At the weekend I made the December Mini-Quilt but you will have to wait for this one as it will go to my class first. I've really enjoyed making these and now have a hole in my quilting world that needs to be filled with some seasonal loveliness next year. Wall quilts, mini-quilts, cushions, what next?
Since my last post we have also celebrated Halloween. This is becoming more of festival than it was (does my cynicism put it all down to a commercial opportunity?) I have the same attitude to this as to Christmas, I mark it in my own way.
I'm going to make some toffee apple cake for this Thursday night because that is a Bonfire Night delicacy.
My quiet day on Monday was not so quiet this week. John was doing some work in the house and Steph was at work so I collected the boys from school/nursery and they came back to my house for games and tea.
The place looked like a bomb site after they had gone. They are staying over this Sunday/Monday as John and Steph are going down to London to see Stephen Fry. Once they are at school on Monday I'll be able to recoup!
The last few days have been very dull and I'm getting that sort of crushing feeling you get without sunshine. The sky feels slightly brighter today but there has been a sort of yellow/grey light all day for the past couple of days.
A haircut on Friday will cheer me up and a quiet Saturday is planned before the demolition squad arrive on Sunday. I've chosen to stay in my house rather than theirs this time and if the weather is kind we can walk to the park.
Will and Alex are moving this weekend so I might make them a casserole so that they don't have to worry about cooking. Will is taking the little hens and the rabbit and I will be getting a couple of new layers as my other two are quite old ladies now. The difference between bought eggs and fresh laid home eggs is indescribable.
So in a week when my youngest is 31 and my oldest is 33 I'm feeling my own age a bit more. But let's not grow old gracefully eh?
