Hallo There!

Still here, just meandering through my days as I countdown to a wonderful holiday that I will tell you more about another day.

Priscilla has started thrice weekly Vitamin C infusions and is feeling a little brighter...the good news is that she has a 'gopher' now and can get out and about now the weather there is much milder...the girls ride their bikes along-side and Liam catches a lift with Mom...


I've been quietly crafting away and have finished an incline scarf made from a giant 200gm 'cake' of yarn...


made a bag from 3 samples of curtain fabric...


some 'subversive' embroidery...


some tasty meals...Singapore noodles...


Feta and spinach turnovers(the spinach was actually sweet potato leaves!) and stuffed capsicums with some chopped tomatoes and cucumber...


and some goodies for Dad, creamy soup, cooked pork sausages, vegetable 'quiche' and a dinner of silverside and vegetables...he grumbles when he sees so much food but it doesn't last long :)


Our little grandsons are continuing to thrive...Kullen is such a chubby chops now...


Cyclone Charlie is now walking and turns one year old next week...


...we're really looking forward to his Nanna Tracey coming over to join us for a week.

That's about all my news for now so I will wish you all a happy weekend,
Love from Sue

  1. So good to hear from you Sue. I've been thinking about you and checking in with your blog.

    Fantastic photo of Priscilla and Liam. They both look really happy.

    I love the colours of your scarf. Your embroidery looks great too. You are so fast, they would take me so long to complete.

    Cyclone Charlie - great name ��. I'm sure he will have a wonderful first birthday next week.

    Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

  5. Hiya Robyn and Nil...yes the gopher has made a huge difference to them all, they can play outside with Mom nearby and it's alleviated Mom's depression and frustration 100% xxx
