Today has been a beautiful wintery, springy day, when a rainy, stormy day was forecast, so really a bonus nice day!
Today I dragged the two younger boys on a bike ride to Balnarring, they weren't really keen, but the lure of chips and potato cakes finally won them round, and I think they might have even enjoyed themselves. Gary met us there in the 'support vehicle' and Max threw his bike in the back for the trip home, but Andre and I rode home and made pretty good time! Nice to get a bit of variety in the exercise regime now and then.
Today I made a chocolate cake and a coconut cake, I'm hoping I won't have to bake tomorrow.
Today I sat in the afternoon sun and did a bit of quiet hooking, these are the finishing touches to some little makes that have been crying out to be finished for a few months. I finally found the inspiration I needed in the perfect shape of these half circles..... I think they will be just what was called for........ I will show you the finished things later in the week when they are all sewn together nicely.
Today I thought about what to do for a give away for you guys, and I think I have a plan....more on that later.....
I have to say I am loving my sunny little table in the afternoons, I might have to move it in the summer, but it is perfect for these winter days!
Hope you all had great weekends
I like the half circles. I am excited what you will make with it.

Well, clever lady, I can't even imagine what all those semi circles will be but they're very pretty!
ReplyDeleteOh that table looks just the perfect size for spreading out all your crochet bits Julie.

Nice to get out on the deadly treadly with the lads.........we've had a mostly wet weekend. Winter has returned, yippee.
