Jude went to his first wedding on Saturday and he looked a little smasher.

He's Done It

Andy Murray is the U.S Tennis Champion, I am so happy for this lad who has carried the hopes of the british people like a ton of bricks on his back, we have all watched and wished and cried for this talented man, what a relief for him and he did it so beautifully. I have been watching him for years and he has thrilled me, frustrated me and made me cry, I did'nt want him to do it for me I wanted him to do it for himself and now he has, Well Done Andy amazing Job.

CJQP July Block

This is my July block for CJQP, it is quite hard to keep finding new things to put in these blocks but once I get started I love doing them, I want to put them all together when they are finished to make a wallhanging for my bedroom, I have them in a file and they look so pretty.
We saw our grandson Jude today, he is such a warm cuddly bundle, I cannot believe he is 8 months old already, I am sure all grandparents feel like we do.

I Spy Quilt

I have had a lovely day in my sewing room today, I have been putting together an I Spy quilt for Jude, it has lots of animals and fruit and veg all very colourful oh there are cars and trucks as well, I also added lots of ribbon tags as Jude has a fascination for silky labels and concentrates very hard on them poking his little finger at them so I found lots of different texxtured ribbon and made lots of tags for him to play with, all I have to do now is put it together with wadding and a backing and then quilt it, I may have a go on Kathleens longarm quilter so that I can get it done quickly.
Hope you are all having a good day.

I have just started an 'I Spy Quilt' I have not done one before but now I have started one I can see why children would love them, they are so colourful and I am using lots of different childrens fabrics so that there are lots of different pictures, I have lots of different animal prints in really bright colours, Jude will have many happy hours finding different one's.

Kathleen and I popped out to do some food shopping today as it is a bank holiday here this weekend, we were utterly amazed at the amount of food people were buying anyone would think they were shopping for a month not one extra days holiday, we went today to save going on holiday Monday. The weather is of course not good, this is usual on Bank Holidays here it would'nt be the same if we did'nt have to go out with a mac and an umbrella.

I am sat in the summerhouse posting this and Tony is sat just outside and any minute now he is going to get wet because I can hear thunder in the distance and there is a very black cloud right over his head, I really do not feel like cooking dinner tonight, I would love someone to present me ith a lovely meal as a surprise but I don't think that is going to happen, Oh Well! have a great weekend everyone.

Proud Grandad

Here is Jude sat on his Grandads Landrover, he really loved it and his Grandad was so proud of him, what happens when you become Grandparents? we have become so wrapped up in this little chap he gives us so much pleasure and he is becoming a real little character, we are babysitting tomorrow, can't wait.
