BLESSED SPEEDY

Here I am - the proud Nanna

Its a girl!!! Mia Pamela Cynthia Dewhurst was born at 1.18 pm today Weighing 6lbs 12 oz, heaps of hair and pretty damm gorgeous So Im a Nanna - and it feels great Aimee (and Joshua) were fantastic and it was such an awesome experience being there for the whole event So here's the first of many photos of the gorgeous one!!! Mia is only 2 minutes old here

My third daughter Megan aged 12 has started to learn to play the flute And she's quite good too!!! Doesn't she look professional!!!!! Has been teaching herself at home more advanced stuff than the teacher has shown her and can even play good old "Hot Cross Buns" and "Mary Had a Little Lamb" Why is it when an instrument is learned these are ALWAYS some of the first tunes that we learn?

I dared to cut into some Holy Fabric yesterday. About 2 years ago I made Aimee an Egyptian quilt - most of the fabric used I swapped with others on internet quilting list as I wasnt able to source much Egyptian type fabric at the time - mind you its easy to get now!!! Anyways I digress..... There was a sizable amount of fabric left over -and SOOOO lovely - all golds and bronzes and very Nice Indeed So... Yesterday I bravely decided to make Aimee's impending child (any day now!!!) a cot quilt to match hers - and I still had some fabric left so I made a bassinette cover as well!!! AND theres still some left!!! Photos dont do the quilts justice - they are gorgeous and gold and the gorgeous pregnant girly in the photo is Aimee tonight (38 weeks) doctor is a bit worried cos the baby is a size of a 33 week baby so might be induced today - waiting to see about that!!!

Yesterday was my husbands 50th birthday He hates birthday celebrations and doesn't like suprises either - so what's a girl to do but hold a surprise party for him!!! HE thought we were having a small family tea at the local hotel - actually there was 36 of us - and yes he did enjoy himself - once he got over the shock!!! This photo is of Brian (Gary's brother), Diane (Gary's sister) and the birthday boy himself

What a weekend. Helped DD1 Aimee move into her new home - just 10 minutes from here in Leitchville. Very small place - only two bedrooms but great spot, lovely polished floorboards, new kitchen and just what a young couple with a baby due in 4 weeks needs. On the cow front - we had to shoot one of our milkers as she broke her hip when another cow jumped on her - "bulling" - it wasnt one of my favorites but still sad none the less and $1000 down the drain On the quilting front - managed to finish chenille quilt for the New Grandchild and found heaps of bits of fabric for baby in my "stash" so whipped up 6 sheets for Aimee and the bub. And also managed to complete another couple of rounds on the hugs n kisses BOM - check the photos out of both Phew!!!!

Well Labour day weekend has been and gone and I didnt seem to get much done at all. Mind you I worked heaps of extra days last week and also on saturday morning so I think Im excused!!!! Three days at the Tattslotto (due to the boss having a little op) and Saturday morning at the local fabric shop (that is fun - and I get paid....lol) BUt.... I have managed (as we speak/type) to get the farm paper work up to date - if anyone loves BAS stuff they are mad!!! Ive even done some of those things in the bottom of the drawer that you are intending to get to One Day. Oh!!! And finished chenille squares quilt for the impending grandchild - hope its a girl cos its fairly "girly" And had a good giggle with Aimee (DD1) yesterday - she came over to spend the day and we watched The Devil Wears Prada - good fun!!!!
