a busy day, filled with fabric and family.  Washing went out and came in and went out and came in several times – dratted Melbourne weather.  The kitchen was tidied and mussied up again.  Over and over :-)  Now, it is Sunday evening – one of my favourite moments in the week.  We’re all snuggled on the sofa, watching the ABC – there’s always something good on a Sunday – I’m knitting, Abby’s doggedly continuing with her background, Julian’s reading.  It’s been a lovely weekend.

:: first cup of tea and needlepoint::

:: a flurry of knitting to get the alpaca socks growing again … I had knitted the cuff and was about to finish the lace set up row when I realised I had
15 more stitches than required.  Ahem ::

:: deciding it is much easier to find hairpins when I just leave the contents of the hairpin box scattered all over the bathroom bench.  If only Julian could see it my way ::

:: observing – with relief – that my third attempt at a sourdough starter has both bubbles and an appealing sour smell – maybe this one will be the winner! ::

:: chopping into some deliciously fresh new fabric – flannel pjs for Abby – very Austen ::

:: loving orange – it’s popping up all over the place ::

:: spending fiddly, pleasurable hours on the details ::

:: satisfied that the new pjs are finished, on and loved … and enchanted that she is so determined to finish that needlepoint asap ::

    I feel like I am a time traveler when I read your blog!! It’s only Sunday morning here, and I hope my day is as lovely as yours was. :)

    Cheers!

    Love the jammies Abby. I sat and stitched tonight as well. I like these cooler evenings, makes me want to sit in my chair and thread those needles.

    Blessings Gail

    Very cute pjs, and yes very Austen fabric. Love ‘em! Looks like you had a lovely, relaxing Sunday. Enjoy your week.
