My Wednesday stitching girls decided as we were once again a small group we would take a little road trip down to Cleveland at Redland Bay for a change. We opted for a bit of culture, coffee, retail therapy, laughs and a very nice lunch.
The culture...... Redland Art Gallery.
We all enjoyed the art and had fun with the drawing board, contributing our bit to the space. Of course the discovery of a selfie machine was toooo much for certain people to resist misbehaving! Lol! Lots of giggling.....so nice not to act your age sometimes!
We had a wander around the CBD. I have always loved the beautiful, cooling trees and street art down here.
Huge Poinciana Trees which are a vision when in bloom....sadly the wrong season for blossoms yesterday.....but still impressive.
Lunch was delicious.....
And yet another selfie! But much more demure lol!
My happy little bundle from the local quilt store visit after lunch....and yes there is a purpose for my loot!
Definitely one of lifes pleasures, time spent with friends......slept well!
With Grandkids of different ages, we have several Sports Days to attend.
This week our youngest Grandson was very pleased with his ribbons and did very well in his race and athletics. It is lovely seeing them doing their best and having fun in the fresh air.
Today our oldest Grandson had his Sports Day....action shots.
Congrats from Grampy .
Stitching....I am working on No. 4 UFO. Borders for Blessings quilt. Basting scallops....
And sewing them together in rows.
Ready to applique the first lot of scallops on to the first border.......one down three to go! I have had to play with this a bit because in my wisdom I didn't do the sashing around the blocks which of course changes the dimensions....so the borders may or may not look ok....ahhh! Living on the edge!
So lovely people that's it from me.
Namaste and Blessings Michelle xxx
