COUNTDOWN to what I can hear you ask.... well to when school starts again OF COURSE!
6 sleeps to go.... though I must say it feels like these holidays have gone rather fast. Still... it will be nice once they are all back at school and I can get me house all tidy again.
I'm a 'tidy freak' me thinks! (Stew reckons it will be etched on me tombstone)
Now... some photos from yesterday:
I took lots more photos, but as I'm still getting used to me new camera a lot were ikkkk... blurry, bad lighting etc. It takes time to figure it all out eh?
Today? Well I got the wadding and backing fabric from Spotlight in Hamilton yesterday so I can start quilting each Dresden Plate block before putting them all together! Only got 30 blocks to do!
ONWARD...
And I'm still wondering if I should do a couple more 'designs' in the corners too? Like some blocks with flowers, some with ?? IDEAS APPRECIATED...but nothing too difficult!
End of Day: had a lovely evening yakking to some of me kids over the computer... saw Russell's partner's big preggy belly... looks IMPRESSIVE I must say.... lol. Fingers crossed the baby comes soon!
DIET: not too bad
nite nite.
Your son looks almost clucky - how gorgeous in a young man! Hope he finds a really nice girl someday and becomes the fantastic Dad he looks like he could be :-)

Holidays are just going to fast..... I want another week with my kids. Hope the weather is better up there than down here :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat. You have such lovely grandkids. Ooh, I love Emily the most! Why do I suddenly want ice-cream for breakfast?
ReplyDeleteGreat pic of all the grandkids together. We tried to get one of my seven yesterday but weren't too successful in getting such a good one.
ReplyDeleteWow, so you guys have an army now! We were visiting family yesterday. My husband's grandpa and grandma had 10 kids. Then they had kids, now we're having kids. So now when we get together there is just this army of people. lol
ReplyDeleteIt must have been so nice to have all the Grandkids together.
ReplyDeleteMy 2 are at Allstars which is a musical theatre holiday programme all this week and Saturday afternoon so with last week being a short week as well the holidays have flown by.
You and Stew are amazing Parents and Grandparents. The kids all of them are lucky to have you. You do so much for them and with them and enjoy every minute of it. They are beautiful grandchildren!
