Oh my time sure does fly..... too fast

Speaking of Flying...he he

Hubby celebrated his 50th birthday last week

 and hence why I have been a bit quiet around here...

We had 30 guest including family over for a BBQ

 some family and friends travelled all the way from Victoria

to celebrate his BIG 50 with him....He was so pleased.

 Here he is below whispering sweet words to me for getting his present.

I had been saving like crazy to get him his dream present....

 DH had said for such a long time he wanted

 a flight in one of these.....HERE

 So that's what I bought him... something to remember his turning 50..

We are going on Saturday this week and he can't wait....

 He's like a little boy waiting impatiently for his day to fly..LOL

 walking around dreaming of the day..he he

ME...well I will keep my feet firmly planted on the ground Thanks.

 He was booked for the actual day of his Birthday but it

 got cancelled cos the plane was broken...

 It didn't give me much confidence in flying....but glad it's now fixed...

We had some gardening to get ready for the big 50 Party too...
 I don't  like weeds around the place trying to look pretty..

 So our DS Matthew, DH and I weeded and updated the mulch

  the week before the party.....

in the wretched hot weather...35 degrees plus each day..

 It looked fabulous and now with our trees growing madly

 I am happy with the garden... tiring work but so worth it.

 I did manage to plant a few annuals to look pretty 

for the girls and they love them..

 On the sewing front, I only managed to 

get a swap finished before we started gardening

 and nothing for the weeks before and one week after...

I needed to recover...lots of work to do for a home 'Party'

 I am having restaurant Party for my 50th

 that's a few years away though...LOL..

 Now to madly sew a block or two tonight...he he

 Yesterday I did sit and put the finishing touches on my 

Home Sweet Home block...now finished and sewn

Dear friend Jude stitched the doggy block for me...

 Thanks Jude...it will be forever special.

 Tonight I am sitting stitching this block...

A Giveaway happening real soon too...300 posts...woo hoo

 never thought I would get here...
