My weekend

My finished fairy,
Wool I bought
This weekend I:

-went to a fundraising evening for my sister's choral group. There was a silent auction, fashion parade and the group sang a few songs- a capella, barber shop style- simply beautiful.

-watched Lucy at Little athletics. I always have tears in my eyes when I watch these girls compete against themselves. The 1100m race this week was tough in temps. in the high 20's but they all gave it a go and all of them made it. 2 weeks ago they ran an 800m race, and right at the start one little girl fell over. Another girl in the team stopped to help her up and they ran on together. I was in tears as these 2 little girls came in at the end, and I wasn't the only one touched. I overheard 2 Dads commenting on the sportsmanship these girls showed, and one of the organisers bought them both an icy pole to congratulate them. I still cry now when I think of it..

-went to the school fete. It was soo hot and all I managed to do was to sit in the shade and watch the kids run around. I did manage to spend some money at the silent auction but as this year I did absolutely nothing for the fair I thought I should at least buy something. Quite proud of myself that I didnt spend months sewing for the fete- but unfortunately the craft room was looking a bit bare this year- may try and do something next year...

- finished the quilt fairy I have been working on as well as another one (just had to finish the face). Unfortunately no house painting done.

-bought some wool for crocheting. Made a cute birdie decoration (pattern courtesy of Lucy from Attic24) to send to my sister for her birthday
