the apron ...

Take two mummy's, 3 happy children, an endlessly boiling kettle, the most yummy muffins and Tourta for lunch and no, you don't get an apron ... You do have a great day though.

boys playing, not with each other for much of the day but had fun nonetheless

lisa's first tentative moves towards her fab new machine

dah nah! lisa's very first machine made needlebook! look at that happy smile!!

This was the sum total of our sewing achievements for the day. I am thrilled that Lis was able to make something that will be useful, and a little reminder of her first steps into the wonderful world of sewing and creating. It's such a great world to be a part of and I'm delighted to have been able to give Lis a little helping hand. She was a great student and also great at a straight line - which is quite a skill actually!

We made it home late, after feeding Flossy's puppies, one of whom should have joints that will last forever, having downed a bottle of glucosamine! She's a bad puppy that Spicy-girl. Lucky she's so adorable.

After a day of Tiggy constantly trying to escape Woosie's interference and a day of Woosie desperate to be a part of Tiggy's world. They made up by snuggling up to a recorded episode of Lunar Jim.

What a lovely day we had Lis. Thank you so much.

Yesterday Momo came for the day and we decided to go to Fabulous Fine Food for lunch. It's so delicious there. Woo loved her first proper restaurant lunch especially their raspberry bread and butter pudding. Mmmm Mmmm!
