BLESSED SPEEDY

Ive just been checking over my blog and noticed I havent finished anything quilt related since March- I actually dont think Ive even SEWN anything quilt related since then!  What have I been doing you ask??? Knitting! Ive rediscovered my love of knitting - thanks mainly to http://www.ravelry.com/   Firstly is the Irish Hiking Shawl which I made for Megan and on then the  Summer Flies Shawl - not sure who will score this one at this stage, maybe myself!

Well we had a fabulous time with Saeka staying with us, but all too soon the week was up and she was on her way home.  Ive been too busy since then to load this, but am doing it now. I gave her a small quilt to take home with her to remember us by - Im sure she loved it!

Last night Saeka made us dinner - it was sushi and it was delicious!  Saeka tells me that she has never made it before but we think she did a fabulous job.

What a lovely way to spend a sunny winters Sunday - fishing.  Unfortunately no fish were caught but Saeka did get a bite - but the fish got away!

Saeka loves our cat Speedy, and Speedy loves her. Especially as she is getting lots of pats, cuddles and being brushed!

Saeka had and I quote "the most fantastic experience of her life" helping Gary milk tonight.  She enjoyed herself so much and quickly the hang of how to milk! Also a thankyou to Saeka and her family for the lovely gifts she gave us last night - here is what she gave Gary and I, Megan has her gifts in her room.

Saeka is really enjoying being here!  Here she is ready to go to school and with Megan before they head off on the school bus.

We are blessed to have a student from Japan come and live with us for a week.  Her name is Saeka and she arrived yesterday.  She quickly fitted into our family and soon was outside meeting all our animals- with Megan's help.
