THESE ARE GREAT!

I have got a new pen, a gluepen by sewline. They are so nice to use when glueing my candied hexagons. Nice and smooth and no sticky mess over your hands! My sister Pam bought it for me after her trip here last month. you get a refill with it , so you don't run out . I don't know if you can get them here (nz), she got it in oz. I have been making a few of the hexagons but not a lot at the moment. i've done about 16 I think, some are not stitched yet but will be on the weekend. I like how they are turning out . I've seen a few of other ladies ones who have been fussy cutting some, they look really neat.! I think I might do a few too, to add some more interest in the quilt. As you can see these ones are not stitched yet.

I HELPED TO FINISH THIS!

MY sister pam made this quilt for my mum but didn't quite get the binding sewed down so I finished off doing that part for her. I just hope she uses it and does't just look at it! She is so old fashioned about stuff! This pic does not do it justice as there is too much sun in the pic.
MY NEW BABIES.

Well while we were away in the school holidays we got 2 new babies. They are for my boys from my mum. This was instead of chocolate for easter. The ginger one is called "Hurley" the tabby one was called "fluffy",.... but now he is called "ozzy". They are boys.(brothers) about 8 weeks old. Very cute and cuddly. Qne is very fluffy the other short coat. They are yet to meet our dog .... maybe on the weekend as I have been waiting for them to get more use to being handled as they lived outside at her place and hadn't had much to do with people but are so much better now.
