I've been off work since Wednesday what with the school holidays and don't seem to have sat down! Thursday I was supposed to have a nice sewing day while the spouse and Chook went to the local cinema to see "Gulliver's Travels" (only 95p entry at the 10 o'clock kids am showing) but I ended up walking up to the shops after my car wouldn't start and I needed some stuff. Proper needed. Not like fabric needs. *g* That pair arrived home with a KFC for lunch, though, so it wasn't all bad. Friday was cleaning and visiting this little old lady.
Yep, my Beloved Wee Granny turned 88 so we took her booze, chocolates and some DVD's. And I made her this.
It matches her
Not Pushing Up Daisies, Yet! quilt from her last birthday. She was looking great, I have to say.
And then Saturday. Well, firstly there was some difficult getting ready after the spouse's "wee job" helping out at his work on Friday night turned into an all-nighter and he didn't arrive home until 7am Saturday. Lots of tippy-toeing about and blow-drying of hair in rooms with no mirrors so as not to wake him. Not easy! Anyhoos, we managed and got Chookie all ready for her riding lesson in her new *clears throat* PINK JODHPUR BOOTS! Oh, yes, look at this.
It's Saturday stable-girl Barbie! Where did I get this creature of the pink from, eh? Takes after her Dad, I reckon. *nods sagely*
And
then I was off to Linlithgow for drooling, chatting, eating, sewing, shopping and the definite beginnings of a new obsession. Or two. More on that tomorrow.
wow, a two-part weekend - you tease! I will get Jonathan 2 email that photo he took of us for your next bit.
ReplyDeleteWowser...what a great photo of granny and the Chook...that's a framer!:) Hope I look half that good when I'm that age!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat job on her pillow and ther is nothing wrong with pink...come on...even you would look good in those boots!:)

Lovely pics and cute cushion!
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a 'pretty' pink gal but I must say that my two most favourite pairs of boots ever have been bright pink - go Chook!
Yet another new obsession? What's that then, hun? And at LINLITHGOW???? TELL ME MORE!! :D
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of pink! Please tell me you're searching for a pink saddle!
ReplyDeleteAhhahaha...not pushing up daises yet...sounds like my kind of family humor.
ReplyDeleteThat whole pink outfit is hysterical. I just know if I ever have a girl that's what I'm going to get--the complete opposite of me. :)
Happy birthday to your Granny (I'm sorry I'm rather late with the birthday greetings)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of her and Chook.
Your Grannie is quite something. she looks brilliant for her age.
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm very relieved Islay can't see Chook's riding gear.......what she doesn't know about(how long can I keep it like that?!)! Juliex
