Kait's final school ball...

Tonight we held the pre-ball for Kait and some of her friends.  Her 'date' is her long time friend Kane - they have been buddies since intermediate.  Parents of the kids were also about taking photo's and enjoying a glass of bubbles.  Two limo's were awaiting to whisk the kids into town for their ball at St James Theatre.

Katy Perry came to visit...

This is the fantastic "cupcake" top Kait made this afternoon as part of her "Katy Perry" costume for a fancy dress tonight - she's hoping to win the 'best dressed prize'.

Below is the inspiration...

Have a great weekend.

Proud Mom...

Just home from UH College Year 12 & 13 media awards night (HOSCARS) - very cool night... and so VERY proud of my daughter Kait... her movie "KASSEY" (which she wrote, co-edited, co-screenplayed, directed, co-produced, as well as being main actress)... won best supporting actress; best edited; best cinematogrophy and BEST OVERALL Y12 MOVIE !!! So very proud of her and her friends Dan Henton (co-editor), Jacob Bly (co-editor), Heidi Filkins (co-screenplay, co-editor, co-producer, actress), Megan Eckery & Melissa Beyon (Actresses) and Callum Bircher (God). Oh and Kait designed the poster and DVD cover as well!

Kait looked amazing, so hoping she has the bestest of nights!

Snowing in Silvy...

Snow this afternoon in Silvy at our house :)

The family's snow adventures... while I'm at work :(

At Kaitoke, Wellington Heading to Kaitoke Heading to Kaitoke Like ice candy floss! Cute! Mr Frosty Becky's snow angel :) Just past Te Marua Lakes heading to Kaitoke By Kaitoke Waterworks turnoffBrr don't you feel cold just looking at these pics?

Keep Warm

Kait's first ball of the season...

My gorgeous girl attending her first ball, with her friend Andy. Kait was partnering Andy for the St Pat's (Silverstream) ball. Andy is going to partner Kait for her UH College ball in August (she has a different dress too!).

The saddest thing is how short I am compared to her :( she was wearing heels, though they weren't that high!

Not much quilting going on...

The posts are very few and far between at the moment... Have not been very productive of late, working a little more on the secret project and working on the Butterfly Garden BOM blocks, and working on another quilt top though nothing of note to show.

I did knit some fingerless gloves a few weeks back - these are excellent for those frosty mornings on the train - can still read my book and turn the pages LOL though the hands are kept warm and toastie. I haven't used those double ended needles before - you use 4 at a time - was a bit of a confusion to get started though after knitting three gloves I got a perfect pair!

Today DH helped his Dad split more wood (they had 6 huge gum trees felled a few weeks ago that were leaning over the road) - so while they did that I went for a bike ride - 39km on rolling Masterton backroads - was gorgeous as the Tararua ranges where snow covered - though was freezing, by the time I got back to their house my feet were like blocks of ice. Yummy hot shower and delicious lunch got the blood circulating again in no time.

You would think after a day of Diesel playing with my Mum-in-law's dog he'd be tuckered out - he still has enough energy to have a round or two with Bella!

And to finish of today's post... my darling, gorgeous girls, photo taken a few weeks ago when DD2 (on the left) turned 13. DD1 (on the right) turns 16 next Sunday... my how time seems to fly by.

Hope you've had a lovely weekend.
