    I've made a start on DS shorts today, hopefully I'll be able to finish them off tomorrow, they are much needed in this weather. At the moment I'm hand sewing though so everything is taking so long.

    It has taken me a week to get the quilt for Janine to this stage, ready for backing and binding.

    @Merfe, your little man looks like he is ready to wear his new shorts in the pool...
