morning ladies We had rain last night! After I had watered the garden lol. It must be Murphy's Law. I have some roses to pick this morning, Lemon and Lime is prolific and a really good 'picker' in the vase. It can last up to 10 days.
The bin man was a tad late yesterday but I was able to squash a few more armfuls of summer prunings into the bin before he came. Lawns are mowed too so a productive day outside while it was cool.
It's our daughter's birthday today, time is just whizzing by. MrK and I will phone her later today when I get home from Tauranga. My sister and I are having a day together - this could be realllly good or realllly awful lol. We'll see how it goes.
I have some vintage lace from a pram cover Mum used for us kids that I have unpicked. I suspect my grandmother sewed the pram cover using left over lace from a wedding dress she sewed (she was the local seamstress). I have cut it into squares and basted it onto a lining fabric. I plan to use it along with fabric from a vintage tablecloth Mum had to make a quilt top. I must be nuts lol but I have this vision in my head. It's not a hard pattern, just squares to keep it as simple as I can and so hopefully, less swearing at the sewing machine.
Edited to add, it's not rude to ask for the cake recipe Jan, I would ask for it too!
Happy crafting
