A few photos of the last week - with Antoinette at Diane's - Amie and Jonathan came for dinner - lovely to all meet up after such a long time!

A few photos of Rosie!!

Here you are,Gemma - photos as requested! Wish you, Rosie and Tim were here too!! Antoinette in one of my hats - it's not going back to Vietnam!!!

Sam and Ethan had a half hour game of golf - followed by football with Sam, Ty and Ethan!!

Grnadma and Grandad made lots of cakes - Ethan was being very nice to them!!!

Bev's bump - 11 weeks to go!

Grandad's is pure cake and chocolate!!! I didn't take a photo of myself!!!!

Looking forward to seeing you all in August - the jacuzzi is waiting!!!

I've been quilt making recently - it's very addictive and although I don't consider it to be 'art' - it is nice to do a bit of 'utility' work occasionally! I bought most of this blue material in Boston about 10 years ago - knew it would be used sometime!! It is bordered with calico and though you can't see from the photos, I've quilted the names of blue flowers around the borders.

This quilt was made using japanese fabrics bought in Harrogate a couple of years ago. I must go back sometime to re-stock as I would like to try another japanese inspired quilt.

The quilt was mainly machine quilted but I have added a few hand-stitched circular motifs in sashiko thread.

I'm now working on a batik panel that I dyed a couple of years ago - but that's more of an art project - so I'll have to see where it takes me!!! In any spare time, I'm still knitting and sewing for Rosie who's growing in leaps and bounds!!

A few more photos as requested by you, Ant!! You'll soon be here to take your own photos - you will put them on so I can see- won't you?!

Here are more photos - as requested by Ant!!

Rosie looks like Ant and Gemma used to look - when she's being winded!!

Being weighed by midwife last friday 7lb 5oz already!!

To prove she can cry - but not very often - a very contented baby!!

Considering the garden was a wilderness last year, Tim has worked wonders!!

Just a few photos taken on my trip to see Gemma, Tim and Rosie last week. They're doing really well and Rosie is growing by the minute!! We had to have a glass of champagne - Gemma's first taste of alcohol in months, I expect.

The weather was lovely for a few days and we even managed a barbeque twice - thanks to Tim's abilities as a chef!

Rosie is a bit dwarfed by the play mat at the moment but she loves the colours and really stares at it when it's hanging on the chair behind her! Sam and I found this lovely oufit in France - all-in-one dress and bloomers - very cute!!

You don't really get the impression of just how tiny she is - perhaps it's more obvious here when you see her against the size of my hand.

Rosie is a very good baby - doesn't cry very much at all - in the great scheme of things - Gemma may disagree at times!! We're looking forward to them all coming over to Guernsey in August!
