Wordless Wednesday

 

 

A Productive Sunday

Today my home has been filled with teenagers eating cupcakes - FedEx had her birthday party and insisted ~all~ the food was cupcakes. We had:

  Sausage and mash cupcakes - sound terrible but taste amazing!

  Macaroni cheese cupcakes

  Cookies & cream cupcakes

  Chocolate peanut butter cupcakes

  Raspberry cheesecake cupcakes

We also had plans for vanilla caramel cupcakes and apricot mescapone ones, but our place was already cupcake-full by then. 

A busy day

I have a whole week off work and nothing serious to do other than snuggle the FedEx kid and make a huge fuss of her on her birthday in a couple of days. 

Today I finally got the gravel laid under the pots in my garden. I'd love to plant borders but the cottage is rented and, much as I love it as my first ever home-of-my-own, I don't actually know how long I'll be here. The girls are growing up and won't be living at home forever. So pots it is. My plants seem happy there and every new pot means an excuse to acquire a new plant. 

I started piecing a new quilt top too, from a jelly roll of The Spice Trail by Freedom Fabrics. I had sorted out the strips and was happily humming away stitching them together when I realised that I still hadn't finished my Legacy jeans quilt and fished that out to work on. Now I'm torn between the two, but jeans first as it was started first. Bad, seductive Spice Trail fabric enticing me into starting something new. It's just such delicious warm autumn colours and I so want to snuggle under it soon.
