Olivers quilt

Kasey ,Anabel and Oliver came for a visit on the weekend and caught up with Car Kaylee and Jen and what can i say Car you have EXCELLED yourself with this one . The quilt that you made for Oliver is stunning absolutely beautiful. Puts my poor efforts to shame. Sorry I didn't get to catch you and stupid me forgot to send Kaylees pressy with kase hopefully she will get it before her next birthday. Oliver is a smiley little man these days and growing so fast 8 weeks already...I know that he will love this quilt for years to come and the little photo tag is perfect and I'm making the bumpers for his cot so I think black gingham may be the way to go let me know what you think it will be stunning in the cot(Grandmas old silky oak which I am stripping back and redoing) when I get it finished. As promised have taken some pics of Olly on his quilt hope you like them..

Time Flies

Gosh where did the holidays go .........Had a great first week Anabel came to stay for the week and we did manage to get a lot done . We decided to pretty much destroy the front gardens and start again Jem is a trooper he spent hours chopping out stumps so we could get the garden replanted so I now have Camillias and gardenias instead of the chinese elms that were there and it has opened up the front yard really nicely. So far so good I haven't killed anything.Also have planted out a whole heap of hanging baskets for the front patio and the back stairs. They look great I got the baskets reduced to $4 at mitre 10 wished I had got more .Hopefully if I remember I will get some pics tomorrow.
Last weekend was busy we had everyone home Kase and Jeremy and the kids.Luke and his gf Laurenna and Nat so it was definately a houseful Nat ,Jem and Tom helped finish off the clearing of the garden while Jeremy and Jem got a vegie garden going for Jem . Jem also got a worm farm for his birthday which he loves he is a keen gardener. Luke got roof duty on account of the fact that Noel and I both hate heights.......
Also finally got to start my kitchen dresser so with any luck I will get it finished in the next week or 2. Got some fantastic shelves for Jeremys room so am pleased to say he has no more boxes to unpack in his room .and also got some cube shelves for the kids toys books etc that they keep here for when they come it didn't fit where I had originally wanted to put it but we have a recess in our hall and it fits there perfectly and its not in the way so organisation is finally falling into place.
Went to the movies with the boys to see Year 1 with Jack Black I enjoyed it but can't wait to see Harry Potter next weekend.
Had Vikki come to stay last night we cracked a bottle of wine and chilled out for the night and had a few laughs brilliant.
Back to work on Monday I wish I could have another week off I would be able to get heaps done arhhhhh well........

Oliver is growing fast he is a beautiful little boy and is smiling and making noises back at you when you talk to him and he loves his big sister she always gets a smile from him ....they will be great partners in crime...
