So Much News ... Many photos too!!

Hello there!

I have made one wee hanger ... Nope, not much sewing at all ... This was for the kids school bus driver!  We have named the bus the 'Disco Bus' because of the flashing school sign on the back of the bus plus the music is always loud as my kids always ask for it to be turned up!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO RYAN

14 TODAY!! 

What an exciting few weeks we have had! We have had such a fantastic time.  First of all there was all fun in the run up to Laura's wedding.  Then the week finally arrived ... it was a week filled with family, friend and fun!!  

My friend Sarah came over with her family for a week!  We spent one day on a big outing!  We had a ball!!

First stop was Ballinatoy Harbour.  For all you Game of Thrones people you may of heard of this place!  Me .. I have no clue but it was a beautiful place all the same!

Congratulations to the Bride and Groom!!

Laura you looked GORGEOUS

Beautiful flower girls

I think the pictures tell the story!!  I was one proud mama seeing my James walk Laura down the aisle to Johnny!  His speech was fantastic!! 

Such a great week that words cannot describe it!!  It was great to catch up to old friends and meet people I have never met before!  Totally brilliant!! 

Back to the rhythm of sewing now I think!!  I miss it hehehe!!

By for now,

Hugs

Such a long time .... (Lots of photos)

Hello to all my lovely readers,

Oh my I have been away from my blog for such a long time! Where has the time gone??  Who stole my weeks??  lol  It is hard to believe that Baby Abby is 7 weeks today .... 

Abby Having a picnic in the park :)
A nice big cheesy bun she pinched lol

But that means my kiddies have had 7 weeks of the summer holidays off school already .... 2 more weeks to go until school starts again and guess what ... I have hardly done a stitch :(  

I have managed to finish off Abbys birth sampler and complete Round Robin pieces but thats about it!!  Roll on school starting lol

But we have had a good few day out and in particular a beautiful day at the park with a big picnic tea!  We had a ball and again time was lost but whos counting the hours?  Not us!!  lol We have been to the park a few timeas and the kids love it there!!  

Yummy yummy Picnic food :)
(we scoffed the lot too!!)

Whilst the children were away at their fathers I decorated Katie and Cara's bedroom .... with the help of Lily! I am waiting on a few bits and pieces to arrive in the post to complete their room but so far so good the girls love their new room!!  cara is now also in a full size bed and she loves it!!

Lily the painting boss!!

Cara and Abby giving Cara's new bed a try!!

I spent yesterday doing school uniform shoping for all 5 children! My purse is now a few hundred pounds lighter :(  The kids and I had a ball going around the shops getting all that they needed!! Cara cannot wait to start school but the teacher she was meant to have has left, Im gutted becasue she is a brilliant teacher and I so hoped Cara would be in her class.  At this moment in time we have no idea who her teacher will be!!  Its a wait and see I guess .... I hate the unknown!!

Today my friend Karen popped in with a lovely surpise for Cara ... A fab knitted hat for her :)
Cara loved the wool that Karen was knitting a blanket and cardi for Abby that Karen decided to knit a hat for her :)  What a lovely friend she is xxxx

Well, I think I have waffled on long enough.  I hope you enjoyed the family photos :)

Happy crafting weekend all 

Love me
