A touch of the deja vue

when I saw these photos today I had to look twice as it only seems a few months since Mya started nursery (she's now in 'big' school) and today our little Gracie started nursery.....she was so excited and raring to go - fingers crossed it lasts.

Gracie is 3 - well almost

it's Gracie's 3rd birthday on Tuesday but we had her family party today.  Being Pesach she couldn't have a shop birthday cake so it fell to me to make her pesadicher cakes.....

now I need to make another one at the end of the week for Perry's birthday and no he isn't getting a snow white cake.



A gift for Nes'i

I always make my grandchildren their own shawl and have been knitting away over the past few months making one for our miracle baby.  I chose a Victorian pattern called Tree of Life and it is made in 1ply wool (I must be mad).  It measures 60" square and I am rather pleased with it.

My not so 'little' girls

my babies are growing up, Mya is 5 now and Grace will be 3 next month, so glad we'll soon have another baby to love.  Meanwhile back to my big girls, they are such good company and I love having them here.  The latest photos.....

At last some cards....

,,,,my mojo has gone awol again but I have managed to make a few cards, mainly because some important birthdays are coming soon.  It took me twice as long as normal to make these but I got there in the end...

firstly a card I was asked to make for a 60th, the front part opens to reveal a photo of the recipient.

and then a very important card - for my youngest granddaughter's 3rd birthday next month, the stamp is called Grace so I had to use it for Gracie's card.....

then it is my younger son's birthday next month, he loves to cook and he enjoys a good wine so I thought this was a good combination....

now a card for my sister-in-laws birthday......

and this one was purely because I was on a roll......

and finally two get well cards - I seem to have had a run on them lately and was getting low on stock......

now to try and track down Mr Mojo.

not crafting news.....

....I have been crafting since my last post, but keep forgetting to dig the camera out and blog - note to self must try harder.

However for the past couple of months I have been sitting on some fantastic news and at last I can reveal all.  Perry and Sheryl are making us grandparents again in September.  This baby is truly a little miracle and we are all so excited.  We have been truly blessed, baruch Hashem.

It's a blue day...

...for my Daisy and Tilda cards today, I even used some of my ribbon from Crafty Ribbons (on the thank you card) love ribbon with words on it.
