Oh what a week it's been. So many smiles and lots of Grandparent duties too so I'm sharing just a few with you now...
I didn't manage to take any photos on the day but have pinched this from one of the other bloggers. Saturday was spent in a hall with all these wonderful blogging friends. It was just magical. We chatted, laughed, ate cake, celebrated 10 wonderful years of friendship with a special cake and Prosecco and it was all over far too quickly.....but we are now hoping to do the same again next year if they want us to. Most of the girls I'd met before but there were a few that I'd known for years but had not met before so that was very special.....and Catriona had even brought Harris bear with her in his kilt that I had made earlier in the year. The wonderful banner was made by our daughter Amy and her hubby Dave so many thanks to them for that.
I came home with orders for three bears....this one for Anne Williams [Copper beech]
....and these two for Carolyn Staton.
I love making my Memory bears but its made all so much more special when I'm making them for special blogging friends.
My Tuesday fun day was spent with this little man. He enjoyed special time with his Grandad and we then went for a ride on the Llangollen steam train....the last photo tells you just how much he'd enjoyed it....I love a sleeping baby.
Whilst out with Theo Shell rang to say could we pick the twins up for her from the childminder, take them home, bath them and put them to bed for her because her school had just been notified that the following day they had OFSTED coming!!....my heart went out to her because these people turn over every stone in schools like Shell works in. There are many troubled children in her school and yet OFSTED expect them all to reach the same milestones....and it just isn't possible!
Wednesday saw Phoebe going away with her school to Condover adventure centre for a 2 night residential trip. She was a little nervous to go but it sounds like the days have been filled to the brim with wonderful activities so I'm sure she will have enjoyed it.
That's all from me for this week. I'm very busy with sewing because I have bridesmaids dresses to do this week on top of my bears etc. I hope you're all having a wonderful time with days filled with smiles and you will share them with us by linking them up below.
Hugs,
