Making progress.....

I am indeed making progress on this striped cushion

It is a slow project but very enjoyable and rewarding.

All Double Crochet (uk/aust)

and beautiful crepe wool.

The front is now complete and I am working on the back which will be in two pieces which overlap and close with buttons & buttonholes -another first time technique for me

The children went back to school this morning after two weeks of school holidays so I thought I'd bake them a treat for their afternoon tea this afternoon

This is a new favourite of theirs

Muffin Carrot Cakes

I think they like the Cream Cheese Frosting the best ;)
Also this week

I decided I needed a couple of covered coat hangers for my wardrobe

and wondered if I could possibly make them myself

well I found a pattern and whipped these up plus 2 more.

It's been a great couple of weeks in our home

The kids as I mentioned have just had two weeks school holidays,
Andrew had three weeks of Annual leave,
we built another vegie garden,
had a couple of day trips, dined out a few times,
had my parents come and stay for a weekend,

And I celebrated my 40th birthday and it didn't hurt a bit! :)


Have a Blessed week everyone ♥
