Full of all the good things in life.
Socialising with the family

| Little Miss on the Easter Egg Hunt |
 |
| Daddy and Auntie S checking that neither gets more than the other - things never change! |
Good food ( too many puddings and maybe a bit of chocolate...)
 |
| All gone now - In my defence - there were eight of us! |
Gardening in the sunshine
 |
| We have lots of Daffs in he garden but these have just appeared in a bed! I don't know where they came from! |
 |
| One of my lovely Hellebores |
I spent most of Monday sewing seeds in the greenhouse, and planting potatoes in the garden. The sun shone all day and it was glorious (if a tad warm in the greenhouse!)
And between all this I managed to spend some time with my lovely sewing machine
 |
| Adding the binding to the charity quilt |
I don't use blue very often - this quilt was made from Layer Cake. I pieced the back and the binding ( which took probably as long as actually making the quilt).
 |
| Oh No!! Have to find another scrap!! |
I officially have no blue left!
It's a really quick design to run up and using a Layer Cake there are absolutely no scraps left.
Hopefully the
MS Centre will raise some funds with this.
I also finished April's Mini Mania - but I can't show you yet. The reveal takes place at the end of the month. We used
this design and I love my finished project. The finished item is 16" square - so twice a big as last months.

| before the unpicking! - sewn them all on the wrong way! |

The crochet blanket has had more rows added. Still not sure about that Coral colour, but it is staying so I will have to use it again soon.
A friend is going to look at a new sewing machine today, and I have invited myself to "help" her choose. Look out
Andy - trouble is on its way! And I have to make the house safe for a little visitor for a few days. She is now walking so I must be on my guard!
If you are a Downton fan, pop over and watch
this video a bit of fun by
evilbutler.com ( and I so think he is) in a very good cause.
Saw the video and loved it. You have been busy over the weekend; you put me to shame!!
ReplyDeleteBusy you ..... how ever did you find time to work. Garden looks good.. Hope you are making a album of photo's of that pretty little girl as she will grow up far to quickly. .
ReplyDeleteYou have been a busy bee, and those puds look so yummy. I loved it when I tagged along with someone buying a new sewing machine.....didn't know I could get so excited for someone else. That babe is growing so quickly, make the most of her.
