I love this sellers work at Etsy! The cup cakes and the Christmas puddings are just so gorgeous!

I'm a little obsessed with felt right now :) I think I'm going to be busy making tags and cards and scrapbooking embellishments out of felt for the next little while :)

Lloyd!

Quit reading my blog and do some work!!!!!!

Then I may THINK about making you mashed potatoes ;)


Love you!

My Tuesday....

Susannah had her ultrasound this morning.....Lloyd took the morning off and took her so I didn't have to take the children with me :) It went well...the radiographer took 30 pictures of everything from her heart to her kidney and liveer as well as her stomach and bowels....now we have to wait 3 days for the results...

Susie had to have totally fat free food all evening yesterday and wasn't allowed water after 5am so after the ultrasound, Lloyd took her to Timmys for breakfast.

Lloyd came in for a while when they got back and offered to take the rest of the day off but it seemed silly to just have part of a day together - so he has taken Friday off instead :) Woohoo!

After Lloyd headed off to work, I made the most of Susie being home, and went out for a walk with the dogs child free :) I took my camera and grabbed the opportunity to get some pictures of the frosty morning. It was lovely out - not cold at all :)

What else have I done today? Some more sewing, some laundry...two loads so far.....and Abigail has been making Christmas ornaments using buttons and popsicle sticks - a craft from Sams Chirp magazine!

I said I'd go out sledding with the girls once Chris is home to babysit...Sam can come ouot for a while but I doubt he will want to stay out for long so if Chris is home he can watch him for a while......

Thats my day so far!

Jack frost......

The hoar frost from last night settled on the basketball net.....to view these properly click on each image to see the larger picture!

See!

Rosie will pose where I want her to AND smile for the camera :)

Shame her coat is so messy lol - she has a really thick coat and because of all her swimming all summer long it gets full of matts constantly!

My gorgeous Amber-girl.....

Amber is rather like Sam and will often refuse to look at the camera and as soon as she sees the camera she looks away.....Rosie is the opposite and loves the camera :)

This mornings walk

Some pictures of my Rosie-girl on this mornings walk...

Charlynn.....

Thank you! I'll watch Cityline this afternoon and see :) We certainly always have plenty of 2 by 4's here :) Lloyd seems to need them for all his projects :)

Lynne!

Lynne,

I'm so so sorry to hear about your precious little Niece being stillborn. I just can't imagine how sad and traumatic that must be for your whole family!

I hope the hospital was a good one that knew how to really help and support your brother and his Wife through the birth and afterwards. I have heard so many stories of both good and bad experiences (well, not that it can ever be a good experience...but supportive)

Cheryl, who also sometimes reads my blog, works with many many families who have had a stillborn baby or lost a baby in the early months (as she herself has, twice)....if you would like any suggestions of books or anything that could help I am sure Cheryl would have plenty of answers and advice!

You and your family are in my thoughts.
