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...)
