Our Gorgeous Great Grandson - Hunter

It was a great delight for us to become great grandparents in November. Then in December to celebrate with him and his parents as well as his other great grandparent.

The year ahead.

     Well 2013 has dawned with lots of hot weather here in Western Sydney. We had a lovely christmas with family and friends and our newest addition to the family, Hunter, all of six weeks of age.

     The year ahead has heaps in it and will prove to be a little daunting no doubt. Frances heads off for another operation in January and Coral continues to recuperate after her cancer scares. My knee continues to improve and with a little more therapy I should be on the right road to a full recovery.

      I will put up some photos that are self explanatory and hope you enjoy.

This is little elf man 2012.

Mark and Deb's Day

It was with great pleasure that we attended the marriage of our second son, Mark to the beautiful Deb at Orange on the 22nd September, 2012. The day was beautiful, the ceremony was lovely and the reception was down to earth and lovely. Thanks to all the people that attended they had a very nice day.

Lots of craft

      Have been doing heaps of craft over the last couple of months. It is so relaxing and rewarding to realise the I can do these things. I hope you enjoy all the items that I have made whether it be knitting, crocheting or quilting. These are just two I have heaps more to download today. I have just found what I was looking for so here goes.

I still have a long way to go on this project as I keep running out of yarn but I thought it would be good to see a progression.

I love making the edges on face cloths, as I have been making them since I was a child. The different edges are what I try to achieve.

This is the first quilt I have endeavoured to make in a quilting class. I am so happy with this new project and will continue to quilt. I have made other items since. This quilt still needs its edges done.
I loved doing this project and now it has a lovely red border as well. So easy to make once you have the instructions. Thank you to the lovely ladies at Hobbysew - Kings Park.

More crocheting

This blanket has been made for Wraps With Love Inc. These blankets are sent overseas and to the remote areas of Australia for people needing warmth during their cold seasons. All the wraps are donated by the knitters.

Whilst awaiting the birth of our first great grandchild I decided I would knit and crochet for the arrival. I am pleased with what I have achieved. It has been so long since I knitted something so small.

Much Ado About Nothing

Heaps has happened since I was last in here but remembering it all is a bit of a problem. I am feeling better every day and that's the best. I have been doing a whole lot of crocheting, knitting and playing computer games in order to keep my mind active. I will put up a photo of my newest achievement very soon.

I made this crocheted blanket for Andrew for Christmas 2012. I love the way it turned out.

This throw I made out of bits and pieces and sold it last year at a stall.

This panel is one of nine that I crocheted for my grand daughter Brooke for her 19th Birthday. She doesn't turn 19 till August so she hasn't received it yet. 3/04/2013
