maandag

Well, this blog post began before lunchtime and it is now 10pm.  Alas, how the day goes past, quickly.

The grandchildren arrived shortly after noon.  We had a brief visit and got everyone settled and then headed off to the aquarium.  I haven't been there in years and years.  Great fun.

The day started sunny so I took a couple more photos of some of my inherited sewing paraphenalia. (oh, oh, how do you spell that word - perhaps I shouldn't use it if I can't spell it)

A lovely little sewing kit, with thread and painted leather thimbles

Another pretty sewing kit

Small silver thimble housed in this little basket

I have been doing a bit of sewing.  Friend Laura gave me a beautiful rainbow packet of batik's.  So since I do love delectible mountains, thought I'd give this a try.  So far, I'm quite pleased,

I think I like the top layout best.  Your opinions?

Caroline arrives from the Netherlands on Wednesday, so just tomorrow to finish up whatever last minute cleaning I need to do.  Luckily, it isn't much - Neither she nor I particularly care and she says if I don't worry about it then when we arrive at her home in May, she won't have to worry either.  Turn about is indeed fair play.  Life is good.
