Lazy Days.....


School is back on and our 2 weeks of Lazy days are over.
Spending time with William in the garden and just slowing down has been nice.


I love the light of Autumn and how it shines in through the door and warms the now cool mornings. I do love Autumn, I start to feel the need to sew and crochet and just make....


I am going to do some more sewing for the grand babies, Charlie has his first birthday coming up and the theme for his party is Indians so I am going to make him a out fit...
Also a dress for Sieanna and some little pants for Henry to start with..


I have also been experimenting with soap...
Below is Himalayan salt soap. Great for exfoliating your skin and help with healing blemishes.
Experimenting with soap making is so much fun and you are only limited by your imagination.


I am still doing 2 markets a month and enjoying them, but that is going to change soon as I start doing a weekly market.


Last Thursday I went with my friend to help her at the weekly Farmers market here in Toowoomba.
Bronwyn sells eggs and chickens all pasture raised. Well she got talking to the lady that is running the markets about my soap, and I was invited to have a stall. Very exciting.....We will share a stall for now  and I will see how things go..


One advantage of your best friend owning a chicken farm is I have stopped doing my own chickens and just get them straight from Bronwym....Having a brother move in that is also a poultry butcher helps in the piecing of the birds as well...


I still do something though.......the cooking,
 nothing like a nice chicken pie for dinner...


Today I am looking after this little princess for a couple of hours which has been lovely.



 I hope you all enjoy your week and in Australia the long week end coming up.

Blessings

Happy Birthday Sieanna May......




This sweet little girl is one today....
Happy Birthday 
Sieanna May

This after noon we will be going in to have cake with 
the birthday girl..


The sewing room has been put to good use making Sieanna her out fits. You have seen the little top, well I also got the  romper made , just in time for her birthday.
I will post some photos later of her in it.


The spare room is all clean again, Bruce and Robbie moved the large table in here for me so I have plenty of room now.
Next on my list is getting back into scrap booking. I really want to do a album up of Greg's life for the kids.


Nice to have this room all girly again after being a boys room for so long.


Below is a rare moment when it was a clean boys room...Really no such thing is there? Clean and boys hahahah


The vege garden is coming along well with the cooler weather.
My brother who you can see in the pic has moved in here with us, and he is loving being able to 
get into the garden..


He reminds me of my Pop who was always out in his vege garden...
Love the cooler weather and being able to be out in the garden again. It got very hot this summer and I am looking forward to this cooler weather.


The asparagus is going wild and I am cutting it every day..Have you ever had it straight from the garden? Tastes just like fresh snow peas. yummo.


Enjoy your week All

Blessings

Catch up time......

Hello All.
I can't beleive it's been so long since I blogged.



We had Alanahs baby shower a couple of weeks ago. Alanah is due on the 2nd June so any day now,she might even get the baby on her birthday which is the 29th May.
I hope it's a boy as every thing sure is blue!

By the end of the year I will have 7 grand children as Jessica is expecting her third baby in September...
I am looking forward to Christmas this year, with all the babys.



Sienna is getting chubby as all babys should be, she is such a good little girl and her big brother thinks she is pretty good as well!


I have been making time to get to the op shops and have been getting some lovely things.
I love the pink juicer I picked up and it has pride of place in the kitchen.
The lamp shade is just what I needed for my $1 lamp I got at the markets the other week. I am crocheting a cover for it, it's coming along slowly.

I am going to make a cuppa and catch up with evey one...
Blessings to all

Sieanna May Sutton.....


Hello All.
Yes I'm back from a very long break...
The reason for this break is my beatuiful new Grand daughter
Sieanna May Sutton.
Sienna is 3 weeks old now.


Chloe ended up having to have a C section so hasn't been able to do much at all once she got home.


Harrison is the best big brother....
But if you look closely you will see Harry has his leg in plaster, yep two days before Sieanna is born he broke it in two places.
So with Chloe not being able to lift any thing Harry with his sore leg things have been busy..


Jessica and girls came down to visit the new baby and while they were here Abby turned 2....


I have been learning to crochet as well and made Sieanna a little hat.
Lots of practice to do yet though..


My days have been filled with grand children and cuddles...
I do miss my little Mason so much at these times, don't you wish you could make your kids live closer!!!!! Never mind I will have to save my pennies and fly up for a trip soon I think....


Had to share this kindy photo of Mason with you...
Have a great week
Mandy
