A Gem of a Challenge

Hurrah it's the 8th February and the first challenge on A Gem of A Challenge starts today and its a fabulous sketch, you've plenty of time to join in too.
I felt a bit guilty about Snowflake Mimi last time I used her I paper pieced her dress so I thought I would use her again and colour her dress in but once I decide to the BG Wisteria, I just knew she would look perfect if I paper pieced her again.
The flowers are EK success and I used McGill branch punch for a change and I always amazed that a bit of ribbon and few pearls are perfect finishing touches.
Didn't get much done yesterday I've started my entry to CJ I have but I found it hard to get motivated since I really wanted to continue my secret project since I've now got to the fun bit but I've a few things that need to be done.
It looks like I maybe Car shopping this afternoon, my poor DS is shocked at the price of insurance and he's being very sensible by buying a secondhand run around instead of the Porsche!
