Gosh, it's already 2 weeks since my last post - I can't believe time has flown by so quickly!
There's a lot of happiness around here at the moment; the sort that fills your heart so much that you're sure it will burst ♥
Is it because I've bordered my Scottie dog and he's nearly ready to be made into a cushion?
Is it because I finished another wee cardie?
Is it because I whipped up a wheatbag for DIL's aching muscles?
Maybe it's because quilting is progressing on Lily's quilt?
Maybe it's because our son and his family have finally moved back to New Zealand!!
The happy event took place less than a week ago and we are still getting used to seeing them most days. They've moved into the other house on the farm, just over the hill from us.
And imagine this.... two small girls waving at Gandad as he gets the herd in!!
It's a wonder I'm getting anything else done at all, isn't it :-)
I thought I'd finish with this beautiful Giant Hyacinth which is opening out at the moment. A sign that Spring is well and truely on its way :-)

Or maybe because ED wanted in on the wheatbag action and requested an extra long shoulder-to-shoulder one?
NO!!!
How cool is this - their first morning here - the girls still in their pyjamas coming out to 'help' me feed the calves.

Happy stitches ♥
Oh, happy days ahead for Grandma! What wonderful news! Love the shot of them helping you in their jammies. :)
ReplyDeleteI expect to be seeing a lot of those cuties in your future posts. And you have been busy in so many other ways, too!
Curious about something--does working with the wheat not bother you? I haven't scooped, or poured, or even opened a container of wheat in 3 1/2 years.
How wonderful and a great reason to be so busy... and lots of lovely projects happening too... your quilt is looking lovely....
ReplyDeleteI'm interested why Janet would ask about the wheat …..

How wonderful to have you family so close.
ReplyDeleteBusy lady....and sensible family getting back to NZ! Lovely to see all your good news
ReplyDeleteOhhh yipee! I am sooooo happy for you! How wonderful that you are all now together again.......I do love all your lovely projects but I think those family pics are the winners xxx
ReplyDeleteYour life is so full of happy thigs. I know how very precious it is to have your children close by. I have three children and 11 grandkids with a twelth on the way due to arrive in October. My youngest daughter lives in my parent home, which is practically my back yard. They got it as a fixer upper and turned it into a beautiful home. My son lives about 3 miles from my house and my eldest daughter lives about 25 miles away. I am blessed.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you're sew happy.... great having all your family close... I'm surprised you got any sewing done ....love the photos.
ReplyDeleteI have goosebumps clear down to my toes! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely for you & your hubby! It's great they are so close now & you'll enjoy being involved with the little ones so much. And... you can hand them back at the end of the day!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you are happy, having that delightful family so close by.
ReplyDeleteWonderful for you all
ReplyDeleteSo nice to have the family close by
Life could not be better than having everyone home again. I do understand how busy life becomes with so much activity, but it is well worth it.
ReplyDeleteOh Raewyn you & the Mr have much to be happy about! To have your all your family so close.....pure bliss!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the grands! Our son and his family live in the 2nd house on our farm. We see the grandson all the time. Farming is much better when there are grandchildren .
ReplyDeleteOh how wonderful! You have managed to make so many lovely things despite being so busy on the farm! Enjoy your son and his family being home! It sure is the cherry on top of a happy time for you!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you'll have the family nearby - very handy for baby sitting duties! The wheat bags would have been very welcome I'm sure, aching muscles are no fun!
ReplyDeleteYay! I'm sure you are pleased to have all the kids - big and small - so close to home!
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful to see the family back home, you are going to have such fun with the little ones close by now. You have been working on lots of beautiful projects Raewyn, that hyacinth is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHI Raewyn. I wouldn't worry about the time in between posts. Look at me taking a week to leave a comment for you!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you been kept busy on many fronts. How lovely to have your family back at home again and so close by. I can see you getting your grandie fix every day!
Love seeing all that you have been working on. It is surprising that in the middle of everything we do that some stitching still gets done.
Keep having a great time.
How lovely to have your son and family so close!!! You have so many pretty projects on the go, I don't know how you do it all! xx
