Lynda in Wonderland

Had such a fun time on Saturday at Sweetheart T's 5th birthday party - it was held at the Discovery Centre at the University and all the children had the best time playing and running everywhere.  She didn't want to go home so Mum and I stayed there with her and Gulli for a couple of extra hours.

Then on Monday T started school!  A big couple of days for her - she's settling in to her new routine very well, although that will change in a month or so when her Mummy goes back to work.

Jenni and Kurt stayed over - so lovely to spend some time with them.

Last Hawks home game for the season was Sunday afternoon - wasn't going well for the Hawks and then the stadium roof sprung a leak so the game was abandoned just before the end of the third quarter.

I've enjoyed watching the Australian Open tennis but I'm glad it's over for the year.  Think I'm a bit "tennissed-out".

Have managed to keep up, so far, with the Scrappy Trip Around the World sew-along but not sure how long this will last.  I think the quilt will look pretty when it's all together - it will be a large quilt at around 96" square.

This week has been lots of pressing and trimming "Wish Upon a Star" 160 half square triangles and 128 Flying Geese blocks.

Now ready to sort them in to piles for the 15 remaining blocks.  I was hoping to have no fabric repeats in the individual blocks but it's not going to work out.

We've had torrential rain overnight and all day today which will continue well into next week.  I think we've had enough now and it should move over the mountains.
