Slack week

After last week's sewing and binding frenzy I have been a bit slack in the sewing dept. All four quilts were finished and delivered to the hospital
I only took one finished photo, I am sure there are photos if the others on previous posts.
David has a new bike, a trike with a battery,  there he is disappearing into the distance 🤣
He can no longer balance on his regular bike so needed this to still get some exercise.  I have had a go up the back yard and found it really hard to steer, need more practise!! 
We have had some lovely sunny days so walking has been a pleasure
This pelican had the best spot to watch the fishermen come back in
I have visited Finn a couple of times, he is getting ready to crawl
And was ready for dinner, mashed carrots 🥕 and apple 🍎 with a side of green beans ! Looks like he is getting his 6th tooth coming through.
I got Finn some new socks, with silicon/rubber soles, he thinks they are wonderful for chewing!! 

I have been doing a little knitting, it will be for a KOGO blanket, probably will take me a long time! 
A new Christmas Tomte came home with me yesterday, he has a light inside his belly
This mess is the tea towel challenge I need to get finished. I decided to make a table cloth for outside,  it will be double sided as I have lots of tea towels to use up.
It is a beautiful sunny day today
So more gardening might happen - I did an hour and a half yesterday, gave the weeds a fright and spread some mulch. I was given 2 tomato seedlings and a cucumber plant yesterday so need to get them into the garden. Now I need to finish a letter, happy stitching.

  1. That sounds like a great way to get around for hubby. There will be no stopping Finn once he is up on his knees. He looks like he will be into everything. You have been busy in the sewing room and with the knitting needles.

  2. It looks like a busy week! Great to have the trike for hubby - Finn is looking great... I love it when baby's suck on their feet - they fold up like pretzels... the knitting looks pretty ....

  3. Davids new bike looks great Sue - will still give him the freedom to exercise. Finn does not seem old enough to be nearly crawling! Where did that time go. I love the colours in the new KOGO. xx

  4. Your slack week is busier than other people’s busy week. Your grandson looks like a happy boy.

  5. Maybe not a lot of stitching, but still a busy and varied week. That’s great that hubby can still get out on a bike.

  6. Maybe I should invest in a trike- I didn't have a bike as a child and still cant balance on one.
    I am so far behind on blog reading - I think I'm up to date on yours now - again you've been very busy...I love the penguin Aussie Hero quilt - I assume you were able to hide thje accidental cutting of the fabric.
    Great retreat work!

  10. Finn is such a delight to see, great to see him smiling. And I love David's Trike, I would love one but they are so expensive here, and I need dental treatment, which will cost a fortune! Hugs, Valerie
