Oopps...

Sorry... My bad... Wrong video :/ This is it I'm sure!!

Walking Girl

WOW! What do you think I thought when I turned to find our little Bella Boo walking!! Granted she was using her high chair - But enough of the specifics!! SHE WAS WALKING ALL ON HER OWN!!!! YAY for the Bella Boo!! I was at the table busy cutting and turned to see her walking past and giving me the biggest and proudest grin I have ever seen!! She did it all by herself! Stood and then off she went! I quietly and as quickly as possible got the camera out to film it! After a few seconds she realized that she had my attention and thought that she would stop walking and crawl over to me instead... What a big girl! She will be walking in no time!! And then she will be into even more things! *UGH* You win some you loose some ^_^...

Almost there...

This is my quilt! Well ok... so it isn't finished yet - but I'm getting there !! This is my first quilt! It will be finished soon - I hope before we shift - and be ready in time to be hung in our new home!

I have to redo the center rose block because I scorched the calico on the outer part of the block - Sigh - it took me ages to do it and will probably take me just as long to do it again! But what can you do when you seek perfection!

I have been having a dreadful time trying to get my machine to a satin stitch and have taken it in for a service just to make sure there isn't anything wrong with it... But alas no - it is the operator not the machine that can not get it together to do what is wanted!! So I have had to change the design of the quilt to suit my needs. Meaning it will look nothing like the original pattern but here's hoping that it will still look ok.

When I am finished I will surely let you know! Until then I will keep persevering till I have achieved satisfaction.

Just Like Daddy...

Kaleb and daddy sat together today looking at his gun. When Kaleb gets old enough - Like 16, he will be able to go shooting with Joe. All Kaleb can think about is his gun! He has bugged us something shocking to see it all day. But this is a two way street! It is a fantastic bargaining chip and all we have to do is mention it and he stops or starts...

Joe is drilling into him gun safety, like no pointing the gun at ANYONE whether it is loaded or not... And if he doesn't listen then Joe instantly takes the gun and puts it back in the safe! I dont even know where the key to the safe is! That is how protective Joe is about guns and safety!! Which is fare enough, we have too many little ones to be leaving guns around and being careless with them!!

It will be good for Kaleb and Joe to spend time together bonding. And if Joe teaches him what to do and not to do then there is less of a chance of an accident and silly play coming from Kaleb.

My Big Crawling Girl!

Look out world! Here she comes! Ready or not!

This is Ella this afternoon. She has known how to crawl for a few weeks but has only just discovered that if she crawls it will get her some where! Yesterday was the first time she even ventured off the carpet mat in the lounge... Now, today, she is turbo baby! Nothing seems to be able to stop her!! She goes into every room and gets into EVERYTHING!! And here I was hopping she might be the calm tame one since she was a docile baby- WRONG! With a brother and sister like hers how can she not be a little cyclone too! *SIGH* Cyclone or not - they all have character and big hearts!! I love them all dearly and wouldn't change them for anything!

BABY # 4

What do you think of this pic??

Kaleb took it! I KNOW!!! How fantastic is it?? He did a really great job in my opinion! I am not actually as big as the picture portrays but that is ok :) you all get the idea! I'm now 22 weeks I think??? I keep loosing track... SHAME!!! He took it this morning when he got hold of the camera - cheeky thing! But its all good! I've been trying to get a pic of my tum for ages... yet have been putting it off coz I can never get one I like! Well! I like this one!!

Proud as Punch!

BE PROUD EVERY ONE! I AM!!!

This is just something I threw together last night! What do you think?? It's really the only thing that has worked out for me in this sewing and nesting binge! Everything else turns out wrong and makes me feel worse :( But that is what you get when you rush a project and THIS is what happens when you take your time cutting and measuring and doing it properly! BOUT DAMN TIME SAYS I!!! The other side of it is purple - This side is meant to be pink - but I took the photo at 8:30pm so it is kinda darker than it is suppose to be :) But that is all good! You get the idea!!

Anyways I'm off to make some burpies if I can manage it!! I hope to be just as proud and have some pics to flash around too!! Toodles
