Another Birthday Boy........

Yesterday was Zachary's 15th birthday. 

My baby is not a baby anymore......!

We had a double celebration on Sunday just gone , with family.....,.

I made them a cake to share .....

You can see the 17 and the 15 lit up with candles ........

I couldn't post yesterday as our whole town was without phone lines ( so we had no internet service ) and my mobile phone wouldn't work in the house. 

Business owners wouldn't have been happy as the eftpos facilities were down too. 

But all is back to normal today. 

I've been very bad and haven't sewn at all......

Maybe on the weekend. 

Until Next Time. 

Birthday Boy........

Today is our eldest son Jacobs 17th birthday......

As today was show day , we headed off to the show. 

DH and Zachary went on two very fast , twirly and high swinging rides. 

Jacob and I just waited and watched as we are wimps. 

The boys have a friend over tonight and we had home-delivered pizza for tea. 

Jacob drew this on an app he got on his phone.....

I'll leave you with this very obvious sign..........

Duh !

Until Next Time. 

My Weekend.......

.........of sewing and cutting. 

Saturday I made another astrix blocks....

And all 12 so far.......

And Sunday I ironed and cut squares and strips .........so I have enough for 100 blocks. 

This should keep me busy for a while. 

Until Next Time. 

I.........

........did sew today. 

See........

1 more astrix block. 

So that makes 11. 

I haven't been in the sewing room since Sunday when I had my mishap.....my arm has been too sore. 

I did go to work Wednesday and Thursday and did everything bar lift heavy things. 

So not much has happened in the last few days. 

I've been reading......nothing painful in that. 

Until Next Time. 

Sunday Sewing......

After a lazy morning........which included a very late sleep-in , I headed to my sewing room. 

But only after DH had left for work. 

Then I had a little accident......I slipped on a little bit of water on the bathroom floor as I was leaving the room. 

And I went down fast......and hard. 

And on a tiled floor too. 

So I'm a bit sore.......

I did muddle along and sew 2 astrix blocks......

And all of them so far......

Kylie kept me company for a while. 

Which was good as we haven't caught up for ages. 

Until Next Time. 

Nearly There........

This morning before work I finished off the quilting and the binding of the pink quilt.......!!

Now to hand stitch the binding........

Until Next Time. 

I Am Still Here.........

I started quilting the pink baby quilt on Friday.....

And then quilted some more yesterday before work.......

And I've been quilting today too......

I haven't finished yet......there are a lot of stops and starts to do. 

But it is starting to look like a quilt. 

I've just the squares on the right to quilt and it's done. 

Well 2 weeks of the school holidays are down 2 weeks to go.......

Until Next Time. 

Territory Day........

Which means fireworks day........

I took Zachary with me for my chiropractor appointment and on the way home we bought a few ( lots ) fireworks. 

Today I basted the pink baby quilt that needs quilting.........

This one.......

And I made this too.......

And my 8 blocks so far.......

Tonight after DH got home from work we went to the fireworks display at Mindil beach for Territory Day. 

It was spectacular as usual........

The went set off our fireworks across the road at the neighbours house. 

The bangs are still going off so I'm not sure how much sleep we will get. 

Until Next Time.
