A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.

BJ - impatiently watching his tea cooking...  (but we all know that "a watched pot never boils".  

DJ - thoroughly revelling in cooking his own food!  

Happy Birthday

My sister had a birthday party.  It was in Melbourne.  We were at home.  So what do you do?  Have your own little party at home.

Skype!

Yay for Skype.

We had the computer set up looking at this scene from our home party, & together we were connected to the festivities in Melbourne where they were dining the same way as we did. Really lovely to join in, be a part of the fun & surprise everyone there with our participation!

DJ enjoyed making the signs.  They will enjoy the balloons for days too I expect.

Happy Birthday Judy!

Stockings

Well it is actually only one stocking but it has a front & back...  or I like to call it 2 fronts.  :-)

This is the newest range of ornaments from Mill Hill.  There are 6 in the set as usual.  I got excited when I saw them & showed a friend who I have also stitches & has got back into it.  She has caught my Mill Hill bug & being a Christmas freak she stitches almost all Christmas things.  So we went halves in the set of these.  So eventually I will have the others done.

Old Socks!

I started these socks ages ago!  I don't even know how long ago.  

But they are done & they aren't plain, they have a pattern that slowed me down a bit.  Will go to my regular ones next!

A portrait of my boys once a week for a year.

BJ - Painting his planet mobile.  Concentrating as usual.
DJ - Chalk drawing & coming up with some crazy ideas!

Round H

Bit excited to have this round on now.  It's rather large.  Still 2 rounds to go.
