In 24 hours...

It started with dinner at Kezzie's.
She is right at home in the kitchen, and working on giving tips to Blossom...
Meanwhile Mr E and SIL relax out back after a hard fought game of soccer...
Remember this tablecloth I made Kezzie?
Just like it says, we were all blessed to sit together around the table...
...and how cute the mini table for the boys?
After a wonderful meal, Sam, Mr E and I went home and left Blossom to stay the night. 
Next morning after Sam and Mr E went to work the house was quiet, and the air still cool - perfect for baking.
A loaf of sundried tomato bread went in the breadmaker; orange and currant muffins rose in the oven; and fresh home-made orange jellies were setting for tonight's dessert. 
I got this recipe from Amanda's blog. So easy, and now I want to make apple jelly, and blueberry jelly, and, and....
Lunch break and the mail man arrived with this, straight from the UK!!!
Pieced together a new design for a cot quilt...
....until afternoon tea, then I painted and preened my toe nails...
...so they'd show off my new ruffled black thongs (flip flops)!
 Back to the sewing room, and time to do some machine quilting on the cot quilt....
Back to the kitchen for a roast lamb dinner with Mr E as both Blossom and Sam aren't home for dinner tonight, then I'm settling down to bind this quilt. Happy day. 
Hope yours is happy too. 
Hugs
Jenny

Oh what a blessed day - love the tootsies Jenny, although how someone can wear flip flops is beyond me, I find them terribly uncomfortable, lol! Your cot quilt looks so precious!! And time with family...nothing better in the world!
