Animal Antics...

Miss Poppy has found her way to the kitchen, she certainly knows where her treats come from...


Do you think Mum will see me here?


I'm helping, honest!


OK I'll just watch from here all this hard work is starting to make me sleepy!



Our home is never a dull place, I have been flitting about like a flea in a fit this week. Today I'm helping with transport at school(for DS2 and DD2) for a science road show and Friday we have swimming and Americana Day. My two students above have been working very hard despite Georgie's help;-D I almost had to wrestle Ruth away from the computer yesterday to take her to piano lessons, she was enjoying her research for science so much! Weird I know but it did have something to do with horses Lol!  DS1 went on his very first trial bike ride on Saturday and had so much fun! DH, I always call him my biggest kid took a fall off his motorbike the other day, I'm pleased to report no broken bones, just scrapes and bruises, it's enough to scare a wife/mother silly, but I know they all have to grow up sometime(not sure about the DH) and test out their wings.

My wonderful Mum is a real giver and likes to buy me surprises!(any time Mum)Well this is what she bought for me the other week...



It's gorgeous and a perfect size for storing a project in.  And this is what I have been working on this week...


I'm up to the quilting stage I want to get this done before the end of the month so I can show 2 finished projects for OPAM. You would never guess what happened yesterday, well maybe you would. I was almost finished my Gail Pan BOM stitcheries I only had a few Colonial knots(don't like doing french knots) left to do and I ran out of thread, just as well I had to go to town;o)) So as of this morning all the stitcheries are complete!  I may get this quilt finished in time for Christmas!



Well better go get myself more organised for the day, it might actually help if I get dressed! Put on some teacher clothes! Hope you all have a great day!

Pleased to hear that there is no broken bones and school is fun. Wow a cat for a teacher love it, although Harry would be great at teaching you how to sleep and that is all. I carn't wait to see the finished quilt and the stitchers. What a nice thing to get from yur Mum, take care and have a great day.
