Sunday Snippets

via Tinniegirl!

What did Sunday bring for me? I nice lie in with the little lads, watching silly movies in bed, eggs, bacon, avo and chorizo for breaky, plus a great big cappuccino, then...

 ...did a bit more quilting on the cot quilt I started a few months back,...

...then realized I needed to make these 8 placemats in a hurry...,

 ...had trouble choosing the binding

...was required to view the lads playing Xbox, so did a bit of hand-quilting...

...made these for Meg in the Beehive bee.

I then went to Target to get the NZ Christmas pressies. I also got a few items of the undie variety, and a most (un)attractive "foundation" undergarment. As I was called forth from the queue, I realized, to my horror, that the young man on the till was my friend Lisa's teenage son. I hope that he will remember me for the lovely cake he ate last week that I baked, not my granny undies!!

Is it any wonder that I had to buy these at the supermarket to placate myself?

A bit of Tangy Bliss is all you need sometimes!

Day 6 blogtoberfest

My littlest man is having his first sleepover.



I miss him.



I know these things need to be done, and he's at one of my great friend's houses with her little boy, whom he adores, and he's had an absolute blast, but it's doesn't feel right not to have him here.



On the upside, big bro has had the best time. He got to sit in the front seat with me on the way to Aikido ( bad mummy), had some of my coke ( as in cola, not powdery stuff which I would be far too scared to touch), had fish and chips in the park with me and Dad, watched Transformers (an M. - bad Daddy) till 9.30 and had Tim tams. Very happy boy!


Still miss my little one though. Can't wait to see him tomorrow.


Better get used to it though, I suppose. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

Day 3 Blogtoberfest - Kid's Choice

Daylight Saving is here!! Love those long summer nights spent outside (unless it's too stinking hot and you're forced inside with the air conditioner on full blast and the curtains drawn, Aussie style.)

It's the beginning of the second week of the school hols. The sun is shining but they were promised an outing to The Smurfs, so that is what we are doing today. Donning our attractive 3D specs and heading down to the Rivoli at midday. Maybe an afternoon in the park.

The Mustang is back from the garage, having had its innards replaced. I asked the man to make it quieter, but I fear that my wish has not come true.

Fruits of my labours yesterday. There is a floor in here! Let the sewing begin..

 Still not perfect, but much better.

Every night in my dreams.... Day 2: Blogtoberfest

OK, OK, I know it's technically cheating but 2 posts in one day is making top for not starting yesterday!

We have a Titanic obsession going down in Chez Williams at present. We watched the movie yesterday (heavily edited by me with the remote, fast forwarding all horrible or slightly sexy bits). 

Here is what was made while mummy slumbered in bed ('til 9.30 - result!)

 The Band Aid packet is the iceberg, in case that needed explanation! I tried to encourage a slightly longer ship, but was told that the propellers were already attached therefore, impossible. They are now making a poster to adorn their walls.

And Mr Sun is trying to shine today! Happy Day!
