We've had a very busy weekend here at home. I could have done extra shifts but I gave myself the whole of my rostered weekend off again. BLISS!
But as I said we have been very busy. The arrival of lovely warm summery weather prompted a big outdoor clean up.
Once we were done I suggested we add some bunting on the deck.
I bought this maritime bunting a few years ago but this is the first time we have hung it. It looks great fluttering out there in the breeze.

Torstein will have his 3rd birthday this week, so of course as we had the family here for their regular visit on Sunday and there were also presents and cake.
My pal Debbie had made a discovery bag for me to gift to Torstein. Both he and Grandad were kept busy for quite some time
as they discovered just how many dinosaurs Debbie could squeeze into that little bag.
I'm not sure who was more excited by it.
It was a lovely evening.
Torstein's sister Charmaine played eye spy with me as we looked for matching fabrics on my latest EPP.
I've decided that it is about the correct size and I just need to fill in the gaps along the edges, then add borders and it will be ready to layer and quilt. I hope to add a few more hexies today, before an early start at work. It will be nice to relax for a short time today, I've had a busy morning making and baking in the kitchen.

I hope you had a great weekend.

Your deck looks very inviting, and the bunting is a nice touch.
The shots of Torstein and Grandad are really cute.
I want to know how many dinosaurs were squeezed into that bag. :)
