A year’s supply of Tim Tams!

by 5 Comments

I entered the Tim Tam giveaway on behalf of my son and he won!! Is this a good thing, I’m not so sure?! Anyone for a Tim Tam?

Here are some designs I’m loving at the moment. This one is the packaging for some Spanish chocolate, gorgeous stuff it is too. Can you imagine the commercial companies doing anything this artistic?

The cover of the New Directions catalogue that arrived yesterday, it’s more like a book than a catalogue, I ordered it for free from the website. Love the cover design.
Blue skies here this morning after the wintery conditions of late, but don’t we love all this rain?
God bless you, have a great day.

Our 10 year wedding anniversary

I had to show off these beautiful flowers my husband brought home lastnight, tulips and red roses, my favourite!
We had a lovely evening out to dinner and the baby was exceptionally behaved. The other children didn’t mind staying home with a friend either so it was a total success!
I am so grateful that after all this time we still like and love each other and our friendship is stronger than ever.

Anna Grace

Anna Grace has safely arrived! She was born on Monday morning weighing 3.29kg (7 pounds, 4 oz.) and she is beautifully perfect. The operation went very well and this is my best recovery yet.

The children all love her so she has received a warm welcome into our family. She feeds well and is, so far, a very contented baby.
Thankyou dear God for another beautiful blessing. We are so grateful to have her.

Birthday girl!

2 years old today! Of course it seems like yesterday she was a wee babe in arms, now to be replaced by another wee one. She loves the little apron I made her and is still wearing it now. I actually made it while she was asleep, so no measurements, but it fits perfectly.

She loves her new wee waldorf too. She is pushing her dollies around in the doll pusher she also received – a very happy little girl.
Today is also husband’s birthday, unfortunately he is at work, but we’ll have a little party when he gets home!
These are the embroidered buttons I mentioned in the last post. I’ve been wanting to start a button collection for ages so these are a start. I used a tiny quilting between and one strand of embroidery floss for these. Its very enjoyable, I must do more!

Ash Wednesday

Today is the beginning of 40 days of fasting and penance for Lent to prepare for Easter. As Jesus went into the desert for 40 days before the crucifixion we try to imitate Him as we prepare to celebrate his Resurrection at Easter. It is a great time of “toughening up” mentally, physically and spiritually by challenging yourself to go without and denying yourself comforts and luxuries.
