Little crafting...

...but lots of cuddles!!
(Warning: don't read any further if you don't want to see photos of babies).

My two daughters and I had a fabulous trip last weekend visiting 'our babies.'
The wee girls are over 6 months old now and at a beautiful age for lots of giggles, smiles and interactions.
Our two little chubs ♥
Saydee and Kaliah ♥
Lots of time for cuddles ♥
Doting Aunties ♥
Doting Ganma ♥
Quick family pic before we hit the train and the plane to go home ♥
While we were in Australia I was delighted to spend an afternoon with gorgeous bloggy friends Michelle and Fiona. 
One cup of coffee lasts a long time when you are busy chatting!
I also showed Michelle my Calendar Bears quilt - her design - which The Country Yard has been stitching this year - sadly I didn't quite get the quilting finished before I went over.
Since I've been home, time has flown and I haven't achieved a huge amount on the sewing front. I am working on this sneaky project, but at the moment this (below) is all I can share :-)
Hopefully I'll have some sewing to share in my next post!

  14. the babies are so healthy looking, love those chubby legs - my girls had legs like that when they were babies, also love the jumping swings in the doorway that they are in - I had one of those years ago for my girls and when I was a baby (63 years ago) they had them too then as I remember seeing photos of my little brothers in them. It looks like you had a very good visit and you need to go a bit of a distance to visit don't you - I have to go 14 hours to see my grandkids.
