January highlights

 I can't believe that we are nearly in February. Life has been a little quieter without the boys and their parents but we have managed. I have put together the centre of my Owl and Hare Hollow BOM and am adding the inner borders now.

I have also completed the edges of Amanda's daisy sewalong. I loved working on this and especially using my lovely liberty stash.

Alice has has a fabulous time at Smad camp once again. It is such a fun filled week for the children. Thanks to the amazing leaders who are all volunteers.

The miss and I also have been doing the groceries together (and morning tea of course) and also had a nice time and lunch at the museum. 

A bit of stitching

 Thought it was time to blog again though not too much has happened. It has turned freezing here again after a few weeks of very pleasant weather. We loved having Ma to visit last week but sadly didn't take any photos. She is always a pleasure to have visiting. We enjoyed shopping, eating and watched a few shows together. On the stitching front, I have been continuing working on Amanda's Daisy sewalong and have been enjoying all the english paper piecing.

The new Homespun came too recently so I have started the blocks for Part 5 of the Owl and Hare Hollow BOM.

Just found this funny one of Ma trying on a dressing gown we bought for Janelle.

Here are our very pretty azaleas in the garden. 

Sewing updates and family

 Not as much to post about when you are just at home! I have been stitching and working on the Owl and Hare BOM from the Homespun magazine. I have completed Part 1 and am working on Part 2. Lots of hand stitching in this project!

Jayne had her beautiful pouch to share with us last Wednesday. It looks so lovely.

Jack performed in an assembly last Friday. They did so well performing in little plays! Jack was a pig wearing some of Alice's pink clothes.

We also enjoyed having Ma and Deirdre in Canberra on the weekend. We had a lovely dinner together on Friday night and then we went to see Lois and Phoebe in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory at their school. Lois was Charlie and did so well.

Then, last night, we went to see John Cleese. It was very funny.
