On the weekend

Once again, we had a busy weekend. Being part of a large families means lots of birthday celebrations (we had two parties this weekend). I had one of those annoying colds where you are not sick enough to go to bed but not well enough to be enthused by anything. I managed to get a moment to do some more quilting. Whilst I was behind the machine, this was happening around me.

My sister, Dineke, came to visit and worked on some handquilting.

Louis sat with us and made paper people.

There's nothing nicer than having company whilst you sew :)

cheers

It's nice to have company when you aren't feeling well, you get some sympathy and it helps take your mind off how you are feeling.
take care

years and years ago (before I was married) my sister and her husband and kids would spend Sunday's at my mom's with us and we (my mom, sister, and I) would work on quilting or cross stitch all afternoon. I miss those days. I hope you are feeling better. :o)

What a lovely way to spend time with your family. Get well quick.
You have inspired me to set aside some time to commune with my lot in a more pleasant setting like yours. I might get out the scrapbooking kit this weekend as a family project. Cheers!
