While I was at work the grandchildren came round with a Fathers Day card for Granddad and some home made crispie cakes that they had made unaided in the morning. Minky was really pleased with the card he had made and was very pleased when Granddad put it on the mantle piece, and it is still there.

Monday
Hubby did some more preparation work for his shed. Moving slabs to level them up so Lilly helped with the digging. Her cough has not returned which I am hoping is a good thing. Sadly her appetite is back to normal for Lilly, mega small portions as and when she wants to.

Tuesday
Sometimes my sewing corner can get rather messy. I had been cutting out another load of purple and white shapes to match last weeks patchwork square. The piles on the windowsill are the piles for each separate square. I was listening to an audio book on my kindle and had a bottle of juice handy as it has been rather warm all week.

Wednesday
The children wanted to come and visit. so DD1 brought them up before nursery.
Bob read a book, Spud fell asleep, Dinky huffed and Minky played nice and stroked Lilly.

Thursday
I have to do a health and safety inspection and write a report on my findings as part of my UNISON training. I have decided to do it on the ergonomics of our Supervisors Office, and do I was printing off the standards that I shall be looking for during my inspection.
Friday
The Lilies are looking fabulous at the moment, sadly they have a short life span.
Saturday
Looking to do something a bit more adventurous with my sewing machine. So I had a conversation with a lovely lady at Toyota who agreed to send me out a few attachments for my machine. A full blog post will follow once I have made something impressive with them. Here I was practising making flowers and just put them in boxes as I had been practising sewing the boxes.

ReplyDeleteI'm glad Lily is doing great.
It looks like the sewing is going well x
That looks fab flowers. Glad Lily seems ok. What sweet little kiddies they are. The cakes & card is so cute x
ReplyDeleteThe flowers I am hoping will be even more fab for a project I have in mind.
DeleteOo I am excited to see what sewing you are going to do with the new parts as teethers flowers look great. Your grandchildren have the cutest nicknames too. #65
ReplyDeleteThe older children picked the nicknames when DD1 was expecting them.
DeleteThe lily flowers look wonderful - mine have been attacked by the lily beetle. I'm glad that Lily seems to be enjoying life at the moment.
ReplyDeleteours seem to be lucky no beetle on them.
Deletenaughty Lily digging under the slab, glad she's stopped coughing, your sewing area looks like everything I do, messy but my organised mess
ReplyDeleteAn organised mess is a good mess! Love the crispie gift for your hubby.
ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the flower stitching and your patio laying helper. I need you to a Health and Safety assessment on me, working on a laptop is causing me no end of problems. Your sewing room looks very industrious #365
ReplyDeleteAww the card they made is lovely! Glad Lily isn't coughing again.
ReplyDeleteThose flower stitches look impressive! Didn't realise you can do that with machines.
great card for your hubby from the kiddies - and who can say no to crispy cakes? not me! Lovely seeing Lily busy digging, although shame her appetite has dwindled so much once again. bless her. The colour of those lilies is beautiful! And I am curious how a contact at Toyota can help you with your sewing projects! x
ReplyDeleteLove the card :) Your sewing corner looks well used, just as it should :)
