Project 366 week 15

Sunday

On the way to the shop in my break I pass the chapel. I am not religious or a church goer but this place has a pull. A friend of mine describes it as "like walking into a great big hug". I wandered in for five minutes and thought about a friend of mine who is having a tough time.



loving thoughts for a friend




Monday

Went round to do bath and bedtime, granddad came with me and he did baby cuddling.

snuggles with Spud



Tuesday

Round for breakfast time. For the last time as daughter is going to manage on her own.

Wednesday

Made a start on the vegetables today. We bought the pea plants from a local source and put them out. Planted tomato and sweetcorn seeds in the propagator. Sadly we have had overnight frosts and snow today ( Saturday) so hope they survive.


6 pea plants



Thursday


Went down and took the twins out for a walk to give mum a break. We went down the fishery, and that was a big mistake. Seems to be a lot of work going on down there and the place was very muddy. Minky had fun jumping in the puddles of mud and needing stripping off time he got home. They walk very nicely now and are more trustworthy not to wander near the ponds. Not that I would let them loose near the road.

Friday

It is Bob's birthday on Sunday. Bob asked if I could make him a Minecraft cake. So I used Pinterest to research some ideas and made one manageable to my skills and the restraints of a Bob friendly cake.


One minecraft birthday cake. 




Saturday

Finished the next picture on the blanket. Last week we had a pink rabbit that connects to our side of the family. So this week we have a frog. This links to SIL's side of the family. SIl's Aunt M bought him a frog for a birthday one year and it escalated form there. He still gets a frog of some description every year and some frogs took pride of place on the top table at the wedding. So how could I not add a frog?

  2. Lovely photo of a sleeping Spud! It must be a relief not to go and help out every morning now. I hope your daughter is managing OK. The frog is brilliant and it's great that there's a real story attached to it.

  3. LOve the frog! I find sitting in a church thinking is helpful sometimes and I'm not a big church goer.

  4. Very clever Minecraft cake! I wouldn't even know where to start. Hope your pea plants survived the frost. I like visiting the churches when there is no service and they are empty.

    1. Very simple minecraft cake, used 2 loaf tins side by side to make the square. Some butter icing in the middle, rolled out a square of green ready to roll icing and covered it, then cut out the squares in black ready to roll icing.

  6. Baby snuggles are the best! Very precious that you're able to do outings with your grandkids. I know I am so grateful for my mom who takes my little ones out for walks. It is truly life saving sometimes :)
