STILLS : A WEEKLY COLLECTION (WEEK 9)

Linking up with Emma at The Beetle Shack for Weekly Stills.

Trying on her Birthday "Onesie" from relatives in Melbourne.

Home grown tomatoes finally are ready to eat.

James playing a few tunes before school.

Sienna enjoying eating our home grown corn for dinner.

I made these Piggy Cup Cakes at Sienna's request to take to school on her birthday for her class.

Sienna turned 8 on Thursday and we have a family tradition of having Pancakes for breakfast on your birthday.  I used these little Owl candles last year and brought them out again as Owls are her favourite thing.

I made her a Rag Quilt for her birthday and this was the reaction to my sewing project.

She was so excited to open the Quilt and see the pretty colours.

Rubbing her face in the very soft flannel fabric.

The Rag Quilt I made Sienna for her Birthday.

Birthday morning opening presents at 5.22 am.  She is loving her new little sparkly mirror.


James showing off his Dragon that he made at school in art class this week.

Sienna's birthday present consisted of the little shop set up with goodies and a little trolley.  James was playing the shopkeeper and Sienna was the customer.

James loved Sienna's Rag Quilt so much that I have bought some flannel fabrics to make him one as well.

    1. Thanks Amy that's lovely of you to say so. I want the kids to have a loving home environment and teach them about looking after themselves by learning how to grow veggies and cook etc. Kathy

    1. Thanks Melinda I really enjoyed making the rag quilt as it was relatively quick and easy and I love how much my kids know it was hand made and took time. James told me I was a great sewer and he had only seen the back of it. I can't wait to make his now for him. Kathy
