A day of fishing

After reading that the lake in the local park was being stocked with trout, hubby took our grandson fishing.  The weather was gold and damp, the ground was muddy, the didn't catch a thing, but they had fun.

With the weather being so much nicer Saturday, they gave fishing another try.

Success!

 
They caught a dozen rainbow trout.  He was very proud, but wouldn't touch them... not even to pose for a picture!

Starting a New Project

Saturday morning my grandson woke up in a great mood....   And.... he decided he wanted to make a pieced pillow for his aunt.  Last year he had made one for great-grandma and now he wanted to do another.

I had been contemplating what I could distract him with so that I could make more progress on my En Provence.   He provided the answer.

I had some  extra postage stamps cut up and I sat him down and got him started.

 I had him sort through and match up several squares.  I gave him a refresher on getting started and he was off.

He completed four twosies and was ready to quit for the day.


I was able to stitch up the last four blocks and sashing blocks for my En Provence.  I'm ready to finish this soon!.
