 3 year old boy and have an endless list of items that I want to design to make things easier or prettier or both!
This bag is really 3 items in one. The main bag, a change mat that acts as a compact changing bag in its own right and a toy I have named the sleepy fish!
I used the layer cake by cutting the squares diagonally into equal strips and piecing these for the main bag. I then used the off-cuts of this with some yardage to make the outside of the changing mat. The remaining squares (the louder, busier ones) were used to make all the components of the sleepy fish toy.
The main bag has 2 elastic sections at the sides designed to hold bottles or anything you need to hold upright, like lotion. There is a large zipped pocket for all your ‘mum’ bits – phone, purse, lippy etc. I have included the eyelet on a flap just inside the bag. This was primarily to hold my sleepy fish toy but could also be used for keys. As with any item that comes in contact with children it needed to be sturdy! I put metal studs on the bottom to protect the fabric and a plastic bag base to help maintain the shape and stability. I have also inserted tubing into the handles for extra strength and interfacing has been used throughout.
The compact changing bag is padded and wipe clean. It has enough storage for a basic change kit. i.e. two or three nappies, wipes and disposal bags. I designed it to be carried within the main bag for a quick change. Once the mat is unfolded all the other bits you need are right there. No more rummaging in your bag to find them mid-change! It is also great when you child is a little older and you don’t need to carry so much ‘stuff’ around. It can just be hung on the back of the push chair and doesn’t take up too much space. As you may have noticed, my laptop wrap, submitted in the audition round was born from this design as the fold up function is so quick and compact.
Although you can’t see it, the sleepy fish toy has a ball rattle inside and all the scales and fins have a crinkly cellophane sewn in to make lots of noises. Perfect for entertaining your baby while you change her. There is a hanging loop with Velcro so it can be attached easily to the eyelet inside the bag or onto a pushchair etc
Happy day-tripping!
A crew member slices a particularly stubborn piece of the R.H. Thomson "Ramps to Nowhere" before an excavator finishes the job and removes it.
This is one of those 'nearly' shots. I was really pleased with the idea at the time, but it doesn't quite work. Maybe the gap should have been higher in the frame, maybe the focus should have been on the subject not the frame? what do you think?

A slice of my final cake for my cake decorating class at Michael's. The taste is definitely better than the decorations, but I don't mind. Shortly after I ate this, Alicia brought over these amazing cupcakes, and we went to the midnight showing of The Dark Knight, which was awesome!
lemony-cake Recipe:
1 cup butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon extract
In a small bowl, sift together flours. In a separate bowl, combine the milk and extracts.
In a large bowl, cream butter until smooth. Gradually add sugar and beat until light. Add eggs one at a time, beating well before adding the next. Mix in flour in three parts, alternating and ending with the milk mixture.
Pour into two greased and floured 9-inch cake pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Run a knife around the perimeter of the pans and let cool for 10 minutes before turning out onto racks to cool completely.
I just used a can of lemon cream pie filling between the layers. It's frosted with Wilton Buttercream.

Pudding from last night! I love sliced strawberries with a tiny dusting of caster sugar. These looked sooo good I had to capture them before I destroyed them!
