Not quite a picnic in the park!!

DH and I decided last week that come what may we would venture up to Maleny this weekend. We got a new picnic basket as a Christmas pressie from SIL and BIL and thought it was the perfect opportunity to christen it. Hmmmm. Perhaps not. Unfortunately it really wasn't the weather for a picnic, but we were optomistic, we thought it would get better. So after checking out the latest Endeavour Prize home (gorgeous by the way ... wouldn't mind moving if we won that one!!!) we headed to the shops for a bit of a wander. DH found the perfect Welcome sign for our home ....I love it .... but this is the other side ...... he he, perfect for when you want to be alone!!!Do you love his "scary" face???? LOL, he looks tough doesn't he!!?!!?! Nah, I didn't think so either ;o). So we did a little browsing, and a little shopping ... and this is what we drove through to find our "perfect picnic spot" ......You can't really tell by the piccy cos the wipers were on but it was absolutely tipping down!! So here's where we ended up having our picnic ......Not quite what we had in mind.....but hey ... it was warm and dry :o).......... cute picnic basket doncha think?? It reminds me of Yogi Bear and Boo Boo - maybe we should call it our 'pickanick basket' instead LOL.

As for stitching, I've been getting a bit more done on my Hexagon quilt ... the border is growing ... I took this pic a couple of days ago and I've done some more since then. I'm really happy with how it's coming along :o).I'm off to put the kettle on now ... I baked this cake this afternoon and I can hear it beckoning to me ....... yummmmm .... Lemon Fudge cake :o)Hope your weekend was a good one ...

Take care ...
