Ooh its getting chilly...

Am sitting here catching up on emails, and sorting out photo's on the PC... and there is a definite chill in the air, think I'll get a mug of tea soon, to keep the body warm while I type :)

... have spent the weekend getting over a head cold and migrane - not a good combination.

Saw my gorgeous nephew at Wellington Airport on Saturday in between his transfer flight from Timaru to Rotorua. My immediate thought was "god he's got tall" a good couple of heads taller than me, and here I thought our Kaitlyn was tall - and Marcus was towering over her too.

Don't you just love the wording in the background of the 2nd photo.."Family's everything"... I couldn't resist :)



Hot chocolates were the top of the list, then a scout around the airport checking out the CD shop and before you knew it, it was time to give the boy a big hug and kiss, and send him on his way to Rotorua...



Worked a little on some cushions that I'm making Junior Witch out of her Wedding Outfit - it was a horrible feeling cutting into the outfit, though I hope the crafty outcomes will be okay... here is a little sneak peak of "in progress"...



...Junior Witch's only request was that I keep "it" neutral in colour - once the projects are finished and have been received I will then post the photo's of the completed projects :)

First day of the school holiday's today - crickey it feels like the kids are always on holiday lately... two weeks of sleep-ins ahead of them (and lots of little jobs I'll leave for them to complete each day - tee hee).

Saw "Horton hears a Who" movie over the weekend - so Dr Seuss - a great interpretation of the book - much better than 'Cat in the Hat'. Was great humour for young and old and one that will be worthwhile watching again on a lazy Sunday afternoon (on the couch under a quilt of course).

Still hand stitching the binding on my 'girlie' quilt, this is a pic prior to quilting... just love the colours and so completely different from my other quilts I've done, not sure where this one will reside as yet... have even had offers to buy it off me - how can you put a price on a quilt, when they've been made with love and enjoyment... I don't think I can let this one go as they are fabrics I brought from a voucher husband gave me a few Christmas's ago...



Just phoned husband as he is still at work (10.49pm)!! Great overtime - though he will be knackered tomorrow - one of the big units in the crushing plant broke down late this morning and they have been fixing it ever since so the plant can get back into production... he's so loving being back on the tools and doing the maintenance work again - such a happier man :)

Time to sign off and do some blog browsing...

Love and Hugs

Love the colours on your "girlie" quilt - pink and green always look good together. Enjoy your shcool holidays - I am on holidays this week with my two kids as well - hope my week off doesn't go too fast!
