In the middle of moving house!

So we have bought a new house! 4 bedrooms, big rumous room and a great back yard for the kids! We are waiting for our settlement day and in the mean time we are staying with J's Mum to save some extra money instead of paying rent for the next month!

So my machines have gone into storage! I am having some big withdrawls, let me tell you!

So I am doing some hands on stuff. Tonight I have started a nice weave scarf! Should be finished in a couple of days!

FINALLY!!!



Well after changing my mind to press stud closure on the shoulders I bought a kit from spotlight. J warned me that it was not going to work but I asked him to apply them anyway. He was right. So I had to change the shoulders to ribbon tie!




Ohh well they still look great!


Here is our beautiful daughter G with bed hair modelling her new overalls!!!

HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY JUDY!!!



A beautiful family friend has celebrated her 60th birthday! We joined her and her closest for lunch today! Divine day. We made her a little signing book so that all her guests could sign and mark the day in ink. Judy is a lover of red so I bought some beautiful red paper and made this for her.



HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDY!

A slight delay! - Thanks Kids!

Well due to most of my time being spent with our sick son W, I have had to put the machine away. However, things are on the improve and looks like it can come out again!
So off to Spotlight tomorrow to get some snaps as I have decided the shoulders on the overalls will be dont with snaps instead of buttons.
So we should have a finished product tomorrow! Cant wait!
