Neglected

Poor little Henry cat

with all the bodies in the house last week

and people/princesses being in his face

he took to spending alot of time

in hiding

he was neglected

nobody but me likes Henry

they say he is just not a nice cat

he doesn't like being picked up, petted or annoyed

so

Harry is all visitors favourite kitty because he likes

everything but being picked up

so after the girlies and I dropped dh at the ship,

we popped into Calico Crossroads for some house goodies

we popped into Kmart for a dvd (the girl who played with fire)

and the supermarket for dinner bits

then

I hit the sewing room

so did Henry

he hopped into my current project fabric basket

and hasn't moved since

and tonight he gets his side of the bed back lol

he will be a happy kitty by the morning now there are no

princesses invading his personal space lol

A Beautiful day for a Picnic

It was a beautiful summers day today

31 degrees

and spent up the coast with a BBQ at latrobe for lunch and then onto the beach for the girlies to have a swim

after lunch chatting with my parents, aunt, cousin, husband, brother and his

'lady friend'

feeding the ducks with their cousin

miss S

Miss E

my baby Miss I

and all four of my babies together

Princess flies out tomorrow YIPPEE

she will be gone before I wake up

ds flies out tomorrow mid morning :(

dh joins his ship lunchtime

tomorrow is shaping up to be a perfect day lol

Shite really hit the fan here friday night

I had a major meltdown at ds

a very deserved meltdown

I got all my frustrations out

did it make any difference NO

but hell I felt so much better for it lol

I think I will make a shocker of a mother in law lmao

oh well its a new week tomorrow

a week of just the girlies and no crap to deal with

PERFECT really

Today

I found this in the newsagents when I went to get the paper

and out of it I have made

and

and

and all made from fabric in my stash :)

I need to make 2 more then I will make  a new

table runner for the dining table

and poor Henry has resorted to sleeping where ever he can in my

sewing room while ds and 'princess' are here

the couch is covered in their clothes and crap

so he has to sleep on a pile of quilts stacked on the

back of the couch.

Roll on Monday :)

I am off to Calico Crossroads tomorrow

for a stitching day and after the week

I have had so far I honestly can say

I CAN'T WAIT!

My plan is to get Block 6 of

Down in the Garden

finished so I can start block 7.

Onwards and Upwards

I go

here is Miss S's much longed for new quilt

well the quilt top

she loves it

well so she says lol

Miss I's quilt is on the cutting table some cut, the bulk

not.

Princess and ds are out, neither were impressed when

I started cleaning the house at

9am, and she was even unhappier when I told

them both to get their lazy ar*e's up (9:45) make the bed and

pick up their sh*t, so I could clean my sewing room.

Princess took herself and ds downstairs to Miss E's room where

she promptly put herself back to bed and made ds hold her

hand while she slept....

I personally want to slap her silly......

I just keep reminding myself its only until Monday morning

but with dh going back to work on the weekend, for princess

monday might never come.....

we are off to a bbq at Grandma's

to celebrate ds birthday which was yesterday

I have cooked chicken wings, made hamburgers, made cream puffs

just have a salad to make and we are good to go.

Girlies are happily playing and dh is putting some steps in down the backyard....

I am heading back into my sewing room to cut out

some more fabric for the next quilt and to watch some

more of The Good Wife.

Happy Australia Day

Bad mama moment

but bloody hell that felt great.

ds arrived on Saturday night, so did 'princess'

'princess' is a demanding, spoilt little girl who has my son WRAPPED tightly around her finger, to the point that I have spent a grand total of 45 minutes with him on his own.

Well I just lost it, told him exactly what I thought of his behaviour, told him I would not accept it anymore.

that I didn't fly him home to be ignored nor to have to pick up after him nor the princess.

and that didn't sit very well at all, he took 'it' and walked out.

So I am now about to drown my sorrows, well as soon as dh goes to the bottle shop for me and hopefully they wil spend very little time in my presence until next monday when they leave.

I know that I am probably over reacting but I haven't seen him for over 2 years, she sees him every day

Civil War Quilt blocks

these are the two I have done

Catch Me If You Can

North Star

North Star is supposed to have a different colour centre

but I just couldn't do it lol

as soon as I can get to my sewing machine and cutting table

I am going to attempt to make it 'the right way'

and I have to make the new block
