I had a very relaxing weekend despite the heat and as a dear friend had her 60th birthday before Christmas myself and some other friends went to the "Willows" tea room at Mt Gravatt central for high tea to celebrate this wonderful milestone. I am ashamed to say I failed my duty as a blogger and horror forgot my camera. I felt like I had left one of my arms at home.
We were secreted away in a lovely little room with air conditioning and sat down at the prettiest table which was beautifully set with Lady Carlyle china.....devine. Now as I don't have any of that pattern (sob, tear drop falling) and I really wanted to show you how pretty it is, I found this one.

Sunday saw me tackle the little boys I Spy quilts and I managed to get one top together with it's borders
I then got invaded by the future owners of these quilts for swims in the pool so no more sewing for me but it was lovely and cool and we had lots of fun and managed to devour Weiss bars and icy poles before retreating to the air con. to relax.
I hope everyone has a lovely week. I am going to leave you now and get cracking on a instruction writing project that I have been doing in drips and drabs and which really needs attention but one which I have been avoiding. So time to stop procrastinating and get on with it.
Blessings Michelle xx

The boys quilts will be gorgeous. Such pretty china, it would have been very enjoyable playing ladies at high tea.
ReplyDeleteYou spent your weekend weel, with lovely things to do. Those quilt tops looks great. Never made a I spy quilt but it looks like fun to do.
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I have that dinner service. The funny thing is that I first saw it on the front cover of Australian P&Q some years ago and fell in love with it. I showed it to my sister who was staying with me at the time and she said that she worked on the factory where it was made and was able to get it for me - job lot and discounted. Result. Absolutely pouring down here this minute - again.
ReplyDeleteLovely china! We don't need the air conditioning here wish I could send you part of the cold and you send me part of the heat.How nice and cozy we would both be. Wishful thinking can't hurt now can it.
ReplyDeleteQuilts look great! Love the china. there is nothing like catching up with friends! Have a great week, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteWe're in for some hot again this week ...the weather has been very strange here . Hot , Cold, Hot.
ReplyDeleteI hear its going to be stinking humid when I head up your way next week. I dont mind the heat but Im not sure about humid.
Love those quilts!
