Birthday boy

ok kids have food, well told to eat fruit so not sure if they are or not hehe and Jack is due for more pain relief in 10 mins so I tought I would pop back in with some pics of Luke this morning.

Tonsils are gone

Well yesterday Jack had his tonsils removed.  So after a very long exhusting day we are taking it easy for the next few days. He even managed to have a nap for 2 ours today which will do wonders to help him recovered.
His tonsils were very infected so he is on some pretty stop antibiotics for a few days and once he recovers fully we shouls have a new child LOL.

In other news I got an email today from scrapbook creations asking for a LO I did to be published. This is certainly an ego booster since I haven't scrapped since the retreat, actually I have a few things to finish on those LOs oppps.

OK well best be off as I have one birthday boy and one sick one upstairs wanting some attention

things

Well there have been plenty of things happening in our little world.  First of all Jack has been sick again with almost all of last week off school.  But the good news is he will be getting his tonsils out next Tuesday so that is all good, he is really being good about it all as well.  He did ask me what happens if he isn't asleep or if he feels something but we have had a chat and it is all cool.  It is amazing how perceptive they are.

I have been to see my gorgeous little nephew and what would my blog be without a pic of him LOL
the tiny thing on his new rug.  Stupid me didn't take a pic of me with him. grrr can't believe I forgot to take one
isn't he just perfect awwwww


And also it is my nieces 3rd birthday today, so we have had crazy kids talking on web cam this arvo.  It really is lucky we are interstate cause when these three get together it is a made house LOL

Will sign off with that since I better get the vegies done

Lots of things

OK so I have been busy trying to get a few things done lately
First of was my new nephews quilt and it is now complete.  Was not expecting him early so that threw a spanner in the works PMSL

I had a little play with free motion quilting I am am rather happy with the results.  Not much in the quilt but I wasn't sure how well it would turn out or how easy it would be since I had only practised on smaller pieces.  I love the binding fabric with this it is just fantastic how well it suits the quilt.


So now all I have to do is post it.  I am in the process of booking my flights and car hire to get to Bendigo for a few days to see my little Nephew.  It is getting exciting and I can't wait to meet him.

I am still working on my Nans quilt and have decided to free motion quilt that one as well, so it may take a little longer.  Also have Amy Kate's bday presents to do as well, arghhhh it all comes at once.
But with my new machine I should be able to whip them all up PMSL
here she is.  



It is the singer Quantum 9940 cause I just couldn't afford a new Pfaff.  But this machine is a beauty I love it it is so nice to sew with.  Now I can't wait for mum to come visit and have a play.
 now the other thing I have been working on was a mini album for a very close friends bday. But since they are not my kids I am going to have to do a little blurring of faces before I post it on the web.

Better get back to sewing

It's a blue one

OMG my sister went into early labour tonight and since bubs was breach she had a c section at about 9pm and has just had her little boy.

I have another new nephew.
James Stanely T 6lb 2oz

I can't wait for pics and to fly down and meet him

awwwww I loves ya little sis

introducing Mabel

After dragging out my softies book I decided that Mabel was my best choice for a 1 yo and a 2 1/2yo so here they are in all their cuteness.











And of course I had to make a skirst for both of them.  What little girl doesn't love to dress and undress their toys LOL

Sewing pants

Oh before I begin my little nephew has a name.  Took his parents 3 days to name him LOL he is Orlan Brody H or as we have already nicknamed him Obi  LOL  Can't wait to give him a little hug.

On the sewing front I have been making some new pants for Luke.  I find it hard to get pants that fit him nicely.  so since it is fairly easy to do I whipped him up a couple of pairs.  One pair of brown cords and a pair of denim pants, and I spruced them both up a bit.










I have also been making Xaviers bday present. he is getting another pair of pants and a top again this year. Have only made the pants at this stage but they came up rather nice.





Also finally got a picture of Jacks quilt, taken out on the line after I washed it.  And one of Orlans quilt as well, now I just have to finish his singlets and I can pack his things up and send them off.




Also made Ebony a new softie to send in the parcel as well.  Will have to download the pics for that though.

Both boys are upstairs sick at the moment so I need to get back up there and clean.  The house has been neglected for a few days since I have been sewing LOL priorities.

be back later with pics of Mabel the monkey
