I thought I would pop up the quilts I made for my 2 grandsons, aged 9and 11. I made them both with the same fabrics but placed the blocks opposite on each quilt. </div>

Apparently, they love their new quilts and show them off to all their friends ... which makes grandma feel very good. :) </div>

I've fallen behind again. I know if I did this more regularly it wouldn't take me so long to write each post, but it is because it takes me so long that I don't write as often as I should, so a bit of a catch 22. <br />
Anyhow, I thought I would pop up a pic of the blanket I made for my new grandson.<br />
<br />
<br />

I embroidered his name and date of birth on it.<br />
<br />
The blanket is self-binding and made from 100% cotton flannelette ....I always like to use natural fabrics for babies and children. These are really easy to make and the pattern is available from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.<br />
<br />
As some of you may know, I went to Adelaide for a quilting retreat last month (March). I met some wonderful women, learnt lots of new skills, saw some new sights and had lots of laughs and a fabulous time. I came home with too much new fabric, of course, and some new patterns designed by some of my very clever new friends. The first one I completed was this lovely project bag designed by Fee of Fee's Shabby Shack. This great pattern is currently sitting at No. 1 on Craftsy's pattern page. Well done, Fee, and thank you for a wonderful project.<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I</span>n September last year my daughter and I went on holiday for 5 weeks. Our first stop was Amsterdam for 36 hours as a stopover on our way to London. <br />

We flew into Schipol Airport at 5.30am, too early to book into our hotel, so after dropping off our luggage, we went in search of breakfast which we enjoyed while watching the traffic. Weekday peak hour traffic in Amsterdam is a thing to behold. The amount of cars are less than a lazy Sunday afternoon in most capital cities I have visited. It is the bikes that make up the majority of the traffic. They have their own lane next to the pedestrian footpath and their own traffic lights. It is easy to forget that there are bikes bearing down on you and as you walk across the bike path, which looks exactly like the footpath, you get vigourously 'belled' by oncoming traffic. :)<br />

In
the afternoon, after finally getting into our hotel at about midday,
and being able to have a shower, I wanted to do a canal trip to have a
look around the city the easy way. So we went to Starbucks for a coffee,
and then I took notice of my daughter's suggestion of the direction we
should head off in, and off we went. Note to self: when in strange city 1) do not listen to daughter; 2) buy a map. 2 hours later we
were still walking the streets trying to find our way back to the city
centre. Now, don't get me wrong, it was certainly a novel and
educational way to see the city and we certainly saw some sights we would
never have seen from a boat, but I could have done without the
exercise after a long haul flight and 30+ hours of virtually no sleep,
and she could have done without the blisters. In spite of all that
though, we had some great laughs and some great mother daughter bonding time.<br />

I have actually written stuff but for some reason I haven't published it, and the longer one leaves these things the worse it gets. So, I have cleaned out all the past unpublished posts and we're off to a fresh start.<br />
<br />
So, a brief catch up on the last 9 months , which I will publish in sittings, so a) any readers don't get bored; b) so I manage to get the posts published; then on to the present and a greater effort at blogging regularity.<br />
<br />
I will start with a subject that features quite forcefully in the home. Those objects of my affection that make the most mess, take up the most time and generally create havoc in my otherwise peaceful and organised life.<br />

A sad thing happened on 3 November 2012. I lost my old girl of 17 years. <br />

<br />Then a couple of weeks ago, I had a message from a very longstanding friend who desperately needed a home for a mature cat. To cut a long story short, I said yes and so Mr. Prince entered our lives.<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wq_GuZQFZ4/USBpqhQ63kI/AAAAAAAAAGU/_SbIYMGn_jk/s1600/MrPrinceFeb13.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="172" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-3wq_GuZQFZ4/USBpqhQ63kI/AAAAAAAAAGU/_SbIYMGn_jk/s200/MrPrinceFeb13.jpg" width="200" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Mr. Prince</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
Mr.Prince is not used to a large family so some adjustments are in order, for him as well everyone else, particularly Obsidian, who thinks he is the boss ... and probably shouldn't be in a multi-feline home ... but despite interminent growling, hissing and the odd bit of flying fur, we are gradually all getting used to each other. And so once again, the purr-people in our little home outnumber the humans 6-2.<br />

What has happened? Since I was last here, a mere month ago, Blogger, bless its little heart, seems to have morphed into a new format. Which means I have to start learning all over again. Ah well! Something else to keep me occupied. Like I haven't got so much to do now that I rarely manage to get in here and update already!!!!! Good job I now consider myself semi-retired having given up part-time work and although I continue to work for the same companyI am now on a casual basis so not working to a regular set timetable, just intermittently when they call me in. Hopefully this will give me more time to sew, scrapbook ..... and blog more regularly. So watch this space.<br />
<br />
I don't think I have told you about my kittens. Back in December, my next door neighbour and I rescued 8 orphan kittens whose mother was killed by a dog when they were just 5 days old.<br />

Between the 2 of us we bottle/syringe fed them, toileted, bathed, cleaned and generally mothered these babies. Everyone told us that it was inevitable that some would die and we should be prepared for this eventuality. There was one I was a bit worried about because it kept choking at feed time and would bring the milk back down her nose, so at about 2 weeks old I carted them all to the vet for a general check up but all seemed to be in pretty good health.<br />
<br />
So home again and keep doing what we were doing and at 3.5 weeks old this is how we were going. This is not imprisonment this is keeping us safe during exercise time. After all, 8 is a lot to keep control of and we didn't want to lose any behind the fridge or under the washing m,achine.<br />

At 8 weeks old we still had 8 strong, healthy kittens and we split them into 2 and my neighbour had 4 and I kept 4. My daughter has 1 and her boyfriend has 1 and I have 1, which all live here with me, and a friend took one. My neighbour still has all 4 of hers but is looking for homes for a couple. Between us we now have 13 cats.<br />

It's official!! I am useless at regular blogging. I could make all sorts of excuses, like for instance, not enough time, or the fact that I have been having a terrible time with my laptop and finally succumbed to buying a new one, but the bottom line is that although I think about doing it often I always get caught up doing other stuff.
So to catch up a bit on the things that have been happening.
So most importantly .... A birth announcement: I recently was lucky enough to have been presented with my 7th grandchild, a beautiful baby girl named Emily Anne Ellen, a beautiful little sister for Rebecca and Jayden. Thank you to my lovely son, Terry and his wife Julianne.

I have failed in my goal to make regular blog posts this year. Never mind ... only 2 weeks and a new year starts and I can make it a goal for next year :)<br />
<br />
The reason for my apparent laxity is the fact that I am very involved in my genealogy and have recently been spending a lot of my free time in researching my family tree. It is very absorbing as I have contact with a cousin in the UK and between the two of us we have found lots of exciting information as, for example, my great-grandfather co-wrote a book with a famous cyclist and a Pre-Raphaelite artist painted a portrait of my great-grandmother which she donated to The Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery 2 years before she died, among a lot of other equally fascinating, to me at least, stuff, which will be of no interest to you unless you are related to me. :P<br />
<br />
Anyway, I'm here now and it appears I have a bit of time to catch up with, so I'd better get started. I won't bore you with lots of words, I will just put up a few pics of things I have been doing. I will probably do a few posts over a few days so I can totally catch up with this year before it ends.<br />

This is a table runner I made for my daughter-in-law ... front and back. These are her favourite colours. I also made her a Bag-bag in the same colours.<br />

The following are a couple of a number of peg bags I have made. The left one was for a friend and the one on the right for a different daughter-in-law, whose favourite colours are also red and black. (Doesn't allow a mother-in-law much in the variety stakes when sewing for them :( <br />

Living in a small place leaves me wanting for storage, so I am thinking of making different ones of these to store things in different rooms/cupboards around the house. I want to redesign them slightly so they close in the front. When I have got to them I will put up some pics.<br />
<br />
For those of you who don't know, my next door neighbour and I rescued 8, 5 day old orphan kittens last Friday and are hand-rearing them. They are progressing wonderfully and are now 11 days old. Here are some pics I took over the last couple of days.<br />

I am feeling a little guilty that I tell you at the end of May that I will be updating soon and it is July before I get around to it. However I have a reasonable excuse and I know that I will not forget June 2011 in hurry. <br />
To bring you all up to date, as many of you will not know, I had to fly off to the UK in a rush as my mother died rather unexpectedly, on June 2. I had not seen my mother or been back to England for 13 years, so the whole trip was quite emotional on a number of levels. However, the beauty of England never ceases to amaze me and at that level was most inspiring. My family comes from the heart of Sussex and lives on a hundred acre farm which consists of about 60 acres of working grain farm and 40 acres of woodland, which, in spring, comes alive with bluebells and primroses. The area teams with wildlife of course, and within the first couple of days I had seen squirrels, a family of pheasant, (daddy, mummy and 2 babies), a couple of foxes, a young deer frolicking through the oats ... .well you get the idea. Unfortunately I didn't get many landscape photos, but I will pop 2 on here that I took of a couple of fields. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Overlooking a field of young corn to the woods on one side:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVT8390pQxGbdEORKFHlvpwLfjjpJ_StDv1h00COnosum2rRbJTHwYstvQ2TwM9wDI52oZEMIaQifsPN4YyPwDt8UAcmAqFnfif46vqqwtbMWf6JZVFqZH5R4mkPFzmT0KP4VpqhCIW4/s1600/CornWeb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtVT8390pQxGbdEORKFHlvpwLfjjpJ_StDv1h00COnosum2rRbJTHwYstvQ2TwM9wDI52oZEMIaQifsPN4YyPwDt8UAcmAqFnfif46vqqwtbMWf6JZVFqZH5R4mkPFzmT0KP4VpqhCIW4/s320/CornWeb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

It is wonderful being able to go back 'home' and stay in such beautiful tranquil surroundings, listening to the sounds of the English songbirds. It makes one not want to come back to the noise and bustle of the city.<br />
My mother is buried in the village churchyard surrounded by trees, with birds singing and overlooking a field with grazing sheep. It is such a beautiful, peaceful spot and I know if she had picked where she wanted to buried, she would have picked it for herself.<br />

</div>Moving on. I arrived home to a sick daughter, who, incidently, turned 18 while I was away, and decided to develop a raging temperature withing 24 hours of me getting home ... thank you sweetpea for saving your sickness for mum .... and passed it on to me, though I didn't get whatever-it-was as badly as she did, though combined with jetlag did make me feel pretty grotty.<br />
<br />
Then to top it off, I find that Google, in their wisdom (or is that stupidity) had messed around with one of their accounts, of which I, in this instance, am unfortunate to have as it had never supported blogger before. It was set up in a different account but using the same email address, which Google now decided to separate. To cut a long story short so I don't bore you to tears, they requested that I update and move my blog so that I can use it with my account. Does it work? No!!! Everytime I log in it tells me that I am not the author of any blogs and would I like to create one. Huh!!! So I then have to set up a new email address so I can access my blog. I am telling you all this incase there is anything different about my blog that you notice, (maybe the email or blog address?), and wonder why. However, now that I am able to access my account again, I will try and update a little more consistently as I know I have been rather remiss recently.<br />

However, it appears that things may begin to quieten down over the next week or so and therefore, hopefully, I will soon be able to resume normal activities and get some serious craft happening ;) <br />
So, to all my dear friends and followers, please don't give up on me yet ....
