Lobster night

For his 40 th Glyn had a list of things he wanted to do nw he was 40 ..... One of them was cook and eat a lobster, so for my birthday this year I decided to have a lobster evening and invite a couple of chefs round to help.

The lobster was delicious but a little disappointing as it didn't scream :-)

Freehand embroidery

For Ali's bitrhday I was lucky enough yo find a freehand machine embroidery course at fleet library. We spent a fun morning learning the techniques so I went home and did a bit more practice :-)

I can see lots more things bring created ..... Watch out for Christmas presents !

Rag quilt ...... First a pillow case

Rather than jump straight in and make a full size quilt I though it best to have a try at a pillow case first. It was relatively successful so will get started on the quilt next !

Best of British

This week gas been best of British week for year 5 ..... So unsurprisingly homework was to make a British collage......

I knew the scraps from the quilt I made Markus would come in handy one day ..... Just didn't think it would be so soon

Presents for Oma

The kids decided to make some bags for Oma this year ... they came out really well, I can see a theme emerging for the next lot of birthdays ......
