Lovely photo. Although the circumstances are less fortunate I think its a wonderful opportunity for Grandma and your family to share time together. My grandma recently stayed with my parents while she had treatment for breast cancer and I was there to have a baby. Without her needing the treatment we probably wouldn't have spent so much time together and she certainly wouldnt have met her new great grandson at such a young age! Goodluck with everything.
We're having a house-guest...
Over the last few days my father-in-law hasn't been feeling well, gradually getting much worse, day by day. So much so that I decided to sink into his skull that HE NEEDED to be seen by someone. I was getting worried about him & he can be quite stubborn most of the time. He ended up at the clini...
I havent seen leg warmers for years! maybe i live under a rock...
anyway, i think i will start some for my niece and maybe my daughter if they are cool for 12 yr olds. it doesnt look too hard for a beginner. :)
Winter leg warmers
Bella put out a call for a pair of winter leg warmers yesterday. There were a few frantic moments while I wondered if I should start yet another project. We all know that the uncompleted list is creeping upwards - x3 crochet blankets, Tunisian crochet pillow, my sampler embroidery, the bird ...

I am seeking a moment to make my watermelon jam. THere is an 18kg watermelon sitting on my verandah that kinda grew itself, great thing about watermelons!
I like to add ginger to the jam too. However using watermelon is quite time consuming as I haven't yet figured the best way to remove the seeds and in the end give up and go with the flow, seeds or not!
Yours looks devine and as others have said a great accompaniment to many a dish. Dont give it all away, you will be disappointed.
Making cumquat jam
Last week I patiently peeled and pipped one million tiny cumquats. Then I threw them in my Thermomix with some sugar. 20 or so minutes later I had delicious cumquat jam! Actually it was a little more like cumquat marmalade and I'm not a super marmalade fan, so I'm giving most of it away to m...

i have loved where the wild things are since i was a small child. i was terribly disappointed by the movie, i felt it went to a deep dark place far removed from this wonderful picture book. My kids love it too but i wont let them see the movie. Have you seen the movie?
Baby Book Club - Current Favorites
So would you like to know which books I can currently recite from memory? These five books are getting lots of attention these days, I think some of the others are a little jealous (don't worry, those are still well loved). The pages of these books have been turned more times than one would...

Ha ha ha, no one ever wants to be on my team if we play at my parents house! My drawing is TERRIBLE, and whats worse is I am a teacher...Much like Melisa I get asked what it is or why i have drawn something totally different to that which was expected...We don't have pictionary at my house as there weren't enough of us to play, but now DS has turned 5 he is more capable of joining in with us for some fun :)
