Saturday Again

It's fathers day tomorrow, I hope the boys get something for their dad. It will be 30 years since mine died tomorrow, but on a brighter note it will be spring! I love spring.

what I have been up to lately

I have joined in a crochet along. I am happy with the colours so far it is going to be huge! 289 stitches. I need to get a bigger crochet hook to start the chain string as mine are very tight. never mind

I have been doing a bit of patchwork as well. These blocks are from a swap from years ago.

 These are for a scrappy trip around the world quilt which I have finished the quilt top but no photos yet.

chicken, pea and pumpkin risotto mmmmmmmm

that is what I made for lunch and a few lunches through the week, I have also cook a roast lamb shoulder for dinner. yummo

May to July!

All I can say is I have been reading everyone else in the worlds blog and neglecting mine.
June not much happened, my life is pretty boring really.
July; I am now secretary, publicity officer and raffle committee co-ordinater for the fishing club. busy busy. It's ok I have got into a bit of a routine with working full time, it only took 12 months.
I have just completed the Sutherland to Surf walk this morning, it was meant to be freezing today but the sun was shining it was still chiily but a good day for a walk. Unfortunatly not being a fitness guru I have hurt my foot. The last kilometre was the worst and longest. Skye got me interested, she was raising money for a family from her gym so it was a good cause.
