WE had a lovely few days at the coast, the water was perfect and the boys (big and little) spent a lot of time playing in the water..... I even had a couple though I am too scared to go out as far as them ....
Not much sewing time at all.... board games and cards were taught and now I am getting thoroughly thrashed by youngsters...
I have sewn a few pies, easy transportable project as you know and I can pick it up and do 10 minutes when there is a break....
This last week at home I have been doing a little bit of crochet in the evenings.... to be honest I'm too tired to do much more.... Young people move so much!!!
They are lovely boys, so active and chatting. Son has been great and now my shower is fixed, new lights are installed in the shed and the lawn has been mowed.
Before they came I did get a quilt of mine quilted..... I did large ripples to give texture.... now it needs binding of course....
Righto, Gotta Go... boys are back from their morning walk and will be requiring some food...
Have a lovely weekend.....
Hi Fiona lucky to have a plumber in the family lol,the boys have grown so much ,how wonderful to have your Melb family visit .Lovely work on your quilt and love your pies,hope you have a lovely Sunday my friend 🌹🤍🌹
ReplyDeleteThe tarts sound like the perfect solution to sewing time at present! Love that ripple quilt
ReplyDeleteMy GS always ask me why older people need a nanny nap & i tell him because we don't have as much energy as young people. I know i'm certainly worn out after i've been around the grandchildren. :) Lovely quilt.
ReplyDeleteGrandsons ARE exhausting Fiona ... I totally agree!! Mine wore me out last week too. Sounds like a wonderful time had by all though & your pies are such a great project to take along with you. xx
ReplyDeleteDelicious looking pies there. Enjoy having the family even though it is full on.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are having a lovely time. xx
ReplyDeleteOh yes! Boys do move the dust around a lot... and demand lots of food too. Enjoy the company, the sewing will still be here after the boys of summer have gone, as the song goes. ;^)
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that you're having a great time with the family ... well, it doesn't necessarily have to be sewn, crocheted or knitted :-)))
ReplyDeleteI went to the fabric market yesterday... and got started right away today, it rained all day so photos of my sewing will come later. Greetings to you.

That is so nice that your son did some DIY for you! I love your "pies" what are you going to do with them? I've been doing some crocheting in the evening....by that time of the day I need something mindless! LOL! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteNice pies... :) and this season starts us all crochet or knitting doesn't it...xox
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had some nice time with the family. I always take projects and never get anything done, always too busy being outside or at the beach. It looks like you have some beautiful pieces in the making.

ReplyDeleteGreat son doing many jobs round the house .
Good to get same sewing and crochet done.
Sounds like those big and small boys had lovely beach time. Your pies are lovely xx
ReplyDeleteI am sure you were busy feeding and enjoying the extra boys!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great time with all your family. Nothing beats time with them.
