After the frantic pace of the last couple of weeks it was lovely to have a relatively quiet weekend.
On Saturday we just hung around the house. Not sure if I even left the house. Hmm, can't remember. Today we had baseball in the morning and then quiet activities throughout the day.
I made this scarf in Collinette Shimmer 5 (Sea Breeze). It's part of a gift for a friend's 40th birthday. Lucky girl is going to Paris, New York and Colorado as part of her birthday festivities. I'm not jealous. I'm not jealous.
I also finished off these scarves and put the fringes on. These ones are in Collinette Point 5 (Monet). One each for KB and her buddy Fashionista, because they like to dress the same, and one for my Perth-based goddaughter.
I took time to admire the Hydrangeas in our garden. Not sure how we managed to get such a good colour spread this year.
Got an early birthday surprise from ArmyWife. I have been coveting this book and can't wait to have a really good look through it.
And I've managed to make the mix for this year's Christmas pudding. I'm running a bit behind with the pudding this year but I've made it much later than this before. Tomorrow the pudding spends 5 hours simmering away....yum can't wait until Christmas when I can eat it with loads of ice-cream and custard.

With the pink/blue hydrangeas, it's all about soil acidity, so yeah, it is weird to see 2x in the same spot with different colours, unless someone has been adding something to the soil of one ?
The white one is like an albino, and should always be white, yeah ?
I always get pink, although I love blue/purples best. Too lazy to measure soil acidity - hey, I have *some* life ! ;)
And to the left of the blue hydrangea there is a much smaller bright bright pink one...
Well, in that case, you suck then, and I hate you.
( and next time I go to Bunnings, i'll git me some of that hydrangea-blue soil additive stuff... ;)
Hydrangeas in November?! Can't imagine. Oh why I was born near the Polar Circle?!
