A baby quilt

I had a few five inch squares left over from the "Circles of Concern" quilt so I made them into a quick little baby quilt - I took the very pink ones out to be gender-neutral, but there were still heaps of the yellow and green. I really can't count very well.



Quilted in my favourite kind of square meander, very easy and not too dense for something that is meant to be snuggly.



It has been a quiet and wintry week here - the only excitement was when our drains backed up Wednesday dinner time AGAIN ten days after the plumber reckoned they were fine... we got them back out and the guy cleared some more blockages all the way to the fence but the main problem was actually off our property so he had to call up the water company. Amazingly, they turned up within five minutes, spent twenty minutes shouting with torches and machinery and cleared it all out! And apparently we can get reimbursed for the cost of the plumber! (I have yet to investigate that one, sounds slightly optimistic but I will give it a go). And it was cold when the laundry flooded, so as the dinner burned I was paddling about with a mop in one hand and the phone in the other ... in toilet water ... as the outside temperature went below zero ... boy was I cranky.

  2. Which fence? If you mean down the back I'm thinking it must be sewer, not water. Anyway, it's cold here too. Rained all last week so no golf. Jen and Randal over Saturday so that was nice. I'll go over after golf Sat fortnight for a birthday golf tournament(and some birthday fuss) and to see the twins before they go. Is your blog really for family goss?
    Love, Dad.
