Today I made ...

A Movie ... And so did my girls!



Some of their birthday presents were the stars!

This week we made ... Happy Memories!

Cat and some pink squirrels in the woods!



Matty riding Spirit, on 'the beach', all the girls amazed at the amazing zip wire over the lake!



Aerial Adventure? We can do that!



SQUIRREL! I feel like one of the dogs in the film 'UP', and we also saw 2 deer!


Did you do anything nice this week?

We love our big sister!

A Round Up .....

A lovely piece of hemming and creative sewing by Daisy, and sent with my sister's handmade Birthday cards ...



We pulled up one of our potatoes-for-schools plants and washed the new potatoes ...



The Fuzzy girls climbed in the Bin when my friend James and his family came to visit! i should have been brave enough to take a pic of James playing my mandolin ... this is only a garden bin though, full of stones dug our from out borders by Steve ...



Daisy pleased with her new 6-inch embroidery hoop and some felt shapes ...



And our porch, all finished now, re pleat with petite wicker chair, is a lovely place to sit, and to play...

day trip .... part two - the trampoline!

Take your shoes off and come on in, the jumping's lovely ...



now, to actually jump, we have to stand up ...



come on guys, stand up!

day trip .... part one - the chickenpants!

we have bananas, sandwiches and CHICKENPANTS!



Bunny Chickenpants gets to swing ...



and so does baby chickenpants, hiding in Mary's pocket, in case swinging might be very scary!



and Bunny chickenpants reaches new heights!



it was ok thought - Matty didn't drop her ...

fab, fun, four!

who is who?

sewing session ...

and i dont mean me, either ...
here is three year old matty, busy sewing up felt shapes, and the odd bit of ribbon ...



and daisy, making a rat with a pink tail and a long leg ...



the white rat held out for me to take a picture of it ...



and a felt rabit made by mya, using a pattern from my vintage sewing book, and with a little help from nisa and her mummy ...

no, its not a school room ....

it's my partly re-vamped dining room ...

and my 3 of my four girls love it ...

four in one place!

Mary likes to do scrunchy faces and funny breathing at the moment.
did you watch little dorrit? Steve is calling Mary Panks, much to daisy' and Matty's disgust!
