My life in Pictures

Christmas came and went, we had a full house with our DS and his

partner, my dad and his wife + the usual residents of our house

Walli's first Christmas, the Christmas Tree was a great

source of entertainment for her

Henry loves Christmas.........

My crazy kids

I made Zucchini Pickles, Chilli Jam and Tomato Relish

they are divine

I've worked on my Confetti quilt

Some of what I worked on during 2016

Confetti just needs the borders quilted, I'm just going 

to crosshatch them, I must say I did enjoy the

hand quilting process

Steam Punk, I have approx 15 blocks left to make

then I can start sewing it together

The colours Ive used this year!

We've had cruise ships visiting

Mary Tolman progress being made

I changed the cream hexies out for  Kaffe Fassett

Silver Spots, it looks much better

Miss 15 says Henry looks like a loaf of bread

we went camping for a week, lots of progress made

on Mary Tolman

We fished

we read books, played cards, I stitched by LED Light

DH and Miss 15 packing up the trailer, I don't assist when

it comes to setting it up/packing it up. 

The resident alpaca's, one of these chased Miss 15 and I 

on our set up day, its a very stressful process

Mary Tolman 

I love this place

1st day of the 2017 school year, Yr 10 for 2 and year 8

for my littlest one

Ive taken a break from stitching and picked up 

my crochet again, this is my Attic 24 Hexagon blanket 

which will eventually live in Bertha our Vintage caravan

its passed the sleep test

Miss 13's Spice of Life blanket

from the driveway last week,

SOL progress, Im now 3/4 done

determination is his middle name

Im waiting for he post man to deliver this pattern

'Majestic Lanterns'

and these luscious yarns are also on their way

Bertha has a new permanent home, where we love to go

camping, dh has been working hard on getting her

ready for us to use, we taken out the double bed and

put a queensize bed in with storage underneath, he's fixed 

the small leaks, windows, fly screens, he's wired it up for 12vt.

We still need to get a new 12v/gas fridge, some lighting strips,

curtains and gather the supplies we need for a solid annex

but Bertha will be back in use by Easter. We can't wait

My crochet hexagon blanket will suit Bertha perfectly

Happy Easter

Good Friday we attempted to go fishing in dh work boat

sadly the fish also had a long weekend and were

nowhere to be found :)

Saturday Em went to her friends house, we had a potential buyer

of this house come through for a look and then we decided

we really needed to have a good look through our 'new house'

before we moved in, so Imogen came with us and we went

for a look, it's alot roomier than we realised, we planned who was

going into which bedroom, discovered that there really is nowhere for

our current fridge to live inside the house, plenty of room in the garage

for it, so came home via retravision to buy a new fridge

this is what we decided on

and this is what we currently have, although ours is 9 years old

 the girlies woke up to find the

easter bunny had been to visit and spread little eggs

all over their bedroom floors.

they enjoyed a breakfast of chocolate and hot cross buns

hubby and I had bacon and eggs and coffee.

Yesteray afternoon saw us visiting friends for an Easter drink, before

heading to a bbq with other friends, it was a late night

we didn't get home until midnight.

and today we decided to have another go fishing, we caught

enough for Henrycat to have a fresh fish feast.

I need to start organising myself this week to shif next week.

We get the keys Thurday morning, that will give me 2 days to

get everything bar the furniture over to the new house and

unpacked. The removalists are booked for the 21st and we have

a few friends with utes and trailers hepling out too, the only payment

they requested was beer and a feed at the end of the day,

that I can do.

I did get some time to sew on Saturday afternoon, I sewed up the last

of the hexagons for my Kaleidoscope Hexagon Quilt, now I just need

to finish stitch the centres on, and I have 2 small blocks to make to be

up to date with my hubby's New York Beauty quilt

and my mama, she is still in hospital, still hooked up to

an IV of antibiotics, she has had 2 or 3 blood transfusions and

in our daily text told me today she is very bored lol

she must be feeling better. Hopefully she will be home

tomorrow or Wednesday,

I hope your easter was as fun filled and as full of good times

as ours has been.
