Welcome 2010

Wishing everyone a great 2010 and may it bring
you joy and happiness and more , for me i have
made a number of New Years Resolutions but i
can't tell you what they are... they are a secret

Christmas Bear

This is a Christmas present i received from my
lovely friend Wendy-Sue who lives in the U.K.
All hand made and so perfect, she is so talented,
I envy her and her imagination... I am really so
lucky that each Christmas and each Birthday i
receive one of here creations.

Our Christmas

This is my beautiful grandaughter on Christmas
morning, isn;t she just adorable? Not that interested
in her gifts but found some technology that looked
of interest instead

Now Uncle Shaun show me how to use it please.
I have to know for the future and how i can ring Nana

These are the men in my life, as you can see all
varying ages.... young to old!

Caprice loves reading, the more books the better.

Not sure what is happening here but someone

isn't impressed at all.

This is a toy Caprice was getting instructions

to speak into... not that easy.

Here we go, instructions and demonstrations

will help..... eventually they did.

Lunch time at my sisters place, there seems to

be a lot hiding from the camera.

From the other end, more happy smiling faces.

Our meal was beautiful and we had a lovely day

with family. The weather was a bit gloomy but

we still manged to have an after noon of darts.

Merry, Merry Christmas

A very Merry Christmas to everyone,
may you all have a fun filled day with
family and friends,

Lovely Giveawayhttp://Irish Muses

Mickie is having a lovely giveaway,

This Is Nice- I Love It

This is a new day, one that I have never lived before.
I stay in the Now and enjoy each and every moment.

Fifi The Bear

This is one of my bears i have finished recently as a
Christmas present for a friend overseas.
He will be packed up this week for his journey.
Shush now don't say a word it is a secret

Colourful Bag

I am still working my way through my U.F.O.'s
This bag i have sitting for so long and finally got
motivated to finish it off

Shaun and Caprice

We had visitors staying with us and we all
went out for a lovely dinner. This is my son with
his favourite niece, mind you he only has one.
Caprice is only just learning to talk and calls him "yish"

Fabric I Bought

I bought these fabrics on Saturday, thought they were
rather pretty, I am thinking i can use the brighter ones
for making some Christmas presents, now to find the time,
can someone send me some or tell me where to find it

What I Won

I won these at my favourite and best Yahoo Group C-R-A-F-T
it was a guessing competition for those that stayed home
and didn't get to go on the retreat.
Even though i hadn't been well it was a lot of fun.
Lauren was so gracious to run it while Khris was away
having fun.


This is what i won from http://www.sewprimkhris.blogspot.com/
It was a guessing competition to guess Khris's birth weight.
After a lot of thought i was lucky enough to guess it.



This is my combined photo of my winnings, the mug bag has
already been used and there are no tea bags left in the holder,
i love my cups of tea. Waiting until Christmas to hang up my
lovely decoration.

Finished Bag

This is a bag i recently finished.
it is just a nice size, not too small
and not too big

Owl Bag

Well what a surprise, there was an Owl bag
to put my shopping in, he is super cool

Owl T.Shirt

I bought these pyjammas yesterday for my grandaughter Caprice, i thought they were just so cute, the owls are a hoot, i showed them to her but didn't mean a lot... well she is only 16 months old

This T. Shirt was just so nice i couldn't not but it.

There are so many things around with owls on them,

it is becoming contagious

What a Beauty

This is another bear made by my lovely friend Wendy-Sue.
What a talented lady she is, if only i were that clever

How Nice is This

This is another made by Wendy-Sue.
How life like is it?
Just adorable you must agree

Bridge Climb

We have been lucky to have some lovely friends
staying with us.
Two are from Holland and are my husbands
nephews in-laws, does thatmake sense??? I hope so.
The other are friends of theirs from Holland.
I know there are only three in this picture and i can
count, most of the time. One unlucky person wasn't physically
well enough to do the bridge climb but the others had a wow
of a time

Look What I Finished- Nick And Rudy

I decided that i really should finish off some of my U.F.O's
and i have quiet a few of them, believe me.
I will now have to decide what to work on next and that is
not easy when i have so much to choose from
Lots of ideas and lots of plans but just no time

I Won Over At Khris's

I won over at http://sewprimkhris.blogspot.com/
It was a guessing competition to guess what Khris weighed
at birth, Khris said she was an average weight so after a lot
of deliberation and elimination i guessed right.
Woo hoo i am so excited because i never win anything.

Big Hips

I wonder how many of us have said just that?

Gliding

We bought our son a gliding ticket for his birthday in June. There were a few cancelled days because of the windy weather.

Today it was a lovely clear and warm day, just ideal

The picture below shows Justin getting all of his instructions and being strapped in " very firmly"
Up up and away!

Cutie in Pink

Aren't i a cutie?

Looking lovely in pink and

checking on my teeth

Keys

I have the keys for the car, now will someone tell
me where the car is.

Pencils Now

I am determined to draw, i have to find the right colour, Daddy is closely supervising.

Eating Crayons-Yum Yum

Nana said to draw with the crayons but i thought it would be best to eat them.... not that nice!

Flowers

These are some flowers out of my garden , a
lovely season Spring with everything in bloom

Boring

What's on T.V. i wonder? May be it's not that interesting,
i wonder if i can change the channel using Nana's phone.

Multi-Tasking

I can multi-task just like anyone else, i am starting young
so will have this mastered soon

This is a beautiful bear made by my friend
Olive who lives in the UK
The bear was for a charity auction and
raised 500 pound. Olive was elated and so
she should be. Isn't the nose exquisite and
eyes match so well.
Can you see the little earings?

Funny Ones

For all of you girls out there that do quilting and those that never have enough fabric these lovely pictures are for you.

Do we ever have enough fabric?

When we are looking for the right fabric for our current project we never have the matching piece in our stash, do we?
