Let's start with Friday night which was Friday Night with Friends (FNwF) virtual stitching night which is run by the wonderful Cheryll, you can check out her blog to see what everyone else got up to this month.
It is also my own personal Friday Frolics night (see this post here for an explanation or if you want to join in the fun), well, it was a bit of a bust - it started out well, when I picked up as my FF, "Strawberry House" by LHN.
This is what it looked like on Friday night:
Then I stitched quite a bit BUT then I realised that I had made a mistake halfway through, so then I frogged, stitched some more, made a different mistake, some more frogging and ended up here:
Luckily, I found some more time to work on SH on Sunday and so it is now sitting at this point:
So, some progress has been made, although somehow I have lost my Ladybug floss - oh no, does that mean another trip to my LNS?
Saturday, DD and I took TraderVic out for Father's Day (yes, I know, a day early) to Farm Vigano in South Morang. We were so surprised by all of the traffic on a Saturday afternoon along Plenty Road - where was everyone going, we wondered.
We had a great lunch with a wonderful view.
(Neither DD nor TraderVic are keen to have their photo taken, so that is why there are no pics of them).
Saturday night, DD bought us tickets for the movies, so TraderVic and I went to see
The Man from U.N.C.L.E
Oh, it was so much fun! Loved the ladies' 60s dresses.
Sunday was water aerobics, household chores, lots of baking and some more stitching.
Here are the kittens supervising me completing my household chores.
And here is all of the cooking I managed to squeeze into the day: Salmon with soba noodle salad and wasabi "mayo", Lemon slice (took most of it into work and it is nearly all gone!) and rhubarb and apple crumble (one of TraderVic's favourite desserts).
I started a new Halloween piece, called "Moon and Spider, Apple Cider" by Needlework Press - it is stitching up quite fast so far!
... and I leave you with a photo of my 96 year old Dad on Father's Day - looking good, isn't he?
Well, that is all from me for now, don't forget if you want to join Friday Frolics, just comment on this post here or send me an email.
