WOYWW...

It's been a week of restless nights and lots of work for me.  My 'to do' rail is still full and as yet I've only managed one little African girl's dress this week.  Most night's M starts contracting after tea and has got them down to every 3 minutes before yet again they ease off and she manages a restless night's sleep.  This means the rest of us as you can imagine are waiting for a phone call 24/7.  These little twinnies really are playing games with us all aren't they?

So? What is on my desk today?

My 'to do' rail has....

• 5 dresses, all needing altering
• 1 pair jeans needing shortening
• a really nice pair white trousers that need shortening [or was it the owner of the trousers that was really nice?  :-) ]
• a top that needs repairs

Looks like another busy day for me doesn't it?

My box that I keep the cut out little dresses is now full to overflowing.  Twiglet and I keep cutting out dresses from all the lovely material we've got to play with and bagging them up into dress packs.....then she has taken lots of them home with her cos just lately she has been the only one with any spare time to make them.  I am desperate to delve into my box full to run a few up but something always seems to get in the way.  No rush....they will get made and little African girls will always need dresses wont they?

This is the only little dress I've managed to make this week.  It's number 68 for me and I've made it with a lovely yellow pillow case Elizabeth send me.  I've prettied it up with some of the lovely material Sarah bought for us from Holland.  I'm sure this will make one very lucky little girl smile.

I snapped this pic on Saturday and thought you'd like to see that even Boots is setting up their offers just for us....buy 2 packs of nappies get 1 free......just perfect for Grandparents expecting 3 new grandchildren within the next 5 weeks eh?

M will defiantly be having the twinnies within the next 3 weeks cos they are inducing her at 38 weeks and A should have her little boy in about 5 weeks.....ooer it makes me all excited just thinking about it  :-)  I can't wait.

My last pic is one of our yummy fresh tomatoes just picked....red ones, green ones and orange ones....all warm and sweet and tasting like nothing you buy in the shops......Please help yourself and enjoy one with your lunch today.

Thanks for dropping in.  Please leave me a message before you pop over to visit Julia and all the other WOYWWers.  Have a great week.

Pleased to see me?...

...well! Me thinks maybe this tomato was pleased to see me :-) What fun is coming out of my garden at the mo.
If only all was as lovely. We have sooooo many wasps about this year and I'm really not pleased to see them. I don't like them and am afraid to say I am a flapper in their company even though I know it's best not to. I have already filled one wasp jar and have now put up a fresh one.
It's an old traditional way of catching wasps but it's cheap and really works. It's just a used jam jar with a little left in the bottom and the sides left sticky. You then half fill it with hot water so the water becomes coloured with the jam. Put the lid on and make a wasp sized hole in the top so the wasps can get in. Put it far enough from the house to attract the wasps away and hey presto..... wasp soup...yuck! They seem to get in but are unable to get out and end up drowned.

Love from the garden...

Just thought you might like to see the love that flows in from our greenhouse. If you feed and water your tomato plants yours might give a little love back to you too. :-)
