courgettes,cakes, clothes, and erm quilting!

Yesterday was a productive day!

Picked my first 2 impressive 8 inches of courgettes ooh er missus very tasty there was too, made aubergine-less moussaka which Ben always manages to eat all of so at least he is getting quite a bit of veg down him, mushrooms, tomatoes, courgettes,  onions and potatoes and surprisingly he always loves it, ben had a pair of jeans that where really tatty at the base and I thought id convert them into a pair of dungers for Keon by just cutting about 3 inches off the bottom of the jeans, cutting one part of the cut off in half width ways and sewing that to the top of the jeans for the bib then just adding blue cotton to the bottom of the legs, some strips for the straps and a star..took about 1hr hand sewing quite pleased with them, made a load of cakes and biscuits for Ben's fete and spent an hour there having fun and winning a bottle of booze! then to round the day off nicely id finished my 1st quilter square for my monthly quilting square again quite pleased with how it turned out just need to finish it off

now busy weekend Harry Potter tonight with my mum whilst Dave babysits, and then tomorrow's craft fair with Katy eek scary stuff..the fair that is not Katy
