Weekend

Such a great basketball game on Friday night - comeback of the season for the Hawks and so very exciting.  Sister-in-law and nephew were visiting the area for a couple of days, so it was lovely to have dinner with them and for them join us at the game.

We've been experiencing very hot weather over the last couple of weeks - don't know how the people out west cope with the extreme heat.  Saturday was beautifully cool - had much more energy to do a few things around the house.

Christmas decorations are finally packed away and all the tablecloths, tea towels etc have been washed so they can be packed away tomorrow.  The University runs "Goodwill Hunting" during January and February - it's a good opportunity to clean out cupboards and donate unwanted items to students setting up house this year.  Filled a couple of boxes on Saturday and there will be more over the next few weekends.

I had one row to add to "Seaglass" on Saturday evening before sewing up the borders and I ran out of the sashing fabric 3 rectangles short.  Made a quick trip to Karen's yesterday afternoon to buy some more, so might get back to it tonight.

There are enough strips leftover along to make a lap-size standard "Seaglass" quilt, so picked up a different fabric from Karen to use for the alternate blocks.

Sewed up some more "Moda Love" Quilt string blocks and finished off the first quarter on Saturday night.

Last night I started sewing up blocks for the second quarter and, thanks to the Federer/Tsitsipas game taking so long, they're all done.

Was up early this morning and the second quarter is now sewn together.

Mum and I went to see "The Favourite" yesterday - it wasn't at all what I expected.  I have quite mixed feelings about the movie.  Let's say the costumes were beautiful.

Miss ChaCha coming to stay tonight and tomorrow - we'll be having a busy time and will also visit GG.
