A week of not much

It's the school holidays, once again, and the boys and I have spent the first few days doing not much of anything. They saw the Minions movie while I went grocery shopping, played on the computer while I ran errands (or just ran) and did a bit of baking. Number one son and I put the first coat of paint on the hideous 1970s wood veneer built-ins in the family room ... it's going to take a lot of coats.



Number two son had a sleepover at a friend's house who lives a bit out in the country - I took this shot from their front door of the regular visitor in their garden. He was huge, and completely unperturbed by people coming and going. They also have a tiny little dog that wants to pick a fight with the roo - what is it with tiny little dogs? Do they have no idea of their own actual size?



On the sewing front I am slowly making large circles in the large quilt. I'm drawing round a bread and butter plate with my frixion pen (yes, the erasable one, NOT the non-erasable one, I'm not doing that again) and then quilting the outline. It's very open but still taking forever (and I'm not sticking to the lines either...)

  2. It looks as though you made it a quilt.

  3. Does the kangaroo eat the garden? I wouldn't like that. (Though it's probably not going to happen to me, so I won't worry too much). Our granddaughter has been enjoying Winnie the Pooh stories and goes around bouncing and saying, "I'm a kangaroo" (because of Kanga and Roo, we assume). She doesn't look like that, though.
