Warning - long post - lots of photos

Another week zooms by with so much to say.
I'll do it in photos with captions!

First then

this is my first attempt at log cabin - the cushion from the Crafter's Companion with piping! Never done that before either!

Next - a fund raising coffee morning for the Moon Walk - arranged by Dorothy at her local community centre, we made over £100 in two hours with some exceptionally good cakes. I was too busy selling them to take pictures, but I managed this one of Jenny's Delia Smith marble slice.

Now that you're all hungry, some exercise - there has been hardly a minute to draw breath this weekend.... gardening - here is Geoff making this years compost and using last years

and a shed to build to keep the logs and bikes under cover - excellent help from Dad, with a lovely visit from him and Mum

(do you see where it is now Martha?)

Here is a photo for Alan and Sheila - ice creams at the Garden Station having just been eaten

And what joy - a Bank Holiday! Time for a 'training walk' in fact that time is well overdue. Today I clocked up a very sedate four miles and met this chap

that very thin strand of electric fence was all that stood between us. I think he looks meaner than he really is, but I didn't hang around to find out.

And I've left myself with no time to tell you about this wonderful find at the Oxfam shop.... but this one deserves a whole post of its own!
I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Take care

Cakes seem to be a regular feature in your posts, can you stop making me drool. Very impressive first attempt at log cabin work. I love your house.

Is that you house, it is just beautiful. Oh I am so envious .... green grass and cows.

Have a great week.

What a wonderful busy weekend you had. Love that quilt.

I see now. you didn't make it clear- it sounded like you were putting a second story on the coal shed which would have been a fairly useless erection. this however is like a palace for firewood. is there any side of the house which is not safe from development?
I'm going to ice my seed cake.
See ya x x x x x x x x

but I said it was above the coal shed and it is - does seed cake travel well in the post - or would the icing stick to the envelope? what kind of seeds?

[martha]

It was lemon and poppyseed, the icing failed because we have not enough icing sugar but it still tasted not bad. I thought to send some to john but decided it would be stale and fall apart, he got the spoils of our recent trip to the chinese supermarket instead.

Looking good.... glad you had a good weekend!

Lovely log cabin pillow - makes me wish I could sew! Glad you didn't linger too long by the bull - he does have a kind of menacing glint in his eye - lucky no-one was wearing red!!

Love the cushion. What a busy week you have had.

That cake looks delicious. I've never done piping either before, is it hard ?

The quilt is fantastic from Oxfam , I always wonder why poeple part with such wonderful stuff ! Luckily they do though, for charity shop addicts like myself.

Quilting to drool over.

As for the bull, I'd be wanting more than a strand of fence between him and I!
