A special dinner out - then some sewing

 Hubby and I have wanted to try this restaurant for quite a while now. We finally went. 

Hubby started with a crab and watermelon entree 

And I had a crab dish.. delicious

We enjoyed wine, mains and desert.

A yummy crème caramel for hubby and a pav, choc dish for me.

Even though it wasn’t cheap it was a very special evening.

A taxi was called, the door was opened and off home we went.

A little bit of sewing.

Here is what I made to send to Maria. It was a fun little swap. We all like to get happy mail.

I know Maria likes going away in her caravan so this made me smile.

I have used this very large tea towel.

Many years ago I worked  at a school camp and we had these tea towels. The washed up so nice and dried the dishes so good that the staff could buy some. I still have some in the cupboard and thought I’d share one  with you.

It looks great on my oven. Hope it does on yours Maria.

And now I have started Bonnie Hunters Rhododendron Trail

Wow it’s nearly December. The start of Summer.

 Where did November go to.

I am now the President of our local quilt group. How did that happen?

A few committee members went to our storage shed to see what was there. There were quite a few bags and boxes of scrap and donated fabrics. 

I brought them home and started sorting.

Well the tubs are now tidied up.

We are having a charity sewing night tomorrow night so I thought we could use some up. We found some sweet flannelette and some cute kids prints. So we have decided to cut them into 6.5” squares and sew them together again making little kids quilts.

My daughter and I had a fun night out at a painting class for a fundraiser. This has been rebooked a few times due to covid. Well it’s here.

Neither of us has painted before. So we booked for a bit of fun. We started on some platters and a glass of wine.

Chose our colours and started. 

There was a group of 10 and we had so much fun.

I received this lovely tea towel in the mail from Maria - WA today. Thanks Maria, yours is in the mail too.

(I can’t show mine yet but I think it’s cute)

Look at the cute teapots

We had our grandsons for an overnight visit. It was fun. We ate a quick dinner 

then played bowling on the Wii. 

Then we had a lovely lunch supplied by our daughter and husband for my hubbies birthday. It was so good to finally catch up with lots of lockdowns due to covid

The only bit of sewing is a gift I have made for a friend. They are easy to put in the post.
