Daily Drivel

New arrivals...

It was such nice weather again today, Idecided to go to the Cotswold Wildlife Park today for a walk round. I'd checked their website hoping there might be news of baby lemurs but there was nothing new up. However, there are some new babies - twins born just 6 days ago :-) I will be going back again very soon to see if I can get some better photos of them.

There was a lot of snoozing in the sun going on today!

(The furry lump below is a sloth by the way!)

a bit of swimming to cool down...

and some munching...

Whatever is going on, you can always rely on this chap to keep lookout!

I love going inside the tropical bird house. The birds are very used to people and lots of them will come up really close to you.

 

Robin

I was trying to get a photo of the blackbird in our garden eating grapes which we hung on a branch (when he realised they are a tasty treat he ate them all very quickly!) but didn't have any luck. The robin is always happy to pose for me though :-)

Lap quilt progress...

I finished adding my wonky striped borders to this on Friday. I need to sort out the backing and then baste it together and have a stiff drink before attempting to quilt it! Please with how it looks so far and really looking forward to getting it finished soon!

I finished something!

Well, almost. I need a button! My friend came round yesterday to help me finish off the bag we started making a while ago to help me learn cutting out & chain piecing etc. Really happy with how it's turned out. I'm going to make another one soon - I already have the fabric for the outside ready.

Today I'm taking my sewing machine to be serviced. It hasn't seen a lot of action but I'm going on a free motion quilting course soon so I want to make sure everything is in perfect working order before then! Luckily the place I'm taking it will service while you wait so I can be sewing again this evening! I've only got 2 borders to do on my quilt and I'm keen to get it finished.
