I had a couple of glorious days off with F+T. We didn't get up to much, just enjoyed our free time with no boundary's.
We have made ghoulish fairy cakes and jam tarts and decorated the hall with spiders! Had long walks in Wanstead Park, built dens and ate biscuits in them.
We did try to visit the science museum but the queues were wrapping the building. Seeing as F+T have another week off AND an inset day the Monday after - we have decided to go then.
Ghoulish tart or Elvis?
I got on with some more knitting too this week, T's socks are nearly done and F's quilt has finally moved on. I'm also trying out some wrist warmers but because I've gone off tangent with the choice of yarn used, I'm not sure they will pan out!
The back of the quilt has been put together and all I need to do is put it all together and quilt it. I've taken the idea for this quilt from a book Material Obsession with a few changes. I'm not sure what sort of pattern to quilt on it. One of the pictures in the book seems to show a sort of sunburst in each panel but I'm not sure. Instead I was thinking of quilting around each branch and bird so that the back had the shapes of the front with some random leaf shapes in the big blank areas.
We are only half way through ours, some are coming to an end but hope you are enjoying your half term.
