Louis - again

These photos were taken just after Louis was born. The top left hand one was taken my his Dad on his mobile phone and it was the first photo was saw of Louis.

The embellishments used to decorate the page were a card kit which I had bought at a papercraft show.

Little Mother

Well I did not manage to do a blog every Sunday. Last Sunday I was at a quilting workshop and I have spent all this weekend picking over 15lb of blackcurrants, so blogging has taken a back seat. I promise to try harder in future.

Emily is totally besotted with Louis. These photos were taken when Louis was only a couple of weeks old. She could not wait to hold him.

I love this photo of both their hands.

Obviously Louis feels quite safe with Emily nursing him!

Hello Louis

I cannot beleive it is so long since I did any scrapbooking and did my last blog, but what with holidays and family committments, time just seems to fly by. Anyway, these are the two pages I have just finished for my new grandson Louis.



The blue ribbon down the left hand side of this page says "It's a Boy".

He is a real cutie. I cannot believe is over four months old already. He seems to change every time I see him. Now I have got back into scrapbooking and blogging I am now going to try and update my blog each Sunday.

Quilt Time workshop

Finally finished a small quilt I started at a Quilt Time workshop last summer. Things just seem to take longer these days. Anyway the workshop was run by Penny Walsh and we had the choice of making five different designs of small quilts, all in the American tradition.

This pattern is called Jacob's Ladder and is a pattern I have been intending to make up for years but never got round to, so this was the ideal opportunity. I also liked the colour pallette, using old looking fabrics.

Hopefully this will be the start of completing some of my UFO's.

Meet Louis

Meet my new grandson, Louis, born on the 9th February, 2011 at 7.14 p.m., weighing in at 6 lbs. 15 ozs.


Unfortunatly he was born on a Wednesday, and "Wednesday's child is full of woe" seems very appropriate for this photograph.


Both his mummy and daddy are very proud of him ...............



.......... and Grandma is making sure she gets lots of cuddles.

Back to basics

It is long time since I did any knitting, but when Emily was given a new doll by her Uncle David and Aunty Aimee at Xmas, I had to start knitting clothes for her. My good friend Kath loaned me some of her patterns, and Emily decided Lucy would look good in this outfit.


Both Emily and Lucy loved the outfit. In fact Lucy does not want to take the clothes off.

Back to Blogging

It's months since I last blogged - thanks to my camera breaking down, and my grandchildren keeping me busy. Anyway I am back now and hope to blog regularly.

This is a book I made for Katie who was 1 year old in August.

Each page is a little bit longer than the last, thus giving more room for photos and journalling as she gets older and bigger.

This is the first page giving details of her birth and a photo taken by her dad just after she was born.

Each page has labels on it which show her achievements for each month.

Hope you like it.
