Today I made some girly cupcakes for a birthday in Young Womens tomorrow. Don’t they remind you of faries and castles?

Make It Perfect
Yep, its finally raining. We have had a beautiful heavy downpour this evening so far, I actually forgot what rain felt like until I had to pick up my Nan to take her to a baby shower this evening and we ran (well, hobbled) through the rain to get into the car…it was wonderful! Lets hope that it lasts for at least the weekend because we really need it.
Went to a baby shower for Louise Triffitt tonight. Had a lovely time helping her get ready for the arrival of their little boy, was nice to catch up with friends also and have a bit of kid-free time! I made this quilt for Louise a few weeks ago and gave it to her tonight. They live on a farm, hence the chicken theme!
I had such a lovely lazy day today at home with Oscar. The only housework I did was a load of washing (which is on the line getting nice and wet now – can’t complain!) and for the rest of the day I did sewing and cooking and managed to squeeze in a nap aswell. I finished off this little bag for Oscar for Sundays to take special toys and things to church in. Whenever I am shopping I keep my eyes open for cheap little random bits and pieces that I hope may keep him entertained for as much of Sacrament Meeting as possible!! When we were in Melbourne last Nanna helped us get started on the collection. Lets hope it works! Stickers have been a hit lately so I have been reserving those for church.
And this is me tonight at 22 weeks…only 18 to go and I have so much to do!!! Don’t come too quickly little baby!
Last night for Young Womens Filipa came along as our artist in residence and helped the girls out with creating paintings on canvas…I got so into it – I haven’t painted anything since year 12 and think I am hooked now! This is my masterpiece, I was so excited that I even brought it home to finish it. Hmmm…what to paint next…
This is our good friend Jacob (Cob). We saw him off at the airport on Saturday when he left for his mission to Auckland, New Zealand. He is off to Sydney for a few days to spend with his family and go through the temple and then on Thursday he leaves for the NZ MTC.
It seemed to be a day for retarded face photos. This photo of Jaron made Filipa and I laugh so hard and now everything is funny. I don’t think it is actually as bad as we are laughing, but once we started we couldn’t stop!
Jarom looking good…
Hmmm…are you okay Emily??
Okay, so perhaps Jacob had taken a couple too many sleeping pills the night before!! You gotta lay off those now buddy! All the best and have fun eating taro and having lots of hungis!!! We’ll see you in 2 years when you get FAT!
I thought to myself this morning that its probably time to start doing some art and craft activities with Oscar, so after lunch today we got the paints and paint brushes out and tried our hands at painting. I was sure that Oscar would be past the wanting to eat the paint stage…but he’s not! Needless to say, the paper didn’t get much paint, but his mouth and body did – hope the paints aren’t poisonous!!!
Trying to make something grow in our drought-stricken country!!! Good luck! One day we might have a lovely garden.
The masterpieces on display…I’ve never hung a piece of art work on our fridge before…the start of things to come.
