When not paying attention to what you are doing..lol

But I have finished 3 Easter designs and they are hanging on my rather
large ornament tree..

And found this cute fabric I have backed the mini egg with, and need to go get some large ribbon for a bow on it I think.

We're going...

Screaming at the laptop..
But I got them... Yay..


Lee-Ann xx

Its been a hard day

For some...





And that blanket is his favorite, along with his 1 in his bed. He either has 1 or them both together and "sooks" on them...




He does this all the time, the blanket isn't chewed, he just "paws " it and "sooks" on it. We call them his " blankies" and he knows it.

Our first dog Toby did the same, but it was on a jumper of mine I ruined with a white out incident.. Long story ..lid stuck, me yanking, liquid paper everywhere.. and we called her " Tiffany" .. The jumper was a designer label.. Back before kids lol. We buried him with Tiffany, as I couldn't throw Tiffany out, or him be alone.

A pretty parcel & a finsh..almost..

I have almost finished my mini egg, but I ran out of thread last night.
Not happy jan !! 4 rows to go and I don't have any more.
But lucky for me lissy has 1/2 a skein she is posting off to me..

I wish designers would mark on the charts how many skeins you need..






And a parcel delivery...

And inside...



My fabric & buttons for SB scatter eggs and their new releases

Sebs big day at soccer...

Last night - Saturday

Seb was ballboy for

Melbourne Victory Vs Melbourne Heart

at AAMI Park in Melbourne.

He had to be dropped of

at 5.30pm for an 8pm game.

So Jon  -Sebs dad ..dropped Mad and me

into the city and then we went

to the ground to watch later.

So it was Mads turn to

shop with me..

We started with a visit to

KoKo Black

for afternoon tea,

Iced Choc for Mad & Iced Coffee for me.

Then we went shopping.

Had to visit a wool shop - Morris & sons , which I had brought

some linen from. It was cut so bad

I took it back. they said it wasnt acceptable

so gave me a replacement piece with 10cm

added on..good customer service.

While there, there is a english shop

that we always visit - ( these 2 shops are

always on the Fab 4 route too)

And came out with a T-shirt for sebs birthday - a Man U one of course

and Mad met the Queen..

she popped in for a browse.

Then a visit to Myer, David Jones

I didnt realise these shops are open

to 7pm which was great.

Then I had promised her

tea at the Pancake Palour

we dont have one near us

so this was a treat.

Ham , pineapple & cheese crepe for Mad

Chicken & mushroom crepe for me

Then onto the game to see Melbourne Vic

opps..Seb.

 Seb the Ball boy...

we were about 5 rows behind him

which was great.

when he got there, they took them into the

inner sanctum ..they saw the gym, medical room,

change rooms, pool...

saw the Victory players arrive -by bus and set up

their gear.

They got uniforms to wear.

 soccer isnt Mads "thing"

so she spent it listening to her music

and taking photos - like.."smile mum" which a few

times i wasnt ready, i am hoping they have been deleted..lol

.. and watching

the cheer squad..who are so loud and

entertaining ..

 The line up.

Melbourne Victory -lime green - (away tops)

Melbourne heart - red & white

its was a warm day, and the

night weather was perfect for a game.

 Seb - bottom left in blue.

he had a great time,

didnt stop talking about what

he saw, and who he saw..

3 of his favourite players up

so close ..

pity they couldnt take the camera in  :-(

on the way home 11.15pm

he said he was hungry.

i asked him what they gave them to eat.

Nothing..they couldnt find the food !!

how can you loose food for 24 kids ???

so a quick drive thru Mc D's

for a cheese burger meal

and he was right..



2 kids & 2 rabbits ...

1st day of school for 2012

was yesterday..

where have my babies gone??

 I MADE them take the photo

and told them its going to happen until

they finish school ..whatever age they are..

Im the MUM and I want 1st day photos..

so after my little "episode"

they did it ..

I'm thinking my "episode"

was more -OMG they are as tall or taller than me,

growing into beautiful mature people

oh and soon I maybe not be able to get

them to do stuff ..lol

and progress on my mini egg

yesterday. the house was so quiet

and i got to have the remote to myself

for an hour or 2 ..
