Winter Sunshine

This morning I packed some food and herded the kids out the door with their soccer balls and I took along my crochet. We were destined for the outdoors out of necessity as B is on nightshift at the moment and I needed them out of the house so he could sleep.

But what started out as necessity turned into a very very very pleasant morning spent in the winter sunshine. The kids ran around, played soccer and explored all without ANY fighting and I sat in peace with my crochet and well, simply enjoyed the peace and quiet.

There was no one else at the 'lake' the whole time we were there as well, so it really was just us and the birds.

They are all having quiet time now and I'm going to have a cuppa and do that same before the afternoon madness starts.

WIPS Wednesday: Dream On Quilt

Okay this is mighty embarrasing! This quilt just needs binding and its done. Only binding, but it's been sitting next to my sewing machine with the fabric to be used for binding for months.

So I'm documenting it here so that I am accountable to YOU and I WILL have it finished by the end of the weekend.

How's that for a deadline?

I'm linking up with Little White Dove for WIPS Wednesday.

We are going on an egg hunt

So what do we need? Mummy made baskets of course!

 

They were mostly made with fabric scraps and pieces of felt out of my felt box. I love a project that comes together without having to buy anything. 

I just sat at my machine on Saturday afternoon and pieced some fabric together, matched up some felt etc and in just over an hour I had 3 baskets. No pattern, just winging it. 

I was pleased as punch.

And so where the kids!

Did you have an Easter egg hunt at your place?
