GIRLS HAD FUN

Yesterday Brylee had a new friend home for a play date.... and it went so very well... I'm thrilled to bits.
I made sure I had the time organised into activities that would be conducive of both the girls having fun together... and it worked.

They swam, had afternoon tea then sewed a little heart cushion each:

 ABOVE:  Brylee sewing her heart... this was the first time she had ever used my machine, or at doing applique... and she did an amazing job!  Look at how precise she is at keeping on the edge!  Way to go Brylee!

ABOVE:  Brylee's heart cushion... she is so very proud of it... she's taking it to school today to show her class.  I'm so glad I thought of it... what a fun activity for the girls.

Now Griffin wants to make one for his Teacher!  Awwww what a sweetheart.

TODAY:  well I have a few jobs to do ... but will be taking it VERY CAREFULLY.. no housework.  Just need to do a couple of things in the mall.... so I'll go down and get them done then come home and read a few blogs I think.

ONWARD....

SO I went out and paid a bill... looked around the mall slowly for about half an hour then came home.   I am doing just what the doctor said... taking it easy!
It's rather hard to do though!    I keep seeing stuff I should be doing, like the housework... but I want my back to get better asap! 

I had lunch, then intended to read blogs...but ummmm.... I fell asleep!  What a nana I am!

lol...WELL.. I am!  Any day now Amanda is going to make me a Grandma for the 7th time!   She is due in a few days.... every time my phone rings or I get a text I jump thinking it will be her telling me to get in the car and come be with them for baby's birth!  I can't wait... and of course I want Amanda to get the birth over with cos she must be so hot and uncomfortable in this heat.

I know... I had a baby in January, in February, in March AND in April...all summer babies!  It's not fun.   I enjoyed the June and November babies much more cos it wasn't so hot.  I haven't forgotten any now have I?   ha ha ha.

Now:   for everyone out there who didn't like what I'd hung on the end of my new necklace... I decided to look around for something else,  cos I have to kinda agree that it wasn't in 'keeping' with the other materials.  This morning I found something else. 

ABOVE:  the final edition.  It's a bone and wood fishing hook, styled on a Maori design and I really, really love it!  It's still got a nautical theme...  do we all agree it's perfect now???

Obviously not everyone will like my necklace the way it is now... but I do and that's what matters.

End of Day:  I've been sitting on a secret for almost a week.   I can tell you about it tomorrow.
DIET: not bad.
nite nite.
