Yesterday I went online to see how to oil my sewing machine, cos I am worried about it needing oil.
Seems you can do it yourself with a lot of sewing machines, but not mine. Damn. So, scrap that idea. The sooner I get it serviced the better.
So, with that in mind...
ABOVE: The runner tops I got made yesterday. Today I'll get them quilted and bound, then I can churn out a few more before sending my machine in to get serviced.
I hate the idea of not having my sewing machine!
Last night I managed to get a couple of photos of the kids.
ABOVE: A few snaps of me and the kids. I feel bad I forgot to take any of Stew and the kids.
Next time darling, for sure.
Lacy managed to come and go unscathed. Except for the gherkins upsetting her tummy once she got home.
Well... as already mentioned... I have sewing to be getting on with.
So... catch ya later.
10.30 am. The morning is going very well. I've almost finished one of those red/green runners.
I had to do a quick run to Spotlight for more black fabric. Luckily it's on sale, cos I bought enough to last me at least three months. (I hope).
DIANNE: I will explain, seeing as you asked.
Amanda: Has four kids, Huston, Joel, Emily and Liam. We see Emily and Joel via our SIL Andrew.
Lacy: Has three kids. Brylee, Griffin and Keera.
Kelly: Has one kid, R. TOTALLY ESTRANGED from us.
Russell: Has three kids, Joshua, S and B.
Steve, married to Bex. Has three kids, Dante, Archer and Lily.
Mike and Joyce. No kids. Beau is their fur baby.
Brylee and Dom. Brylee is our granddaughter, who we raised from infancy. We go by Mum and Dad to her. No kids.
Griffin and Tash. Griffin is our grandson, who we raised from birth. We go by Mum and Dad to him. No kids.
Our 8 'kids' range in age from 45 down to 23, not counting the other 12 grandkids.
I hope that helped?
2.55 pm: And I'm just home from a visit to the Doctor. I needed to get repeat prescriptions etc.
It took me over TWO hours to get my meds today. 😞😖
I now have a massive headache, and won't be going back into the sewing room right now.
And.... it's now 6.34 pm, Stew is home and I actually did some sewing late this afternoon.
I will do some more this evening, after dinner.
But for now... it's probably time to sign off for the day. Not much else on tonight except feet up, and relax.
Catch ya tomorrow.
OH FUN! It's good to see Brylee again! And Dom. Cute pictures!
ReplyDeleteDo you have a post that explains your family/kids? I'm not sure who is who and get confused. Of course, if that's something you would rather not explain, i certainly understand.
ReplyDeleteThe kids look so happy. Look at all your achievement raising those kids/grandkids Chris and Stew. I couldn't raise 3 without ongoing drama. Back to my dizzy day. Kj
ReplyDeleteI loved the runners! I am partial to poppies. Bylee & Dom are such a cute couple. I am so sorry that you are estranged from part of the family but I do understand. My family is a bit messed up & it does break my heart.
ReplyDeleteHi. Bylee and Dom both look gorgeous and happy together....have a good day! Peta
ReplyDeleteI am 63 and have watched both my dad’s side and my mother’s side suffer from major estrangements. I stay out of all of it. I have to in order to stay positive and not get sucked into the strife.
ReplyDeleteI appreciate that you cherish the ones you have and see them regularly. That is all you can do.

Thank you for filling me in on your family! Now I can keep it straight. I love your blog, btw. I look forward to it everyday.
