The end of the road in some ways...

Before I explain my "end of the road" here is another Sour Dough loaf in it's cotton bed...
It was very tasty thank you.

End of the road... my sewing club ended last friday, with each child producing a large doorstop size chicken and a smaller version in which was left a strategic hole for to push a Cadbury's creme egg into... which created great hilarity. 
I also ended my time as YQ workshops taking person whilst attending the Guilds AGM in Dundee last weekend. It was quite a bit of fun really. Driving up after school, tea out, finding our hotel... breakfast out, lunch out, tea out again, and some sewing in between!!

Unfortunately when we came home, we discovered Mr H had sliced a tendon in his finger whilst cleaning my greenhouse. He had visited casualty and been told to return Sunday AM early, to have an op to repair the damage.
So now we have a poorly Mr H, with a rather large bandage on the middle finger of his right hand. The girls are quite amused by the fact that in effect it his sweary finger and is permanently swearing!! 

So once the calm returned I got a telephone call from a friend who hand kindly collected our competition entries from Dundee as we were not able to stay to see the winners announced or collect our entries.
Not only had she collected our entries BUT also...
No2 D had only flipping well won her category in the AGM comp and got a golden trophy!! Talk about elated. She was beside herself. Not too impressed by the Quilting dvd which demonstrates quilting techniques and pattern planning - bit dry for under 12s (who picked it a s a prize!? - there was a fab stall selling paints and stamps)
No1 D also got a surprise, coming in 2nd place in her category. SO she was pleased with that.. obviously some green eyed glances at the sparkling golden chalice!!

And tonight was my last evening class for a few weeks due to the Easter Break. I do LOVE my job, but it is lovely, particularly because our weather has been so good, to spend the evening at home, eat with the children, not have to rush everyone...
so a few tasty treats were made
