Haven't posted the blog post yet, thought it might be a nice idea for a Mother's day gift in the new year. Love that you can pick up the mason style two piece lid, preserving jars from the supermarket now. Makes them affordable to make. If I could find some old mason jars with a bit of character that would be nice though.

Bit of baking (muffins for MrEH's breakfasts for the week), a walk, some flopping on the sofa with books or newspapers - can't beat that! Thanks for sharing your sunday with us.

It was a PJ day but we relaxed and sometimes that's just what you need to do. Love the photo of you kneading bread. I did a bread post on Sunday about my bread making and wheat grinding. By the way, thank you so much for including my blog in your weekend reading last week. I was thrilled!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07322166393958405201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-52675479277417551712013-11-18T22:33:42.855+10:002013-11-18T22:33:42.855+10:00I just love seeing the pics of Jamie.

No shops were open, it was Church in the morning, a roast for lunch, and the rest of the day was spent reading, snoozing or sunbaking in the garden. Things have changed: shops are open, wineries are open, and workshops are conducted. Hubby went for a 200k bike ride with mates and I participated in a calligraphy workshop with a friend. We both enjoyed our day, but I have to admit, your Sunday afternoon sounded blissful.Gina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07532527261977368083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-89566377981715711992013-11-18T12:10:12.725+10:002013-11-18T12:10:12.725+10:00Just loved your post...What a gorgeous grandson......Just loved your post...What a gorgeous grandson...We had a quiet day today as I was feeling a little "under the weather."

It is a very rare thing for us to do - and we all enjoyed it. When we came back, we all spent some time outside, some late-autumn work in the garden, some playing in the last streams of sun this afternoon. Around four pm it is getting dark. We still do not have any snow, which makes everything much darker around here. It will brighten up when the frost arrives. So - then inside - I cooked dinner, the children played and my husband and I shared some wine in the kitchen while cooking and talking. Candles lit, fire in the oven, all well. Then nice long dinner with the whole family. Time to talk and laugh. Some crocheting and a quick bread made for tomorrow - and then evening meal with the children, while we read a book together (Harry Potter, right now). Tucking small ones to bed, singing for them, doing some laundry, cleaning up.... Nice afternoon.underveishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00460614986346991038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-56674002364082403242013-11-18T06:15:48.868+10:002013-11-18T06:15:48.868+10:00Your weekends with the little lad must be quite a ...Your weekends with the little lad must be quite a delight for you both.

After we get home from church, I make lunch for the kids and then either nap or relax stretched out on the couch to read, or catch up on some of my favourite blogs. It is nice to have a day when you can sit back and take it slow and not feel like you should be doing something "productive". We all need a little quiet time once in awhile.
