Maggie's First Birthday 20th May
It was more than a month ago, so I've been really slack with my blogging!
Nancy with Banjo, Nic with Maggie, Graeme with Fran.
Plenty of more happy snaps here
Fran and Catriona in the winter sun
Catriona may not quilt (yet) but at least she's into textiles, so there's hope for my stash yet!
Graeme and I visited Dorje Ling at Lorinna to see Rob and Catriona today. A lovely tranquil area with a small glint of Lake Cethana coming through the trees and with the cottage facing a northerly aspect, it picks up most of the winter sun.
Catriona's crocheting a square and I'm doing a binding on an ABC quilt. That's the backing you can see, elephants in "ABC" poses. I will show the front when it's finished. I can't show anything else completed yet as I am making "stuff" for our quilting retreat early August.

Framed- Miss Maggie
Here she is, 4 weeks old in her "play-Gym".
The development in just the week we were there is amazing, from a floppy neck/head to being able to turn it from side to side!

Welcome to Maggie Lucia Williams
I have a granddaughter!
Maggie Lucia Williams, born 11.24PM, 20 May 2008
After 2 sons and one grandson I can finally buy "things pretty and pink", it's so exciting!
I will even make her a girlie quilt one day!
I'm a bit late posting this but I've been to Perth WA to our annual SCQuilter's retreat plus a few extra days tacked onto each end.

Mothers Day
A Mother's Day without children means that their father has to do the spoiling! Nothing new here of course, they have been living away from home for a long time.
I was rather spoilt though being taken to Stillwater for breakfast and then had a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered to me there from Nic, Nancy and Banjo. Thanks very much!
We drive past Stillwater at least twice a day as it's on our route to town and only 500 metres down the hill from home.
The rest of the day will be spent in relaxing pursuits - sewing, reading and leftovers for tea!

Goodbye Rob
My darling #2 son has left home in Tasmania and will soon be in Thailand and India for goodness knows how long!
It's not the first time he's travelled overseas and he's been back for 4 years. But he is the only child who lived within a few hours drive. The other, Nic lives within a few hours flying and then another hour's drive.
Rob , unlike Nic when he lived in India, will not live in a nice house with a maid and driver. I can't see us visiting this time! :-(
We'll see of course.
Safe travelling dear heart.
Below is a photo of Rob with my dad, who will be 87 in June.
