Charlie meets goat

I just had to post this!
From our adventure to Collingwood Childrens Farm this morning.

Before...


After!

Apart from this minor incident we had a glorious time, the sun was shining and we even got to see some newly born piglets!! So cute :)

And Escher was as happy as, well, a pig in you know what, holding the guinea pigs.

A lovely day was had by all- hope your day has been the same!

Charlie's Great Grandma's Patchwork



It's gettin pretty cold here now, especially in our ice box of a home so I decided little Charlie needs a snuggly doona. She only spends the first part of the night in her cot, but I want to make sure she's toasty roasty.
I really wanted to use this hand stitched patchwork that my mother in law passed on to me for Charlie. It belonged to her great grandmother and middle name sake Evelyn. It's so beautiful...and hand stitched! It was too big for a cot, probably better for a single bed, So I used a very wide straight stitch to tack it to some fleece so I can un-stitch it later and back it properly. I filled with an old wool quilt I had that wanted to recycle and wa-la! Snug as a bug in a rug :)
