Had to Share

Had to share this little photo.. dad was in the shower and mum away..... what else is there a girl to do but read a novel or two while sucking on her dummy.... Josh said when he got out the grown ups  book shelf was all over the place and Ev was reading aloud in her own little way, having a lovely time.  The book was even the right way up... 

A fast progression from the last photo I posted of her reading ....LOL

Sewing and Photos

I have been madly stitching to catch up on some hand sewing I am doing for a stitch along with  my blog group.  I am still behind but getting there. These are some blocks from   Nature's Journey by Anni Downs  of  " Hatched and Patched".  Anni is one my favourite designers.  I love her work. 

Some photos of our favourite girls....I wonder what is on her mind...Such a little girl and such a big ocean.

 





How nice to be so young and free of fear of things like... going topless at the beach, flipping fish fins and  claws on live crabs. Lots of trust in Mummy and Daddy I think.

Finally I leave you with a picture by an amazing photographer..Dan Mcintosh.  He takes amazing photographs of the outback.. you can check him out him on Facebook. 

Visiting

                 A little reading (we had such fun) , a little stitching... 

                     A little dressing up in clothes Grandma bought...

                           A little swimming ..

  A little playing ladies at a beautiful high tea with the ladies in Em's family. Em  with her grandma at the bottom near me and her mum.

A little garden reno!  

Really to to do some more stitching and  sewing to blog....

Finished Just in Time

I have finally finished my project from "Girls day in The Country "2014.  I think I have done something wrong. The pocket is too big but that's OK more room for more sewing things. 

It is called Hexagon Sewing Bag by Lynette Anderson.
