It has been a while

Yes it has been a while - you see the thing of it is I got my self up the duff last year and as I previously mentioned my previous pregnancies are hard work with loads of complications. So being pregnant is a huge commitment weekly to twice weekly hospital visits - However hard work, love and support brought us this divine little creature SARAH RUTH TURNER.

The birth was amazing - everything just amazing really -who would think we could go back to the nappy thang at our age - but between you and me WE LOVE IT and who wouldn't take a look at these chops



So the other thing I have been up to is loads of quilting so here are the quilts on our beds at the moment.

Play Dates

My dear mother worked - and thus was not around to provide or ferry us to play dates. This was not by choice and I always vowed that I would be around to allow my kids to have and host play dates.

I am so fortunate to have two day a week job - I have the ability to function in the so called real world, I work for two great women. Refreshed, I spend the rest of the week with my loves.

Thursday is play date day.

Cameron has developed a really lovely group of friends - in particular there is this awesome foursome - we all live close by and this foursome comprises of two boys and two girls - nice an balanced.

To make the latest play date more exciting, I made capes inspired from the ever wonderful stitched in time. I made the capes out of calico then appliquéd their initial to each one. When I collected the awesome foursome - I had them spread out over the floor ready for the kiddo's to decorate with fabric pens.

The capes were worn the entire afternoon and through many games of simon said. Great gender neutral activity!
