SUNDAY OF AN EXCITING WEEK

 

Yes the little prince arrived this week ! And he made sure he had a good one! My daughter called me very early Monday to say her waters had broken and she was having contractions. She'd sent for her mother in law, who lives an hour closer than us and was awaiting her arrival. I wished her well and went off to get dressed.

Well then I received another call from Son in law asking me to come, so I get Paul up and we are soon on our way! We are just over half way there when I get the call , he's arrived ! at home and delivered by his Dad aided by his other nan! So after checking all's well and they are off to be checked over in hospital, we turn round and head home. But for covid and the lockdown we'd have carryied on to see him.

So what a start to the week! He was finally named on Wednesday , Adam Benjamin.

Tuesday was quite an anticlimax after Monday's excitement! But we got on with the sorting out and decorating of the , what we are now calling, day room!



The Morris and Co, Seaweed wallpaper was put up! I am loving the burst of colour it's giving along with the painted walls. We also received a new ceiling light for this area which will match in well with the new lights over the table.

 


 

I have been making the lined curtains for the living room , which as reminded me just why I stopped making my own curtains long ago!

I have had to put them to oneside until the floors laid, due to how big they are and the time I had left before the kitchen table was put outside!

We are about to clear all the furniture etc to various places around the house, gazebo and my studio, so once this post is on, I'll not be back until next Sunday most likely.

There was, due to the above, no doll play this week although I do believe my Christmas doll is in the house!!! So that's a bonus! 

So I wish you all a good happy healthy week ahead.
