Busy ..Busy ..Busy..

 

What a Great Feeling
When you are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel………….
This year I have been busy making handmade gifts for friends and family………..
Disposal Kitchen Bag Holder & Matching Tea Towel
And 10 minute Table Runner
Made many……………
By the way the first took about 1 hour just couldn’t get my head around the instructions so what better way than ask…After being shown well no stopping 10 table runners here we come …………..
 
Also I started knitting dolly’s outfits for Elia
For her 5th Birthday we gave her a Cabbage Patch Doll
Yes with Birth Certificate…..
They are back producing them again my girls had one 30 old years ago …….
And yes the Answer is they are still unattractive after all these years
Poor doll.

Peter & Yukas Baby Shower

 



So Happy with the cake

Its raining but what a great time we all had.....
The rain is so much needed………. So I am thinking it was a good luck charm …………..
Starting with games … feel like a little girl so much fun………….
Pin the Dummy on the baby well laughing and giggles………….
Holding baby in one arm crying………..Baby screaming………… Then hanging washing with one hand and trying to peg…………..I am sure we have all held our baby’s and done this……………Lunch was yummy
The boys arrive back just in time to cut the cake and have coffee
3 little baby’s all day such a delight …One little one didn’t even know he was here……………
 I
thought he was a toy a one stage ………
Now we are just waiting for the big Day 1st Jan 2013
