Catching up

I've just been catching up on some blog reading which ,

 if I'm honest, is not something I've done much of recently.

 I could make excuses and say  life seemed to take over  

but I think I just got out of the habit and I found other things to do.

 Having now started up again I had forgotten 

how much I enjoyed catching up on people who,

 after a while, one considers friends. Although

 I'm sorry to see that a lot of those who I followed as

 Dosie Rosie are no longer blogging

 but then everything  changes doesn't it.

One of the things that changed for me  last year was that 

I became a Granny for the first time. 

Oh what a joy that is.

This week I have made a memory bear for my daughter

with some of her favourite baby grows that 

little man has grown out of.

I have a list of other things to make so will start

trying to make my way through them soon as 

well as working my way through my 

City & Guilds.

Wish me luck.

Onwards and Upwards

Module one passed with flying colours thankfully, so now its on to Module 2.

One of the things I have to do here is look at historical patchwork designer/

makers. My initial reaction on reading this was one of panic, I didn't know

anyone but Google  is a wonderful thing. 

I found out that there is a Quilters Hall of fame so I am now reading 

about all sorts of very clever and influential ( in the field of patchwork ) ladies.

On another subject, meet the newest member of our family.

When Mr T and I said no more dogs, our daughter went and got Norton.

He is a Lakeland Terrier,  is 3 months old now and

of course she needs Mum and Dad to look after him on a regular basis.
