Better Late Than Never!

This is the first quilt I ever made.  
"Intriguing Illusions, an overnight mystery quilt" 
made back in 1993.
Well, I have finally sewn it's label on!
I have a little bag full of made labels and 
I'm going to try to get the others sewn on too. 
They are mainly for little wall hangings
and were all made back in 1999.
 You can't rush these things!
I don't think I have ever shared my colour wash quilt. 
I named it "Window of Colour".
I made this one back in 1997.
  
It has it's label on now too.
So better late than never!
 I am so bad! LOL!

Playing On The Phone!

  
Nelson was playing on his phone 
and sent this photo. This was from 
when we went to Phillip Island.
Then the fun started!
 
 Mitchell
 
Austin
 
Nelson 
 
 Noel and Kade
 
Chloe 
Nanzie/Granzie (Mum)
Me
Then somehow, I have no idea how, 
I managed to do this one.
We all had a good laugh with these.

Knickers!

Miss Rosie finally has a pair of knickers!
 
 No more flashing for her!

 She is quite happy to show them off!

Catching Up!

  
It's now March and I haven't posted any finishes 
but I have been working on a few things.
I actually finished Kade's Hound Dog back in 
January but waited until I gave it to him. 
This is a little Tilda heart in memory of Catherine, 
one of the lovely members of the Tilda Lovers Club 
and Kitty Rose Cottage Community Facebook 
groups who recently passed away.  
Dawn (Kitty Rose Cottage) organised for 
members to make hearts and they were given
out to some family and friends to be 
placed on her coffin as a gesture of 
love and remembrance from her on-line friends. 
At our recent Chit Chat Crafters stitching day, 
we all worked on a little project. 
A diamond dots purse. It was quite relaxing.
I've also been working on a baby quilt for a
special little girl due in a couple of months.
My long neglected hexagon 
quilt has finally seen the light of day
and a little progress has been made on it.

This is my first large applique quilt. 
It's now with my lovely quilter Leanne 
who is going to work her magic on it.
Finally, some felt ornaments. 
I'm not putting them together as per the pattern 
but have something else in mind.

So, although I've only had 3 little finishes, 
I have been working on other projects.
 Hopefully, I can show you the finished items soon.

Kade's 1st Birthday!

Yesterday our beautiful boy Kade turned one!
The past year has been wonderful watching 
him grow and develop his personality.
Last week we had Kade's First Rodeo.
There were hobby horses instead of 
lolly bags for the kids.
A time capsule where everyone wrote special 
messages to be opened by Kade when he turns 18.
The many faces of Kade!
Paris made this cute Hairy Coo 
(Highland cow) cake just for Kade. 
 
He really enjoyed himself and 
I think this was his first sugar hit!
 
 With Mum and Dad.
 
And Poppy and Grannie. 
Kade just loved the soft play area. 
He didn't want to leave it.  
 
 How cute is Kade's hat!
Of course I had to make Kade a Hound Dog!
I think he likes it!
It was a much quieter celebration 
yesterday with the immediate family.

Four Generations!

 
Kade makes four generations!

 
 Great Grandmother Betty, Daddy Austin, 
Kade and Granny. 
My Mum is known as Granzie 
as the boys call her Nanzie!

Kade with his parents (Austin and Paris), 
grandparents (Noel and Christine, Karen and Rob) 
and great grandmothers (Betty and Joan).

 
The last four generation photo taken was 
back in 1963 when I was 6 weeks old with my
mother, grandmother and great grandmother.
