Miss M spent the first half of the week with us and fortunately the weather was behaving itself which allowed us to do all the outdoor activitites that we had planned. First up was our ferry ride from Manly to the city. Coming into Circular Quay
Heading home with the City behind us
The next day we headed off to Balmoral Beach. Unfortunately the water was quite polluted from all the recent rain and flooding so swimming was off the agenda but we did go for a walk and enjoyed fish and chips for lunch.
The all important chocolate cake was made
Challenging grandpa to a game of Snap
Miss M has since returned home to enjoy the rest of the school holidays with her mum, dad and various friends.
I was asked by one of the ladies who bought a bowl cosy did I have a dinner plate size one......"leave it with me and I will have a play around and see what happens" was my reply. I did say that there would be no charge because it was my pro-type but she had to give me feedback as to how it works, should it be smaller, shallower or???????
Here is the result. This was modelled on one of my dinner plates. I did give it a quick trial in my microwave and it seem to work perfectly so it will be interesting to hear her verdict.
I have also been asked to make a soft bag suitable to carry an Ipad in for someone who uses a walker. After some discussion we came up with sizing, handle lengths and using Velcro as the closure instead of a zip for quick and easier access. That is in the drawing up stage at present.
Thanks again Wendy for organising us and you can see more crafting here.
Wishing everyone a happy and safe Easter.
Back soon and in the meantime
Happy sewing all
