Well got finished with the baby stuff last night & its on the way to Perth as we speak.
Isn't it funny how things always seem to take longer than you expect to finish. I had hoped to be done on Monday but alas was a bit slower to complete, I think its the quilting that seems to take forever.
I thought ....OK couple of hours for quilting.....no prob
It took two days...not full days, but two days worth of crafting time. Am happy with the result though & really hope Andrew & Layla like them too.
Lots of love gone into these & i Sure hope it shows.....I'm so excited for them. There's nothing quite like a new born baby in a family to get the sweetness & love & happiness flooding in.
I do have some wonderful news of my own though (no I'm not.......)
My beautiful sweet girl Lauren & her guy Patrick are getting married in September. I can't believe it ,my first baby is gonna be a wife, a wonderful, lovely, beautiful wife. Seems like yesterday when I gave birth to her, 24 years ago.....Wow!!!!!
Mom of course (that's me) will be making her wedding dress & her bridesmaids dresses.....yikes that's five dresses for September.....will def be buying my own.
We couldn't be happier & I can't remember seeing her this happy ever....& I've seen her happy.
Was busting to tell..........!!!!!
Soooooooo that's me done, see you again soon, prob up to my tonsils in satin & lace :)
Lots of love & have a wonderful weekend
