Teddy Love

Isn't he lovely!!!

This was bought for James when I was pregnant with him...so 17 years ago!! I re-discovered the poster at Christmas whilst searching for wrapping paper. I had it framed this week. James also got a Merrythought teddy which is now Tiger's.

I had a Merrythought teddy as a baby, he is still with me. I packed him carefully away, wearing the pants and jumper my Nana knitted for him. He needed clothes to cover the patch he got after I wore away his fur from loving him so much!!

Merrythought has since shut its doors, such a shame, the teddies were just delightful.

How gorgeous is his ribbon??

I have been looking for the best place to put him...

Somewhere he will get some love every day, he needs it after 17 years rolled up in a drawer!

Early this morning we had a hot air balloon pass right over the house, it was really low because of the cloud. We could hear the people talking and the roar of the flame was quite loud. watching it slowly float off into the cloud was really beautiful and a bit romantic, in a soft focus film kind of way!!! The boys thought it was great.

Still raining here -hope everyone else is getting some!

' And the winner is.....

So my 3.5 year old who never watches T.V. has discovered that you can see lots of these ......

He has found televised American Dog shows. Seriously he is making lots of "informed" comments, and enjoying himself immensly (except for the break to put itch spray on his mossie bite.)

At least the other one still embraces the Steiner philosophy......

He actually chooses to wear his red felt pixie hat.

It is starting to look a little like Jed is going to take his first steps soon. Lots of cruising now and also taking steps while holding Mama's hands.

Too cute!

I finally got around to framing a cross stitch that I finished at least 2 years ago, not the best photo it is really overcast and showery here. I love these Shepherd's Bush designs. Jed's quilt is another one of theirs.

I think I need to go feed the hordes, everyone is starting to get ratty now.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, we are off to the markets in the morning (if the rain/showers hold off)

Birthday

It was my birthday yesterday, I was very spoilt......

I was given one of these, so cool, I am really looking forward to taking lots of photos, and I can import my own photos to my laptop. So now I don't have to wait for DP to import the photos to the desktop before I can access them yay!!


Here are a couple of quick shots taken with my new camera......



This is a photo of the finally finished cross- stitched quilt that I made for Jed. I am just in the process of putting the final touches to it... some pretty patchwork buttons. I will take another photo when I have attached them all. I think the backing material compliments it really well.

A lovely pic of my gorgeous girl, growing up so fast.
I was also given a beautiful crocheted tote bag from my MIL and some stunning silver jewellery from my sis. Plus we got heaps of dumping rain here so good to see lots of the wet stuff but we are starting to grow webbed feet, great weather for ducks (hey Lisa ;-)
Hope you are all having a great weekend.
