Out & About

We have been out of the social loop for two weeks, but now Lucille is back to her best and I have caught up with the basket loads of washing it is time to have some fun - library, bakery and bumping into Postman Pat (one of our favourite ABC characters, along with Angelina Ballerina, Benjamin Bear & Olivia & Playschool: too much T.V time of late).

Winter

Lots of crafting for L & B while Audrey and I enjoy many cups of tea. I consider myself a crafty type, I enjoy making toilet roll binoculars, bedroom cubby houses & cut out dolls, but after many consecutive days of rain & craft, also confined to home (Lucille unwell) I am all crafted out.

Homebodies

Amongst the craft & hibernation I have taken lots of great photos of my Audrey growing up. Here is Audrey having her measurements taken - health centre imaginary play.

Collecting

I love collecting anything old, antique & quirky. Recently, Kate's neighbour, Rosemary kindly gave me a large range of vintage buttons. Last week, I bought another antique child's bed from an op shop. In time, I will need a bigger house or the fibro beach cottage that I dream about. I am looking forward to going op shopping without children in tow so I can have a thorough look & hopefully find some buried treasure. I haven't had much luck lately, the girls have been high maintenance, and we have only bought lame bric-a-brac that Lucille couldn't live without. Has anyone found any hidden gems at op shops lately, or anything interesting on Ebay? I often find lovely light fittings on Ebay (vintage & art deco) but I have no need for them.

Lovely Audrey

Audrey May Graham : 4 months old.

Her chubby thighs have the cutest creases and dimples. She squeals with laughter when we undress her for bath time. She gets lots of bumps & knocks from the older girls, but is very brave. Her favourite book is 'Whe are going on a Bear Hunt'. We can't imagine life without Audrey.
