family time

had a fab time with my bro and sis in law last weekend in Market Harborough-also visted the fabulous Cambridge and Cadbury's world on the way home

mt bro has been down since wednesdays- so have seen him for almost a week

had a lovely family bbq last night-and off out for a family meal tonight-and then my nana is having the boys over night-and we are going on somewhere else

homemade wonderful stuff

been busy this week with all things homemade

home made shepherd's pie-lunch today

homemade jewellery-supplying myself with bountiful amounts of unique pieces

homemade quilts-busy working on my patchwork quilt

and homemade works of art-busy taking copious amounts of photos on my fab canon eos film camera

had a rough few days

our litter of kittens died on reuben's bday- -which was horrible and the mum was very disturbed for a few days after-she seems to be doing ok now

rosie-our cat has gone to the vets today-for a general check up and also to see how soon she can be spayed-dont want to see her go through another pregnancy-it really took it out of her

also been busy reading- first bob's marley wifes life story-then a very moving book called the rabbi's daughter-and im now reading a book about a yogi master

been busy making jewellery made a really pretty set of a necklace - 2 bracelets and earrings in pale pink/green and blue

also been making more progress with my patchwork quilts

reuben had a diagnosis

reuben has got some sort of co-ordination problem and motor planning issues

he is now being referred to an occupational therapist-and least we are now getting somewhere

busy crafting

i have been busy crafting recently

my patchwork quilt for our bed is almost to the size needed-and then the wadding and backing added

the one for the boys is coming along nicely too

also been making quitte lot of jewellery

not been doing so much crochet of late-mainly because what i have been making hasnt really got a set person it is going to
