One missing Hmmm Margaret must have had a coffee.
I put these into patty pans as I hate washing the muffin tin, these being so small, some mixture always finds itself on to the pan, that'
s what you can look forward to in old age arthritic fingers. Sewing is good , goood therapy though and makes it all worth while.
I wanted to make a round child's bag for a friend's GD. I took an entree plate from the cupboard and used it as my template, I then asked DD what the circumference of an 8" plate was --- while he did mental arithmetic I placed a mark on the plate and run the plate along the tape measure . We both came to the same number at the same time. I left the strap separate so it can be tied together. I think she will like the little bag for winter.
The giving and receiving of gifts has to be number one on the best ever thing list.
DH was going to be on the phone for a while this morning so I made sure that I was out of the house ---- You see --- He doesn't know that he is going deaf and he yells when he is talking to someone on the phone. So off I went to visit two friends and hopefully bring a bit of cheer into their day.
Last year our GS rang a couple of times to ask if We could pick him up as the Magpies were attacking him on the way home from school. Yesterday there was a commotion outside the back window, these two maggies were locked together by their feet and beaks , and wrestling
I handed the camera to DH , went outside and told them to stop fighting--- about ten maggies swooped down I came back inside and DH took this photo and it was all over. Do you know how big there beaks are ???? Huge and long when you are up close.
DGS can call anytime he likes I wouldn't want to be attacked by one of these, I am looking at the crows in a different light now. I wonder if it was a territory thing with these Maggies all swooping in , the noise of the wings and the squawking was horrific for a minute or two.
Now onto a lighter note --- I made a quilt---
from scrap. I started sewing a few squares together and then squaring them up, then a few more until I got a big oblong then I started again, until I had a big enough rug. Would you believe I had a large piece of scrap polished cotton enough to put on the backand around the edges . I put wool batting in the middle and used spray too hold it all together , smoothed it out and it was finished. I am now hand binding the edges and will take it up to Greensborough later in the month . I have a friend who does not sew. I write to her and send little things saying " Aren't I lucky to have a friend who doesn't sew " This is for her Polymyalgia knees.
That's my lot for this week Margaret
