I had a good run over the weekend and actually managed to finish three of my blocks. So I’m now down to the final 10! Here’s the latest block done.
The starburst was Gorgeous Man’s idea, and I really like it, so there’ll be a few more like this.
Not much else going on. Work is keeping me frantically busy, some parts of it are really interesting, and other parts not so much, but I’m learning a lot.
My ‘helper’ wasn’t able to come today and so Gorgeous Girl had to amuse herself quietly while I worked on the computer. Here’s part of what she got up to:
Into Mummy and Daddy’s recipes. I need some more bookshelves.
Finding the leftover fabric from the doorsnakes.
Finally, playing with her toys.
Stay tuned for exciting pictures of Gorgeous Girl taking her first drink from a cup!
There has also been reading.

I’m slowly getting around the blogs. Speaking of blogs, my friend Kerin is a great scrapbooker and she enters a competition each month for her local scrapbooking store. She’s won at least once. Go and check out what she did with a picture of my mum and Gorgeous Girl for this month’s competition. It’s great. Even better, she’s going to post it to my Mum as a surprise. I love my friends.
Well, Gorgeous Man is at a meeting until who knows when. I’m off to update Gorgeous Girl’s blog for the grandparents and then surf the blogs for a while before settling down with a dvd and my hand quilting. I hope your evening is wonderful
Excellent! You’re almost there!! And thanks to you I finished mine. You really were the kick up the … that I needed so if I can be the same for you, just shout. Love the starburst!
GG is gorgeous indeed!!!!!
Awesome square! Only 10 to go! Woohoo!!
Love the latest GG pics!
Ooh GG is sitting up and smiling at the camera!!! She’s so adorable !!!
Pulling books off the shelves was (and still is) my daughter’s favourite activity, though now she wants the books she can’t reach. We also had a box full of toys – she loved taking them all out, could spend good 20-30 minutes doing it.
I cannot get over how much bubs has grown… she looks such a big girl… I remember the day you had her… take care
It really is remarkably challenging to work with a child underfoot, isn’t it? (Or am I the only one who thinks so?)
The quilting looks great!!
Great work on the quilt. Umm your mum doesn’t read this blog does she????
Kerin

GG is such a smarty to have a blog! The quilt is really coming along I am so excited that there are only 10 left!
