Patchwork Cushion Ta-Dah!

Hello there! A super quick post today as E and I are jollying to Dorset tomorrow and I have a lot of packing to do. Is it just me who detests packing? I don't mind unpacking so much but something about having to make a list of necessities and get it all together makes my heart sink. E's last exam was yesterday and she is currently having a driving lesson, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to clear my camera and do a quick post.

Just a few things this week:

Lovely scented stocks from my neighbours to thank us for cat sitting over half term. There were choccies too but I donated those to E to help with the revision.

 Lemon Drizzle Cake:

 Spotting the new baby deer in the garden - it was distinctly wobbly when E took these photos but we saw it again yesterday and it was gamboling around like a little lamb.

Deciding to make my hexagons into a cushion (I was tempted by covering the piano stool but decided that needed something a little more robust). Here I am hand quilting - I can just about cope with that for something cushion sized!

Ta-Dah!

Next time I might try piping - do you need a special sewing machine foot? This time I was just so pleased to have something made from my very own patchwork; I so enjoyed this and it's a perfect craft for doing out and about. Crochet cushion and throw patterns courtesy of Attic24.

Setting up my patchwork on the go tins to take to Dorset - diamonds this time! 

 E celebrated her last exam by making a tiramisu:

That's it - I said it was a short post. I'm just off to hunt out sunhats and suncream - ever the hopeful one! We're looking forward to walks on the beach (whatever the weather), cream teas and, more importantly, not a textbook in sight!
Have a great week.
Toodle Pip for now. x
