Fathers Day
Yesterday- 4th September was Fathers Day and also for Christchurch the 1 year anniversary for the 7.1 earthquake that woke us at 4.35am.
We celebrated Fathers Day with handmade cards from preschool and the gift from Master W and Master B was a game of Connect 4 so we can play as a family. It was a beautiful sunny day so we had a picnic in Hagley Park, kicked around the soccer ball and finished off the afternoon having photos in the daffodils.
Here are a few photos from our day.
We had a wonderful day and every day I am thankful for my family!

Quilt for Master B
I'm making another quilt, this time its for Master B for Christmas. I have already made a quilt for Master W here.
This is how I start a quilt.......it starts with an idea scribbled down and fabrics I want to use.
I had a bit of quilters block with this quilt. I had fabric above, with my homespun plain bright colours from Nelly Applebys. I knew exactly what I want it to look like (and they never look 100% like my doodles) so the other day I brought more fabric Alexander Henry- Rush hour and also Map in white print. So fabric buying sure did help! I saw down in one evening and put together....
Its ready to be basted!
