• have been baking - a new recipe - Butter Crumb Ginger Cake
• blanket stitching felt edges, sometimes with beads and sewing on stars
• hand stitching tiny green stitches around a smaller tree
• making plans for a long weekend away - school finishes for two weeks holiday on Friday, so The Scout has taken Monday and Tuesday off  work and we are going away. (Expect photos next week)
• have been thinking about my vegetable garden and planning what I will grow this year.  I will have to sow some  bean and beetroot seeds next week for Labour weekend planting.
• am very pleased too see that my aquilegia seeds are finally sprouting - they can be transplanted into my garden soon.
• was keeping my fingers crossed for Team New Zealand in their America's Cup races, it is nail biting, stomach churning, agonisingly stressful watching these races. The last race is tomorrow!
