Weekending

 

 

 

A weekend at home.

• I decided I need life in my house that isn't children, a cat or a husband.  No flowers in my garden to pick unfortunately.  So a bunch of glossy green and silvery leaves, in a cyrstal vase displayed with some treasures suffice.  I also bought a new pot plant  and re-potted a couple of other plants up.  Fingers crossed they keep growing.
• I have been enjoying watching Rachel Khoo's Kitchen Notebook: London, on television the last couple of weeks.  So I was delighted to find her french cookbooks for some beautiful weekend reading.  There are actually a lot of recipes I would like to make in these books too.
• Some sewing for the Pack Patch QAL - week 5.  This weeks themes were: Moments with Mum - the pink block represents my mum's and my love of gardens, flowers and visiting gardens open to the public.  The other block represents: A Joyful Moment with Children.  After much discussion with Miss B and Mr J, we decided that one of our best moments together was boogie boarding on a summer camping trip at Waipu Cove.  The sun was shining and the water was perfect.  We had a great day.
• The vegetable garden is flourishing.  We have been eating spinach (so have the snails), rocket and rainbow chard.
• Some more sewing ,  I have been trying out a New York Beauty block.  Unfortunately, I think the top piece may need to be redone for more contrast.

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend.
