Greetings from Western New South Wales

Sorry about the long delay in posting - I have been at my daughter's in western New South Wales for just over a week now.  Our youngest daughter is here too, so all six grandchildren are together - a rare treat for Peter and me to enjoy.  


I have no minis to tell you about.  I did a mini bookcase with Kylie's two boys, Cameron and Luke (9 and 5) while waiting for Kirsten and the other four kidlets to arrive last Sunday but we haven't done anything else together yet.  We will be doing some mini books to go into them but it appears it will be after the other family leaves on Monday now, because they are all being very good keeping themselves well occupied and I have run out of ink for my printer at just the wrong time!  It is half an hour's drive into the nearest larger town where I can buy some more cartridges and I haven't had a chance to do that.


 I have done a little bit of mini petitpoint (for long-overdue gifts) in the evenings, but haven't been able to finalise them yet.  


So I thought I'd just let you know what is going on, and say 'hi' to you all!

      Things are busy and at times stressful between the children but that is quite normal with cousins lol. Generally they got along quite well and I enjoy being with my daughters of course. I even managed some 1:1 time with a couple of the children too, which was a real treat.

    I too was wondering if everything was ok with you and your family. Enjoy the time with your grand-children, they grow up so quickly.
    Take care for now,
    Vicki xx

      They surely do - seemingly in front of our eyes! The boys are getting so tall and the girls are growing into real little ladies. I really loved cooking with Grace (9) and helping her make a birthday card for her mother. Cameron (also 9) is making a card for his mum too, after seeing Grace's. I love this special bonding time doing things together.
