Sunday sun....


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
