the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause,
savor and remember.

Loving Right Now

I am loving having my niece to stay, she is the same age as Master O and they so enjoy each other.

I am also loving teaching them both some new sewing techniques.

I am loving the beautiful weather we have been getting that helps to make catching up 

with friends and 

there children in the country such a joy.

  (oh how these children grow so quickly sometimes).

Land boarding behind the gator

I am squeezing in sewing whenever I can.

Lovebirds everywhere

I am really loving this new book I just got from the library.

It has some great smoothie recipes.

Well I must go the kids are bouncing on my bed , my niece is keen to do some more sewing.

It must run it the blood!

Last Week

Last week started with a friends email to say that there seven year old had just been diagnosed with Muscular Dystrophy. 

I then had coffee with a friend who told me she had been diagnosed with 

Post Natal depression.

The next day another friends twelve year old ended up in hospital and they were diagnosed with Multiple sclerosis.

When our children are born if they have 10 fingers , 10 toes etc we assume everything will be fine with them and us.

Master O was born six weeks early and was in and out of hospital for the next 3 years before he was diagnosed with an immune condition. 

He is now a happy healthy little boy.

What got me through those first three years was the love  and support of my family, my friends 

and my faith in God.

One never knows what life will send our way.

I hope and pray I can be there for my friends.

This year I have a verse on display in my lounge.

Every time I read it, it gives me strength:

 I wish this for my friends at this time.

Renovating

We are renovating the spare room in our 1920's house. 

Mr O has spent the last few days demolishing walls and ripping up carpet.

I have spent my time trying unsuccessfully to keep the dust and deb re out of the rest of my house.......................... , 

Scouring magazines for wardrobe and storage ideas.

Plus entertaining Master O when he is not help his father with the sledge hammer!

Taking off the walls has revealed all sorts of things were were surprised to find or never knew.

For example a history of where doors once were.

We have spent time trying to guess was this room once the laundry, the kitchen, the bathroom ...................who knows.

 

Here are a few pictures I have in my pile of ideas I like.

I must now pull my men away from the Tour de France and get them back to renovating!

Right Now

The sun is shinning 

My house is in an uproar as we are renovating our spare room, my craft room.  

I am now working out of a corner of my lounge, but oh when its finished my new spare room / craft space will be beautiful.

Master O is on school holidays, we are loving hanging out together.

Still sewing goes on.

Here are some picture's of a couple of new designs.
