growing up so fast

a few new pictures of our little bun! she is getting better at everything, lifting her head, almost rolling over, trying to sit up - and it seems that she may also be teething - YIKES! Such a cutie. Posted by Picasa

a great weekend

This past weekend was amazing. The first time since Eme was born that her dad and I have had a real "family" weekend with just us. We went for a walk and got a coffee and managed to talk, then out for breakfast and more talking, then home - and if you can imagine didi outdoor chores and really enjoyed it. The little monkey just hung out on my back for hours - she even had a nap there. It gets better, we went out to dinner with friends and she slept the whole time which meant more talking and a real dinner. She fell asleep at 6:30 and didn't stir again until 8:30 - so I fed her and she fell back to sleep and woke up the next morning at 7:00 - WOW! She didn't manage to do this again last night, but... it was nice, such a break. She is amazing and really not alot of trouble, but a break is always nice. I managed to make a wreath for the front door from some laurel prunings and a bike tire (a pic will follow once it is hung) and this morning before 8:00 i got in the baking of some banana bread. Phew! I haven't accomplished that much in ages. I am off to Knaughty Knitters tonight - I guess I better find a new project as I have finished my purple and orange tea cozy and the colourful boucle poncho for Eme, very cute. Posted by Picasa

This weekends project

Well we had a busy weekend, at least the two FIL's did - we started with the image at the top left and now have the image on the top right. Not 100% finished yet, but quite an improvement over the blankness that was staring back at us in recent months. I can't wait to fill it up with all of my "treasures". The cutie-pie at the bottom is my latest treasure. Posted by Picasa

A little bit of Heaven

just for visual effect - I love clouds! Posted by Picasa

A little Sunshine

Well the sun broke throught the clouds for most of the day here, and to take advantage I went on a thrift store crawl. Eme was somewhat cooperative and slept for most of the adventure. I managed to find several little outfits for the angel - a house warming gift of vintage glassware for a friend, some kids books and a fabulous vintage croquet set for a friends summer use in her amazingly large back garden. Quiche for supper and all is right with the day.
