Last day of 6am alarms for 16 days!!!!!! This won’t actually mean that I will get more sleep, mind you, it just means that I will stay up later! So instead of 1.30am it will be 2.30 or 3am but think of all of the work I will get done!
I have achieved a lot of nothing much this week. Mostly production line stuff for Joshua’s party on Sunday.
I have actually done alot more than that but I never had the energy to drag it all outside.
My new quilt has laid idol under my machine ...
And we received Joshua’s kinder photos ...
What a classic! This kid cracks me up!!!!! He has missed the big kids a lot, this term particularly, and has taken to needing to ‘play’ with me which actually means he does puzzles on the floor of my sewing room while I am working. He refers to all of my crafting as ‘quiltin’ so his standard line when he is watching me work is “oh wow, you is doin’ good quiltin’ Mum!”
I have recieved two awards one this week and one a couple of weeks ago ... thank you both very much and I will post about them next week. I am very flattered that you like to visit me!
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Kellie
PS. Hi Susan's Mum!!!!!!
Joshua's kindy pic is priceless!!! It is nice that they got an action shot rather than one that was posed. The party preparations look great - hope the party goes smoothly on Sunday and is loads of fun. Your new quilt looks lovely - love the linen background. Enjoy the start to your holidays - we still have a week to go!

How cute does Joshua look, such a little character. I agree with Lisa about the more natural type of photo instead of posed. I hope all goes well with his party, then you will be able to have a birthday rest!! Hows Megan? I was watching a programme yesterday about a couple who were thinking of moving to Melbourne and they were staying at a place called Daylesford - it looked lovely,

What a little cutie -- I'll bet you have some fun times with him while the others are in school. I hope you'll show us the full-blown party -- I love your party posts!

Oh what a little cutie he is. He looks so full of spirit. The party preparations look wonderful so far, perhaps you should be a party co-ordinator for kids parties since you have such wonderful ideas. I am glad that you liked the award too, you deserve it so much. Your quilt looks beautiful so far. I too am hoping to get some late nights in over the holidays and finish off a few crafty items too. I just hope that I can get a little sleep in in the mornings.
