Where do the weekends go ?

Already it is Saturday afternoon and it feels like I have just been hanging around.  I had a bit of a late night last night as I had to take DD No 2 into the city to attend her Garde 10 Graduation.

She wanted to spend the least amount of time in heels as she could - Here she is popping her shoes on as we arrived around the corner from the venue. 



Here is my Darling Daughter No 2 - Kaitlin with her special friend Nathan.  It is a very proud moment in a parents life when a child reaches some of life's goals.  It seems like only yesterday when she took her first steps.  Now she is stepping out into the big world chasing her dream of a business studies course.



I have to admit to one or two maybe even 6 tears last night - LOL



How is your christmas planning, shopping, making and decorating going?  I have yet to delve into the depths of the garden shed to pull out my house decorations but I did visit a "Christmas Shop"  in a beautiful little town nearby called Kempton.

It boasts a wonderful aray of beautiful decorations all lovingly displayed in colour sections.  I of course was drawn to the crystal shabby decorations.

And how could I resist when the lovely owner is having a 50% off sale.  After we got to chatting it seems that this lady is a quilter and has a long arm quilter on the way.  How fantastic !!

I thought that as we are all rushed and may have great intentions of making hand made bits for friends and relatives but time doesn't allow for that you might like to make my little travel needlecase which will take about 10 - 15 minutes to make and will use up just scraps.

You can go HERE to download the pattern. Have fun with it.

And as for me - I had best go and tidy up the house and hopefully find my mojo hidden under something.
