This weekend I've...........
Started my retro quilt. I have been collecting and cutting retro sheets and Fat Quarters. I have a favourite blue flower sheet which will be my backing. Tonight I plan on pinning and sometime this week I will start to everything together. Can't wait to show you my progress.
Enjoyed dinner out with friends Friday night for cocktails and fresh seafood. The very best of combinations I think.
My amazing friend Leigh gave me a Crown Lynn Swan. She always gives me such beautiful gifts. And this completes my set of 3.
Bell and I had a girls morning in town, cold drinks and warm pastries.
I op shopped and found pink Pyrex and retro spice canisters and salt and pepper shakers.
Our school gala was on Saturday afternoon, the boys had a great time and loaded up on sugary treats, as you do.
Reading old cookbooks, loving a particular one from the early 1980's.
And later on Mr H and I enjoyed a quiet night in.
Sunday we stayed in PJ's till noon. I did a bit of gardening and then spent the rest of the afternoon building Lego with Tom. I think I have earned my Lego Degree by now.
A laid back weekend after a busy week. Even working "just part time" makes my weekdays full, not to mention the constant picking up and dropping off of children for kindy, school, swimming, appointments and errands. I really look forward to my weekends. There hasn't been a lot of time for blogging or visiting favourite blogs, but with the cooler months just around the corner I expect that will change when we start to spend more time indoors.
Have a great week! xo
Such beautiful fabrics, your quilt will be amazing! Looking forward to seeing the progress. Lovely charity shop finds, the pink Pyrex is fab. X
ReplyDeleteThose vintage fabrics are to die for. So pretty! The life of a mum is always a busy one- enjoy the day to day, blogs will be there when you are ;) x
ReplyDeleteAs a child I had sheets in the pink and purple print in the centre of your photo! Oh how I loved those sheets. What a lovely idea for a quilt. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a fabulous weekend, can't wait to see your quilt progressing. I know how how feel with the busyness of being a working mum - my weeks have been like it too. In fact my mum has been complaining that my blog has been a bit boring lately, cos I haven't been up to much.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.

ReplyDeleteI've a PhD in lego. Your quilt will be amazing and fab on the bed in dark and dreary winter. Still summer here at 26 deg and humid. Autumn is a long way off I think.
ReplyDeletePink Pyrex..love. and just look at the perfection that is the handles on that bowl. I haven't seen one like it before.
ReplyDeleteThe floral sheets are lovely. My 'plus quilt' is a work in progress. I'm looking for the perfect backing still. x
Your swap parcel is on its way!! The man in the post office thinks it should take about a week. I hope it's not squashed... you'll need to read my blog post (which I'm about to write!) to find out why it might be.
