In the time that has past between recent infrequent posts all 4 of the little people have managed to click over yet another year. So the home of Don't Look Now has been a buzz with the usual birthday frivolities!
The rather georgous, all be it unimpressed, Miss Megan turned 11!
Megan sadly has grown out of my big birthday party productions ...
... but she still managed to drag her celebration out over an entire weekend spending her birthday with her friends at an indoor Go Cart centre ...
Mini Sumo wrestling, bowling & ...
Laser Force!
...following it up with movies, a sleep over & roller scating!
The twins turned 8 in July!!!! Where has the time gone???? It's literally a blur!
After having a ball with Megan and her friends Ben was keen to share his birthday with his friends on the Go Cart Track together with a little Lazer Force of course!
all of this was just a little too much for our Jessica! Why don't my girls smile for the camera anymore???
Jessica chose a Sewing theme for her party It turned out to be a rather terrific & intimate affair with her two absolute Best Friends in the Whole Wide World!!!!
They made themselves some pyjama pants ...
... a rather cute wall hanging and a felt broach.
They had a wonderful time. Jessica is lucky to have such lovely friends!
Joshua turned 6 the Tuesday before last and had a rather disgustingly fun Science Party ...
... but you are going to have to come back for the photos because I have some more sewing to do tonight before I go to bed.
But before I go ... you will find this little pencil roll Colour My World featured in this months Homespun Magazine ...
There are a ton of other terrific projects in this months edition so it's well worth taking a peek.
Thank you all for being so patient with me and my spasmodic posts! It is lovely to see so many of you all still stopping by. Thank you also to all of you who have emailed me checking to make sure we were all OK. Thank you guys it really means a lot to me! I am still avoiding Flickr for the time being though because there is only 19 days left until we head off to the Houston so things are a little manic to say the least!!!!
Enjoy your week!

My gosh, your kids have grown up a lot these last few month. What a lovely bunch you have! Congratulations.

The picture of the two children walking along with their arms around each other is one of the most precious I have ever seen. Sometimes, all it takes is a lovely photo to set the mood for the whole day - thanks for starting mine with such a delicious example of love!!!

Thank you for sharing all the birthdays. I loved it. We just celebrated my son's 18th b'day. He's an only child and it was fun because we went to his fave pizza place, a scary movie and he actually had his 2 friends sleep over for a nite of video games and soda/snacks. Time does fly.

NINETEEN days???? Holy Cow, there's work to do!
Your little angels all look adorable -- although, didn't anyone tell you it might have been a little easier if you'd spaced their birthdays out a little bit??? ;-)

That's alot of celebrating and preparing in one hit!! Glad that they all had great birthdays and that they have such great times to remember! The pencil roll is cute. I'm assuming my copy is sitting in my mailbox about 8klms away at the entrance to the farm. I just couldn't be bothered packing up three kids into the car (including the baby!) to go driving!! Can't wait to see it though!

I can't get over how grown up they all look , you are going to have problems with boys hanging around when those girls get older I can tell you, proper little stunners . You also realise you are going to get asked about the tree pictures don't you, well by me at least anyway ?? If we don't speak before good luck in houston and give yourself and Anna big hugs from me seeing as how I can't be there to do it myself x

Happy Birthday to all your gorgeous kids! I think the sewing party sounds so much fun and their wall hangings are just beautiful. I will have to definately grab that Homespun mag, your the second blogger who has a project in it that I like! Cant wait to see Joshua's birthday photos too.

You're making some amazing memories for your kids. They've grown up a lot in the last year and have changed. Have fun in Houston even though you'll be working hard.

Gorgeous photos. Do you have a pattern for the tree wall hanging? It is beautiful and I know a little girl that would love one of those for her bedroom!

Just dropped by to let you know that I took a photo of the Worry Doll and Little Monster quilts at the Craft Expo in Melbourne yesterday. I have linked back to your blog and online store and also to In Stitches. Let me know if there's a problem and I'll fix it right up for you :-)

Happy Birthday to ALL your little cheribs... I just picked up my Homespun magazine and recognised this beautiful project. Look forward to more posts when you can....

oh kellie they really have grown up so much, in their faces they all look so much older! love all the parties and especially the sewing party - how cool to go home with things you've made instead of a lolly bag. I love it
and I picked up homespun when I saw your name on the cover for my hospital bag, still wrapped in plastic so I have something to read!
I think you're excused from regular blog posts with your schedule!

Is there a way to get your pencil roll pattern and the car quilt pattern? I went to buy the Homespun magazine and they had all been recalled? Please tell me these patterns will be available. My son loves the car quilt and the pencil roll! (I'm in the US).

I had to refresh the page 2 times to view this page for some reason, however, the information here was worth the wait.

A birthday party is a special event that is cherished in many ways. A great time for kids can be created with competitions, cakes and party favors. iCarly party favors are a wonderful way to say thanks to guests coming to a party. kids birthday party favors are a thoughtful way to express appreciation and affection to guests.
