I am loving our weather right now... it's not too hot and not too cold! But to be truthful I am even looking forward to winter... at least in winter if ya get cold you can put more on... where as in summer we can't strip off much eh?
I'd like to come back as a man... at least then I could walk around without a top on!
Today: taking Griffin to his Speld lesson then once I'm home I expect Amanda and Emily to arrive. I am soooo loving seeing so much of our newest Grandbaby... I'm hoping she will continue to see heaps of us .... I love how her eyes light up when we talk to her... melts me heart.
PURE LOVE for that wee baby.
Yep, I'm a soppy old tart I know ... lol.
I might even spend some time later on reading a few blogs.... I've been so busy doing my sewing I have kinda forgotten everything else!
ONWARD...
I laid some of my blue blocks on my bed to see how the quilt might look... (ignore the red, that's from the duvet cover underneath)
It's been an eventful morning.... on my way home after dropping Griffin off at his Speld Lesson I witnessed a two car accident on the motorway just 3 cars ahead of me... it was rather scary... but it looked like no one was badly injured... just shocked.
Then when I picked Griffin up he had a surprise for me. Every week he can earn 'points' from his Speld Teacher and once he's earned a certain amount of points he can choose a gift for himself. Well unbeknown to me he has been saving up his 'points' to get ME a gift!
Amanda and Emily have arrived so I'm off to spend some time with
End of Day: we've had a lovely afternoon.. lots of kisses and cuddles with the baby... I can't think of a better way to spend my day.
Dinner is done and dusted, happily watching Coronation Street now!
DIET: errrrrr
nite nite.
And down our way it is getting COLD crisp like FROST crisp!!!! Try not too spend too much time spoiling Emily!
ReplyDeleteWhite. That way the blue will really stand out.
ReplyDeleteLight blue with a clear sharp pattern in white or dark blue, maybe tiny paisley or similar.
ReplyDeleteThat's my choice until I see yours'*smile*
Blessings
The dogs are sooo cute. I've been so taken by Emily I almost forgot about them! Gosh, that Griffin sure is sweet. Boys can be such a darling! My son has given me superb gifts in the past.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the time with her, i mean them! x
ReplyDeleteI go for White lay a white sheet underneath to see that effect and show us!! ohhhhh 2 comments in one day I am on a roll.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of Griffin:-) Enjoy your time with Emily.
ReplyDeleteThat is SO sweet of Griffin, what an absolutely lovely thing to do for you.
ReplyDeleteWow how sweet of him to buy you that necklace!! He's a winner for sure :)
ReplyDeleteThat is soooo sweet of him to do that!! My son did that recently using his good behavior money and I didn't even blog about it. Sniff... I should have. :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what a sweetie.
What a sweet thing to do. That is a definate Proud Mummy moment.
ReplyDeleteMy vote goes for a light blue for contrast, but keeping it light.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Grandma!
ReplyDeleteAnd just love the necklace :)
Griffin is such a sweetie! That is so thoughtful, especially when he works so hard for the gifts. You must be very proud of him (the product of great parenting on your part).
ReplyDeleteI'm the opposite, no matter how hot it gets, I can find a way to get cool, but when it gets cold, I can never get warm.
ReplyDeleteI like the necklace!
You have had quite the day today! Your quilt is looking great...I'm not sure which color you should go with for the sashing, but I agree that the dark blue would make the quilt seem "too" dark.
ReplyDeleteThat was so sweet of Griffin to save up his "points" and get you a gift. Shows how much he really loves you. And that little Emily is a peach... I can understand why you want to spend so much time with her!
XOXO,
Cyndi
I'm g oing to chime in and say light blue for inside, but the darker blue for around the outside! I loved your necklace! What a sweet, sweet boy!! Most kids would have bought for themselves. Big Hug for Him!!!!! The pups are darling, I like them fluffy best....debbie
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling tears coming on! Just the sweetest, most thoughtful and kind thing for Griffin to want to get his mum that lovely necklace. Beautiful.. You should be soooo proud to have raised good kids.
ReplyDeleteLove the quilt. I don't even know how to sew, but I'm seriously thinking about making one (or at least a block) like this.
I'm hating our spring. Rain, rain, and more rain. And we've only had two days in the 60's this year so far. It's suppose be in the 70's by now.
