I've been complaining that my togs (Queensland speak for bathers, cossie, swimmers, or swimming costume) have not seen water this summer. We've been too busy, or too tired, and the weather too wet or too cool.
So on the 3rd day of autumn, we finally got to go swimming. Up early, a quick 1 hour drive north, slap on the sunscreen and an oh-so-sexy-not sun shirt, then a very refreshing and longed for swim. I really do have lovely togs under that shirt, but they are only seen at night or in a shady pool. Look at that body - Jennifer Hawkins eat you heart out!
We had coffee, gooey cakes and delicious pies at nearby bakery before coming home.
In the afternoon we delivered the latest baby quilt. I took my camera but forgot to photograph our newest arrival on her quilt! Rats!!! I'll have to tie that camera around my neck. We got lots of cuddles and I had a lovely play with her 17 months old big sister.
I did manage to sneak in a little sewing. I must learn to read the instructions better. For this SKoW quilt I had to cut 1 and 1/2 inch squares, lots of them but less than what I ended up cutting. Der! Then I had to sew them in pairs and fours. Read carefully - 54 pairs makes 27 quads not make 54 quads. Another der! LOL. Another thing I didn't realize was how many spotty fabrics I had picked out for this quilt. Still I like how it is turning out.Today was just a lazy one with hubby cooking a Thai green chicken curry for tea. Yummo.
A good week coming up, hopefully with a bit of craft time.
Take care everyone, particularly those in flooded areas down south.
