Week 4 to 7 - Catching up!

Since my last post things around here went rather pear shaped ... everyone was sick for a while yet & Ben at 9 weeks of age was admitted into the Children's hospital twice! argghh ... With everyone now healthy & all concerns put to rest, I'm catching up!! ... And my crafty time catch up was over the Easter/Anzac extra long weekend and a special thanks to the awesome ladies at LSBS, there were 5 cool challenges to inspire us & I surprised myself and got them all done!! ... I give myself a big tick on 4 weeks caught up ... I here are my creations:

Challenge 1 - Hearts ...

Challenge 2 - Spades ...

Challenge 3 - Diamonds ...

Challenge 4 - Clubs ...

Bonus Challenge - The Joker ...

Week 3 - Ben's Birth Announcements

Well it's the back end of Week 3 of my challenge and I figure this blog entry is better late than never! With much of the family struck down by a nasty case of the flu, it's been rather busy at home. However, I have tried to catch a few minutes here & there to stop and work some Birth Announcements which I began making when I was still pregnant and on bedrest. They aren't all finished and posted but hoping that will be done this week ... it's good to have goals they say :-) It's my birthday weekend and with the recent sickness and dealing with an 8 week old baby there hasn't been too much celebrating ... I plan on making up for it tonight by spending time towards finishing them!
