Slow Sunday Stitching and the GATSBY 21st

Yes we did have a good time at the party. We are all dressed up and looked the part.

Here are the awesome foursome.

DH, me, 21st Alicia and our dear daughter Kristy.

At least we could smile even though we had some tears. Read about the story HERE and to see a photo of her quilt I made...

After last nights Great Gatsby 21st party and a slow start to the day I went and helped my daughter put up some curtains.  Then back home for some slow stitching, a movie, a bit of tv, dinner and some games. I am working on some more HEXIES for a block raffle at Heathcote Quilters.

I am linking up with

Kathy has asked us to put up a photo with our hand in it. Boy was it hard trying to take a photo with the opposite hand.

Now to catch up on a photo for last weeks post. This is the little babies jumper I knitted for her little girl to soon be born. My daughters friend is due in 2  days.

Have a look HERE to see my other gift and mum to be.

No Slow Stitching today, I was at a baby shower

Today I went to a very special girls BABY SHOWER.

My daughter has a very close friend who has been there for her so many times. My daughter was her bridesmaid and now is beside her now that she is about to give birth to a beautiful daughter, or so we are told...... Today there was a gathering of close friends to celebrate the expected arrival of a baby..

Isn't she glowing.... And due in only 9 days...

There were beautiful cupcakes too.

And of course a special balloon to show the hubby.

Mother and daughter together.

And for all you GISBORNE QUILTERS... I'm sure you share with the grandma to be all the joy.

Look at that smile... A proud grandma...

And now for a gift I made.

I rolled up 3 pairs of socks, 2 singlets and 2 bodysuits to make this beautiful bouquet.

Not many people have seen this idea. It is so sweet.

The clothes went from this.

To this...

I also knitted a gorgeous little jacket but I forgot to take a photo.

 I am waiting for a photo to be sent to me and then I will post it...

Have a look HERE for it.

This is what I finished early on Sunday morning. 

So my slow stitching Sunday was actually knitting.
