Well it has been a while :-)

Sorry it has been so long since I have updated my blog but I think time has just passed me by........... well my dd did give birth eventually on the 4th October to a darling little girl named Kaylee..... it is hard to imagine she is nearly 6 months old now.......time really has got away from me with xmas and all happening since then...... I promise to load up some pics soon...lol
Lots has been happening in my life since I last updated with all the kids and their cricket over the summer, thankfully that is all nearly finished. Just have Lauren playing in Melbourne this weekend in the Regions Country Cup. She is an under 14's western waves player but this is an open region cup so should be good experience for her to play against some of the state's best women cricketers..
Footy starts again in about a fortnight, probably not even that far away so we will be busy with that also I suspect..lol
Not much done in the sewing department of late...... have to learn how to upload my pics again. Have a new 12 meg camera and also a new laptop so quickly learning how to use both of these..vbg...
Off to do some more work........... lol kids have buggered up 2 pcs tonight so I am meant to be fixing them too............. never ending isn't it..

Playing the waiting game...

Well I am sitting here catching up on emails and playing the waiting game...lol
DD Brooke is going into hospital today at 11 am to be induced...
Her waters broke last night but according to her nothing has happened yet!! just some small niggly pains......
Am on standby for now as she wants me with her at the end!! not sure about that...lol
I am sure her and Tony can handle it together...lol as long as he doesn't faint or anything.....hehehe
Better go and get some things organised.. will update my blog when I have some news..
Catch ya all later.

Baby Andy

And this little fella is Baby Andy..

I couldn't just have a Baby Annie and Kitty without having Andy!!...

I finished him off last month but have had trouble uploading my pics to my blog.

He has an adorable birthmark on his forehead that is all thanks to Nikayla... she just had to give him a kiss and a cuddle just after I had finished making him and of course her sloppy kiss left this mark on his forehead...lol

Old Thyme annie

Well I have finally finished making something else for ME!!!....

I got her stuffed on

Sunday morning then stained her lunchtime Sunday.. Monday morning I did her face and finished off her clothes last night......

I am actually quite pleased with the way she has turned out..

She is a Make Mine Primitive pattern called Old Thyme Annie.. and once you get into it she doesn't take too long to actually put together..
