I haven't done much crafting but I have had my boys up to visit over the holidays. They bought a friend. All is good we have been having a lovely time I do miss my boys since I moved up here It was a fight that and Zoe misses them very much when they go to thier dad's place? I know from what my boys tell me and what my girls tell me its not easy for them there. The step mother yells and is very demanding their father works late most nights so they are left with her. I wonder why they just don't come live with me since they are old enough to walk. but they choose to go back each time.
Each time they come back their mood is sad and they are not the boys I left in their fathers care 3 years ago my boys didn't need to be reminded time after time to take care of their hygienic needs now my younger one (13) needs to be reminded to go to the toilet and wipe him self. Yes it's that bad! I still struggle with bed wetting but because of how often I have my boys I cannot get in to a pediatrician and their dad won't take them as it is not a problem for them, so they tell me in one breath, but in the next they are telling me how many mattresses they have been though because of his bed wetting. yet they refuse to do any thing about it and my hands are tied. My washing machine is tired after the holidays too.
Well any way the boys just moved in to their newly carpeted bedrooms(now to get the downstairs out) back to a room each and my son(16) mucking around with his mate puts him through the wall so now there is a huge hole in the wall. I couldn't yell and let them have it but I went really quiet there no point yelling and carrying on it only hurts my voice. I made Mr 16 ring Rob to tell him about it and apologize Mr 16 and friend will be fixing it tomorrow! He thought he was going to see a girl.
OMG are the girls today hussies or what this one is chasing Mr16 and Mr spare teen like they were the last men on earth she already kissed Mr 16 and gave him a chest infection (girl germs hehe) now he wants to go stay at her place tomorrow Oh boy I think she is a ladette from the comments she makes on the boys face book accounts. Time to tell Mr 16 about girls like that hehe.
Just saw Mr 13 and Mr "spare teen" dancing to Mario Brothers music how cute! That is the stuff that makes the crap worth it.
Rob went back to work after taking some time off just to sort things out the end of this extention process is getting on top of me there are tiles to get up and the stuff that we put down stairs has to go somewhere else including every thing down stairs so we can pull up the old carpet( its not that old!:'(!) and get the new carpet in then sort out the house again so its finished. I really wasn't ready for him to go back to working away. Ah well this is life and it goes on. I guess after everything I am one lucky lady, and I am loved even as I type these thoughts with Zoe asleep on me. next to the fire on this cold winters day.
A red blood cell cant party alone now can it?
What a day I had. I some how got an urge to make cells and microbes so So I made some red blood cells I think they turned out ok you see you cant have just one of them. Yes I know we need more than just red cells but there are a few viruses and bugs I have my eye on too.
Woe is my puppy!
I am the cuddle person
Peanutt last year with all her legs, who knew she had bone cancer growing then?
Her favourite sleeping position
having fun with Arden and a friend
When we first got her we went on the million paws walk for fun and because she came from the RSPCA.
A little "kid" doll for Zoobee a mermaid challenge and "Charlie". They all look pretty happy up there.
This is what I am doing with left over nappy making material isn't it pretty? This is made of cotton velour and it is one of Zoobee's favorite tops. Looks amazing with jeans.
Looks like I am starting an Enid Gilchrist collection.My Ex MIL used to use these alot She never let me see them or even use them when my older children were small we really were cash strapped and I had access to her machines. I didn't like what she made back then but i think it was the way she embellished and how she used fabric not the patterns. These would have been useful to me way back then and would have saved money. Goes to show me that control was more the issue in that whole family.
Little bo peep from Australian smocking and embroidery with someofthe fabric from my MIL's stash I think its much nicer than plain gingham.I am continualy amazed at how warm smocked dresses are in winter for a quilting cotton, and also how cool they are in summer.
This is for a little new cousin the red is a little pinker than in the pic but I hope it is loved and used. A little hat and pouch doll and a big warm taggy blankie.
