There has been a lot of playing in this house... and not much of this sitting quietly for a picture
these two little boys kept me very happily busy
Nana - nap was redefined..... who is the nap for anyway?
the swing chair was the best nana investment EVER....
Today the house is very quiet and empty....
This is a finish I have had for a little while to share for One Christmas Item per month at Narelles - there is heaps of inspiration on her page HERE
This is a block by Lynette Anderson - it was part of a larger quilt and I was gifted this block which I have made into a candle-mat.... I started it some time ago so it is also a finished UFO....
I think I managed to crochet the edge of one fusion blanket square over the last 5 days... good going with a full house
Righto - Gotto Go... space to clean so I can get my sewing things out again!!
(I have to fill my empty nest syndrome with something?)
How lovely to have your house filled with little ones for a few days. Hopefully you can get to visit them in Carins.

yes the house does feel empty and very quiet when they all leave ... but then normality seems to return after a short while and life begins all over again ... but still there is always something missing ... the sweet sounds of little people ...
ReplyDeletei miss mine terribly ... big hugs for you xxx
Your angel block is lovely Fiona. Enjoy your peace and quiet!
ReplyDeleteSuch precious little boys. Isn't napping with a baby the best way? Enjoy your peace, I'm sure they will be back for more of their Nanna.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely photo on the swing, did Nana nap too?
ReplyDeleteThere's nothing like a nap on Nana's lap :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful candle mat and love the pink binding.
that is just the perfect place to nap :o)
ReplyDeleteLove your angel block. I hate the first week when people have left, the house seems so empty, but then I get use to the peace again and start looking forward to the next visit..... Hugs
ReplyDeleteI love seeing these photos. What a wonderful time! So many great cuddles.
ReplyDeleteYour candle mat looks lovely!
Back to peace and quiet again......until next time!
ReplyDeletethey are such gorgeous little boys. Hope you had lots of lovey time with them.
ReplyDeleteYour candle mat finish looks great! well done.
Your grandchildren are simply precious and I know you enjoyed having them there . Your little candle mat is sweet , great finish!hugs Sheila
ReplyDeleteYour wee grandsons are so gorgeous...
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel when they go. I always feel sad and get very busy cleaning etc..
Your little candle mat is sweet.
I am sure there is nothing better than a house full of grandies....so worth having to put all of your sewing things away, right? Both of the boys are just as cute as can be and I'm so happy that you had those few days with them (which I'm sure passed all too quickly!).
ReplyDeleteLove the little candle block...that is precious!
XOXO,
Cyndi
I love the photo on the swing. What a precious moment!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous candle mat. I am also looking forward to a reasonable quiet week for a change lol. No one home sick and not such a busy week with work to do other than stitching lol.
ReplyDeleteAww looks like you had a wonderful time!! Your grandsons look soo happy!! Countdown to the next visit!!
ReplyDeletehow cute are the little ones.....
ReplyDeletelove your Angel quilt.....just gorgeous
Lovely pic of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteI bet the house gets quiet once they are gone... but we are still here waiting to see what creativeness you show us! :)
Hope your sewing space is back in action - it helps fill the quietness left when the children leave.
ReplyDeleteThe block is perfect as a candlemat.
Enjoy sewing or hooking up a storm.
Would you look at those precious faces - Fiona they are darling!!! Your candle mat turned out very sweet!
ReplyDeleteOh Fiona what beautiful little munchins you have there,love the one of you on the garden swing,enjoy those precious bundles of joy my friend.xx
ReplyDeleteawww such sweeties :) And love your candle mat too!
ReplyDeletelv,
Joy
What cuties Fiona. I love the photo in the swing. I bet you are missing them. Lovely sewing as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on finishing your UFO. You seemed to have had your hands full. THey are precious.
ReplyDeleteOh my, you have been busy keeping up with the little ones. A very pretty candle mat, it has a lovely peaceful look about it.
ReplyDeleteLovely quilting on the mat...was that all free hand or did you stencil it....I think I'd have been better off doing the free motion quilting on my latest project as it has some puckers and uneven stitches and I'm ever so disappointed in it....
ReplyDeleteNice to have visiting wee ones but having the quiet house is a blessing too once they're gone. You're lucky to have wee ones to cuddle...
Mama Bear
Cute pictures of the little ones, and your blanket looks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.
That is such a cute photo of you with your grandson, aren't babies so cute when they are asleep! Love your little Christmas quilt too.
ReplyDeleteThe candle mat is so so gorgeous!
