I’m grandma

​yesterday Ana asked me a question. I can’t remember what it was, but she always starts buy saying 

Grandma. Well little Miss Georgie said grandma too. 

Grandpa was there and I asked. Did she just say grandma, he said yes. And to prove it 

She said grandma again and gave me a big smile and a hug. 

Well. Let’s just say I was very chuffed. 

Until later on she called out Trixie. 

Still I was first and I’m never first. It’s usually grandpa 

She’s playing with grandpa but she kept her eye on me. 

When she was tired. She crawled over, I picked her up and she cuddled in,

Put her thumb in her mouth and went to sleep 

See this is why grandma’s are padded and squishy.  We make comfortable beds lol 

While grandpa was keeping Georgia busy Ana and I did some crafting.

We haven’t been able to do much since Georgia arrived, so we were really overdue 

I bought a packet of these simple stitch squares. 

We have  decided that we will do one a week.

Is simple and a quick project, so it was easy keeping her on task. 

We had to take photos to send to mummy. 

I may have forgotten to do that. Grandma is getting forgetful in her old age 

So another Friday passed by. 

It is easier when grandpa is here. I don’t feel bad spending most of

My time with Georgia. He can take over and I can then give Annie 

Some one on one. 

I think she really liked that 

Anniversary

​

38 years and they said it wouldn’t last. 

It honestly doesn’t feel that long. It’s all gone in a blink of an eye

It’s been a roller coaster but we got through it all 

Our reward two children who grew up to be decent 

And loving adults 

A son in law and a daughter in law who are the best we could of asked for 

And four granddaughters 

I think we have done a great job. 

Here’s to what ever time we have left 

I hope they’re as blessed as our 38 years have been. 

Wordless Wednesday

​

Little house on the prairie

​our little house is coming together 

We have put the beds together and have made them. Ready for someone to sleep in 

There are two blanket boxes that need to be put together. 

We have finished one. That one  goes in the bigger room so that Trixie can use it to jump up and down 

From the bed. 

The second one, was supposed to go in the second bedroom but there is no room 

So it will go in the living area to provide more sitting space 

Our wonderful son in law is here connecting the water from the tanks to the 

Little house.  

We have power, the solar system is working  perfectly. 

I was able to use my hair straightener. 

I got very excited by that lol 

So progress is being made. 

Soon it will be liveable.  

I can’t wait to spend the night in it.  I hope our children will use it 

The dream is manifesting beautifully 

A lovely day

​grandpa was here all day helping with the girls. 

It was great having someone there so I could at least have a coffee in peace 

Here they all are watching pepper pig 

There was discussions on what was happening. Ana told grandpa who all the characters were and what the episode was about. 

I gave Annie her gloves. She loved them telling me that they’re so soft 

Georgia, as usual, wouldn’t sleep unless I was holding her. 

I did get her into the little pull out kids sofa.  But I had to be right there 

She had lots of fun telling grandpa how to use the iPad. 

In fact she got quite vocal when he tried to take over 

They have all gone home now. 

Most of the evidence has been cleaned up

And put away. 

I’ll finish tomorrow morning before we head off to the farm for a few days. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been 

It will be nice to just get away, even for just a couple of days 

A business adventure

​my lovely friend Dianne, sells things at craft markets. Not the big markets but ones organised for retirement villages or at pop up places. She started doing the one at Christmas. She is Mrs Christmas.

She busily makes things to sell. Not really for a huge amount of money, she’s like me and loves the actual craft making. 

Her stall buddy told her about one at her mums retirement home. 

I asked if I could give her a few things to sell for me and she said she would be happy too

I showed her the few hanging towels I had made and she loved them. 

I had given her  Christmas one as a gift a few years ago and used it every year 

I gave her a kitchen one, with a hairy coo on it. And one for her downstairs bathroom 

She has taken those home and will show her stall Buddy. 

Her stall buddy is another of our swim friend group. I’ll make her one with a cute kitten it as she used to breed ragdoll cats. 

This afternoon I’ve been cutting and sewing. I did have a few of the toppers cut out which gave me a head start 

I’ve had enough for today but will continue tomorrow. 

She said make about thirty of them. I’m sticking to about a dozen  but will make a few every week until the craft market 

I’ll then make some up using Christmas themed ones for the end of the year. 

Assuming there is a demand for them. 

Even if they don’t sell, they make nice presents. Guess what all the swim friends will be getting this Christmas 

Tuesday shenanigans

​this morning I set the alarm for six. I needed time before heading off into 

Cranbourne to do all the morning chores and straighten my hair. 

These days that only happens if I leave the house. 

It was hard going as I didn’t actually go to sleep until half past two!

I headed off to meet the girls for our weekly coffee and catchup 

I also got my nails done.  Got to have pretty nails 

Then off to a friends house for a quick visit before we both headed off 

To meet yet another swimming friend for lunch. 

It’s her mother’s birthday today. She lost her mother about six months ago. 

I then headed home to a waiting parcel at my front door 

It contained a few hairy coo’s 

A new phone cover. This one feels much sturdier than the one I was using 

 And some for my car.  I need to vacuum the floors, but I couldn’t resist 

Putting them in 

I think I may have a problem. 

I don’t care. I love them, and they make me happy.  

And that’s all that matters
