Weekend warming

A new week is here and what a big one for us!  My sister's wedding is this weekend so the focus is on getting everything ready, finished and packed for that. My bridesmaid dress has been picked up and I'm making the final touches to the flower girl dresses for Sarah and Alice. The trick is to not get lost in the bodice between the lining and satin - it's a real maze in there. I pinned the under arm on one side last night and had great difficulty getting to the pin again five minutes later! Can't show them off yet - will definitely post photos next week.

We have two of the aunties staying overnight this week, on separate nights, so the girls will love having some time with them. Sarah has lots of excitement with her 8th birthday falling on the wedding day. Eight sounds so grown up!

The weekend saw some considerably colder weather, with wind and some rain (though I would like some more), so we enjoyed some indoor activities. The box of musical instruments came out so the girls did some jamming with Daddy.

Here Ruby is a little bit upset. She came in from the dining room to request that the music making in the lounge room stop - 'It is too noisy for my piaaaaaanowww playing'. Hard to keep everyone happy!!

The twins and I cooked another banana cake together on Sunday afternoon and this time we took a photo before cutting in to it for afternoon tea. I posted the recipe last week so be sure to try it out.

Sarah worked on her patchwork cushion cover from last week. It's nearly finished - only some hand sewing left to do to close up the gap for turning it in the right way. She is managing the machine so well and needs (and wants) my help less and less. Will post a photo of the finished product soon.

All the best for a good start to the week!
