A Summer Swinging Quartet!

good afternoon...

i thought i was going to have a quiet restful day yesterday

but how wrong can you be!

unexpectedly

a family came over after church

with two little babies,

one their own...

master j was nine months old

and

miss j was borrowed

and nearly a year old.

in a house full of adults

the dogs freaked out

and had to be hidden..

'cos after they freaked

the kids did too!

we fed and entertained them

with bowls of cereal..porridge for one, weetbix for the other..

then the best baby toys were brought out..

a pink whisk, a little plastic drainer basket, a scraper

&

a plastic tape measure.

it doesn't take long to forget

how tiring babies make you

when yours have all grown up...

today i'm in recovery.

kudos to all mums and grandmas out there!

i've just managed to squeeze in a bit of sewing

and complete the quartet of summery swinging cushions...

this time i've made them all the same size

so they can sit in a row and look neat.

i have made sure

that none of them are like the other set of three

i made from this fabric..

so they are still totally unique.

'rosey'

the newest one...

sitting fresh and pretty

with her white buttoned

and red contrasting back.

if you're at home with your babies today

i take my proverbial hat off to you...

i've rediscovered

that it's hard yakka!
