Summer is my favourite time of year. We are almost 2 weeks into summer and the warm days are becoming more frequent. The garden is in bloom and the air has a sweet smell about it.
Our garden is gifting us with some beautiful berries as the moment. I picked Raspberries and Strawberries tonight and they taste delicious.
It doesn't matter what it is but if it is home grown it always tastes better.........
Especially with a dollop of whipped cream.
Hubby's favourite cake is date loaf so tonight I baked him one. We love to have it hot out of the oven with a scoop of cream.
Something else that I am cooking up at the moment is a new quilt design. It all started when I unwrapped this delicious bundle of Park Avenue.
The lovely muted tones and patterns look so lovely together.
The fabrics have been short listed and some designs have been drawn up in my lovely sketch book that Joy gave me for christmas last year.
I have chosen the threads so all I need now is the time to start....... I am hoping that I can begin over the christmas break. What do you have planned? Are you going away for a short break?
We are having a totally unplanned break - Just going with the flow. No lists or chores to be done just lots of R & R and hopefully lots of stitching.
So now I am counting down the days until that break begins.
