A wall hanging for Eloise............

A present given this weekend for a 1st birthday. I think she liked it it hard to say at this age.

Love Friday...........

What has happened so far to make it a fabulous Friday-

We woke up with the sun shining no more rain.
The family had a picnic lunch on the beach.
I have nearly finished the wall hanging/doll quilt for a birthday party tomorrow. It has taken a few detours since it's beginning last weekend.

What are we going to do to finish off this Friday-

We are heading off to the social club at the dear husbands work for a cold beer. A great way to finish off the week.

Occy...........

Another overcast rainy day yesterday and a wee one on the couch sick( can you believe it one week back at school and already sick!). An octopus was made for cheering up purposes. He got himself a nice beanie for the upcoming winter and he has been hanging out with Pinky.

And the winners are.............

Proximidade is described as follows:'This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships. These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes for self-aggrandizement! Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!'This blog award should be sent to your favorite eight bloggers and they, in turn should forward to eight of their favorites. You should include the text for Proximidade (above) in your announcement blog. And so I award the following eight blog pages for their Proximidade attributes:

I was given this lovely blog award from ButtonsbyLouLou last week. I thought I best choose my blogs I would like to pass it onto now or it will go onto a list of things to do that never gets done.

And the winners are-

Lindsay Brackeen
TinnieGirl
Tweety's nest

It's not 8 but I think all the other blogs I read have all had this award. I will edit it if I think of some others.

Pinky and the rain............

It rained a whole lot this weekend. There was time to sit on the couch and stare at the box which now has channels on it not only in french. A lovely pink rabbit was created without to much fuss. I think I am going to make a few for Easter.

Love Friday...........

I'm back! There has been a bit of a lull in blogging around here not sure quite why maybe nothing to say or show, to hot, other things always seem to get in the way. Not today though things got finished this week and it is raining today and cooled everything down considerably so moods are good. I got baking this morning with all those black bananas. A favourite cake recipe and it will be eaten when everybody is home for lunch.

Juliette's cards

Later this afternoon I am going to send of the art cards to the other side of the world for the swap I signed the kids up for. They are now going to be waiting patiently for the returns. I am very happy with what they came up with. Colourful and diverse.

Django's cards

My Friday so far has started off very well so I hope you all have a good one as well. Lets hope my blogging break isn't so long next time. Pop over to TinnieGirl to see some other 'Love Friday' gals.

My creative space........

My creative space here is all about being on my own with a completed fabric bread basket. The wee ones have finally gone back to school and I have quiet and independence and can do things like finish my fabric bread basket without somebody squawking at me. I know I may sound a bit harsh on them but they have been on holidays for over two months. It's a long time people. Anyway I'm sure I will miss them being at home at some point but certainly not today.

For more lovely creative spaces and the tutorial for the basket.
