In Our Neck of the Woods

Saturday we had an early birthday celebration for our son as he is in hospital today for it after undergoing major surgery. Not a fun way to spend your birthday. it was a great family day full of noise, chatter, kids, very nice food and laughter.
We of course had to have cake.....and cupcakes even better!
It's always good to have help blowing out your candles...
and doing a bit of a taste test...yep! All good!
Thanks Aunty Melissa for the piccies!

Happy Birthday Lucas...love ya lots xxx
On the sewing front, lots of quilting still and a little bit of red work. I haven't stitch this one for a very long time and I am really enjoying it.
When I visited Fiona up on her mountain, she was telling us she was off the air with computer issues and how awful it was. We all commiserated and teased her just a teensy bit.....I got home and.... my tablet had died lol! That'll learn me!! Much moping took place.....and then...
My lovely husband bought me a very early birthday gift (secretly I think he was sick of looking at the saaad face lol)....it is so nice and takes piccies too! Yay! I was never totally happy with the one before but not knowing anything about them....but I now know better....love this one!
Isn't she pretty? Yes I know that is just the case.
Thought I would tease you just a little more about the "Michelle's Secret Stitching Long Term Project".....won't be too much longer!
Intrigued???? I hope so! LOL!
I hope if you are here in Oz that you are managing to keep snuggly and warm. It's blowing a gale here today.
Namaste and Blessings,
Michelle xxx

    Well, if you have to be in hospital for your birthday it is definitely better to have had cake beforehand. Happy Birthday to Lucas.
    Lots of playing to be had with that new tablet!
    Too cold to even consider going outside today.

    Happy Belated Birthday to Lucas. Hope everything has gone well surgery wise.

    Enjoy your new toy. I got a new Ipad a few weeks ago to replace my older one and Im as much in love with the new one as I was the former one ( which my Dad is now getting addicted to )
