Day two of my week off has seen me busy with chores and relaxation.
I started the day with laundry. Once it was pegged out in the sunshine I got busy with my quilting frame.
It's not quite finished yet.
Maybe tomorrow.
Or maybe I'll do something else.
Next I went for a walk. I did 7.5 KM in the scenic reserve. It was beautiful down in there and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once I got home I had prawn salad for lunch then settled in my armchair to stitch by hand.
First I made up two more Christmas ornaments.
These are my Chookshed challenge #6. So I can call that completed.
They're secret, no peeping.
I wonder what next months number will be?
Once I had done those I intended to do some cross stitch, but found myself pulling out my crochet instead. I had ripped out a bunch last week and set about figuring out where to go next.
Why get fancy?
I'm using up leftovers, so rows will do just fine. So backwards and forwards I go adding on to these few blocks which I joined together.

After pulling in the laundry a look around the garden revealed a broken tomato plant, so the green fruit from the broken top is now on a sunny shelf still in the green house, it may ripen. I also pulled in another bowl of red tomatoes. The veg patch produced enough beans for tonights tea and these four little zucchini.
Yes they are small, but as most gardeners know the difference between a small zucchini and a marrow is only a matter of hours. LOL
I now have enough to make a batch of zucchini relish.
That will be one of tomorrows chores.
I'm off to look at my roast lamb. After tea I think I'll be doing some more crochet.

The perfect stay at home holiday! xx
Windswept is looking really good!
Great to see you quilting again and working okay.
Love seeing all the garden produce.
Not a bad effort for one day. Definitely more than me. Zucchini relish sounds good.
Pleased you’re having a great time doing the things you enjoy .
a fun day - the crochet solution will work well. I'm sure you will get through heaps in your time off.
It seems you are making the most of those precious days off. How great that you hang out clothes to dry... and love the crochet. It's perfectly suited to using up the yarn on hand. Enjoy your time!
I understand completely about zucchinis becoming marrows within hours. Been there, done that.
Roast lamb, my favourite.
Making the most of your days.....

I have not seen yellow zucchini before. It is the yellow of crooked necked squash but not crooked. Your quilt is lovely!
The watering can quilt is such a happy place for me!
Love the flowers outside the house and in. We have snow. I love the different seasons to give our world variety.
A busy day for you getting lots done. I have experienced the zucchini/marrow situation!! Well done on completing #6. Going great guns with your quilting.
