Busy Days


I've been 'reminded' by a few friends that I need to update our blog regularly, so here's a recent photo of Sam taken with my new(ish) portrait lens. Check out those eyes. I've been asked to do the official photos for the Multiple Birth association this year, and am very nervous. Don't know if I'm up to it, and am thinking of upgrading my camera...but then, you should never blame your tools! Lysh has agreed to let me take some pregnancy photos of her next week, so I'm looking forward to that. Hope I can do her gorgeous bump justice.


Things have been frantic with lots of fundraising activities going on. We had a sausage sizzle at Bunnings yesterday for the MBA which went very well, despite the almost sub-zero temperatures. Still, there were lots of laughs and camraderie to keep us warm! Standing at the hot barbeque was definitely the place to be. Mum brought all three boys down to visit, and I think Alex and Ben each consumed their own body weights in sausages. Mmmmm....healthy. Love that tasty lard. We have another date booked for the Melton store in May, so I'll definitely getting my thermals out for that.
Biscuit is doing extremely well, Sam absolutely adores her and squeals with delight whenever he catches sight of her. Unfortunately he's a bit little to understand the 'gentle pat', and has been caught grabbing for her as she saunters past. She hasn't been deterred though, and seems to love him as much as he loves her. Awwww....


Hope everyone is keeping warm in Melbourne, and enjoying the spring thaw across the pond!

Introducing Biscuit


What do you get when you have a clucky mum, animal-loving twin boys and a 3 week old orphaned kitten?! Meet Biscuit, the newest addition to our family. Fate brought her to us (or me to her) after a chance meeting with her sister in a Ballarat patchwork store. After hearing that there were three more kittens in need of some love and 3-hourly bottle feeding, what could I do?! She is doing extremely well, the boys love her and even Tigger seems prepared to tolerate her - the highest accolade.


As for the quilting weekend, I was thoroughly spoiled by the gorgeous Sasha, who also helped me with some practical solutions for backing Sam's Peter Rabbit bed quilt. I will get there in the end.......!

First Post


Well, our new blog finally seems to be working....now if I can just figure out how to upload photos. Fingers crossed! I am off to Sasha's house for a quilting weekend shortly, so will post photos of our wonderful creations in a few days. My new sewing maching arrived last night and I am very excited - I am turning into a complete granny.


Hope everyone is well. xxx
