This morning, while Alice was having a nap, I finished another block to add to my growing pile.  I pulled them all out to count them and see how many more I still need.  There are 41 blocks in that pile which means I only have another 7 to make before I start joining them all together.  I can't wait for this quilt to be finished  and this is (another) one I won't be giving away.

Today was our Silver Wedding Anniversary - 25 years of marriage.  I know Jon gets fed up with me saying this, but it makes me feel quite old!  I remember my parents Silver Wedding and their friends' Silver Weddings and it makes me wonder how we're there already! Doesn't time fly!

It's been a busy day for Jon as he prepares to fly to Sweden tomorrow morning on business. We did, however, manage to go out for dinner with Hugh and Emily, my parents and my sister, Kay.  We had a lovely meal and enjoyed the company. Jon's message in my card was about looking forward to the next 25 years together and I've no doubt when 50 years comes round I'll still be wondering how we got to be this old - lol!

A Month In Photos - January 2012

This morning, as I was reading some blogs, I saw Karen's Month in Photos post which reminded me that this is one project I want to do this year.  Rebecca Cooper at Simple As That offered a template for the monthly photos which I had downloaded at the time but I hadn't got round to completing my January page until now. 

I love that it's so simple to load your photos into it and you have a little summary of your month.

Emily and Young - Korean lessons after school 

Mum's nosebleed at the Doctors (still makes me chuckle when I see this photo!) 

Baking cupcakes with Alice 

Mini photoshoot with Lily 

Picking up Hugh from work 

New double glazing put in 

Michelle's visit and Claire & Alice's chance to meet their new niece/cousin.

I'm linking up with Simple As That Month in Photos.  Is anyone else going to join in too?

We've had a really quiet day today. The snow is still lying on the ground, though the roads are now clear. Craig dropped Claire and Alice off early this morning and Claire walked to work from here.  Emily had been hoping they may have a Snow Day but checking her computer first thing this morning, that wasn't the case. Come this evening, however, I realised I hadn't actually taken any photos so I was grateful to get this shot of Emily working on her textiles homework (though actually looking at me was out of the question ;o) ).
