Healing Hugs at Semaphore Adelaide

My beautiful niece and my nephew's long-time girlfriend feature in this cute healing hugs video. Rachel is the one in purple near the beginning.

Gorgeous, gorgeous brights. I think I bought the most colour-dense, vibrant fabrics I could find.

New quilt

Here's the quilt that has caught my eye. I've had it bookmarked for a couple of years and today is the day to start.

Brights

I bought a new stack of brights today. I'm about to start on a Freddy Moran/ Gwen Marston-inspired star quilt.

Ben's note

Ben wrote an 'anonymous' note yesterday, put it our letterbox and waited for someone to find it and be as surprised as the rest of us.

It's all about finding blood under the trampoline where the guinea pigs used to be. It was part of the dream he had a couple of nights ago.

Our two spoilt guinea pigs roam free under our super sized trampoline. We don't mod the lawn and the spend their days munching and lying in the sun.

Tall

Ben is thrilled. He's finally taller than grannie.

Adelaide

Andrew has been chosen to go to Adelaide to represent his school in ice hockey. I'm so proud, he only started it this year.

And what's more - he was up against kids in years 10 and 11 and was selected for the first division.

He's so very low key about the whole thing, but I know he's excited to be going and it'll be such a great opportunity.
