There has been a bit of action in the evenings though - relaxed in my comfy chair, I've made some progress on a few bits and pieces.
I finished these two vests I'd started earlier in the month —
 |
| Both the same pattern, needles etc - just different wool (although both labelled as the same weight). |

| hehe - photo bombing pic |
And I've finished this month's Whimsical Woodland Mystery Stitchery block (through The Country Yard) —
In between other projects in the evenings I've been making more zoo animals blocks —
I was thinking a teal to join them all together (ED's favourite colour) but she thought something more earthy. So we'll have to play and see.
ED's really slowed down on the crocheting lately - last week her babies Lily and George were born.
They were decent sized babies so it's no wonder ED spent the last weeks of her pregnancy feeling very large and uncomfortable. (George was 7 ½ lbs and Lily was 8lbs!).
They came for their first visit to the farm the other day - no tractor rides but I think Mum and Dad just wanted a change of scenery. We're so lucky that they live close, it's nice being able to help.

It's nearly calf-time so I'm off -
Happy stitches ♥

ReplyDeleteEnjoy granny.... Love the animals.... . You're busy at the moment on numerous projects.......
You may not have been doing much in the sewing room, but you have certainly been busy creating, and all of it looks great. Especially enjoy the whimsical stitcheries.
ReplyDeleteWow--you have been twice blessed with twins. Are there many sets in your extended family?
You are a wizard in the kitchen if you have been able to feed a crowd without an oven or stovetop!
It seems like over night you have become a grandma to SO many! Big beautiful babies. I love the crochet animals........at this rate Raewyn you better keep the baby blanket, quilts and baby knitting going at full steam ahead! Congratulations.

more twins - are these grandchildren of yours too? so big and healthy. How many twins do you have in your family?
ReplyDeleteMore twins? And I read back a few posts and see there is another baby, too! How exciting. You'll always have a reason to make more quilts. Congratulations to your family on all the new arrivals. What are the twins' names?
ReplyDeleteAwwww....so sweet. Congratulations to everyone. They really were big babies for twins. She must have been miserable for those last few weeks/months. Glad you are there to help out.
ReplyDeleteThose little animal blocks are so cute.
Goodness, is that your second set of twin grandchildren? I presume there are twins in either you or your husband's familes? Any more of your children available to produce twins? My next door neighbour is a twin and neither she nor her twin sister have twin grandchildren. Or twin children although I understand twins skip a generation.
ReplyDeleteTwins again, how lovely! And great that they are so close too, you will be called on I'm sure! Love those little vests, very cute! And those sweet crochet animal blocks, wondering now what you will make with them?
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful babies, congratulations to parents and grandparents alike!
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you and the twins..they sure were big babies!! Hope Mum and Dad are doing well. The crochet animals are wonderful, they will make a great blanket. More little knitted vests on the horizon for you now!! Love the photo bombers!! Your stitcheries are lovely Raewyn. Congratulations to the family.
ReplyDeleteHey Raewyn so happy for all that the twins have arrived safe and sound. Lucky you and Daryl, enjoy those cuddles. Also love the wee crochet animals such cuties and what a busy time you are having, hope the kitchen is up and running before the end of calving!! Hugs xxx

ReplyDeleteYay for new babies! Yay for the new kitchen working! Yay! for finishing more vests. You are so capable of doing just about anything. =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the arrival of George and Lily. They'er gorgeous and BIG for twins.
ReplyDeleteHow good they live close sew you can enjoy watching them grow.
Cute vests and lovely stitcheries... Love those zoo crocheted squares..
Good to see the kitchen is getting there. Great to be able to cook.
Congratulations to all Raewyn!! Two beautiful little babes. At lease you have found some time for stitching, crochet and knitting but maybe as they live quite near your time for needlework may be limited!!!
ReplyDeleteMore twins? Oh, my goodness, Raewyn! And aren’t they beautiful babies! Wow! Those animal squares are adorable. Can’t wait to see them all together in a blanket. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI had heard the news of the safe arrival of the babies from Kerryn... definitely a good size! You will have to share the weetbix recipe as I have one for a weetbix slice, but not a chocolate one. Would be interesting if it is more than the addition of cocoa!
ReplyDeleteLovely news on the arrival of the twins. Congratulations. That is so exciting. Glad I have caught up on the news. They look wonderful, and what a good size. I hope your daughter is doing well, too.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed you have been able to get any projects done when there are babies around!
Gorgeous little ones - congratulations. xx
ReplyDeleteOoooh twins! How exciting and lovely that you live nearby! I think I'd be there all the time cuddling them... and get nothing else done!!! Enjoy :) xx
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I missed this post!! Congratulations to you all especially ED and hubby....gorgeous babies. Lots of cuddles for you too which is lovely. Big hugs xxx
