Gosh, it's two months since I started 4 on Friday - only another eight to go ...
This week's experimenting with four simple photo/journalling spaces and a title has, as its subject, a new member of our household - and to whom I'd like to introduce you. But first (drum roll, please!), a warm welcome for his creator, Amanda, whose inventiveness and skill with a needle knows no bounds. Recently, Amanda offered to give away a very special creation, and I was thrilled to be the lucky one on the receiving end. Yesterday, there was a parcel to be opened, a little fellow unfolded, followed by a getting-to-know-you time, and a tour of my craftroom. So, without further ado, let me proudly present ...
I am hoping that he and I will become firm friends, even if I am stitch-challenged and a little lacking in the knitting department. :)
Tomorrow, we have Big One and Little One arriving from Europe for a few days, as it is Himself's big annual family reunion, and our delightful DD and DF are travelling up to stay too. Did I mention we're hosting? So that thirty-odd for a beanfeast, and no cooker... Hoping you have a lovely weekend!
(Journalling, in case it's too small to read above: "Hi Amanda! Just to let you know I got here safely, though the letter-box thingy was quite a squeeze! Having an explore, and getting to know ‘the girls’. Bit of a wistful moment when she brought up your blog, but am settling in. She lets me read her mags though they’re rather old! D’you know what? I don’t think she knows about sewing! Thank-you for everything, Rab xxx".)
Fabulous! How nice to get such lovely surprises in the mail. Have a wonderful reunion, and enjoy the family time!

p.s: I think he's settling in already, and why wouldn't he?

Well doesn't he look at home, very cosy with the 'girls' :) I love the postcard, the bunny ear 'Ls', the co-ordinating green spots, everything about your layout in fact.
Enjoy your new home Rab it was a pleasure creating you x

What a lovely bunny! The scrap page made me laugh and I love the story to go with it!
Have a great weekend - despite the "no cooker" challenge.. well, there's always take-aways! Or with that many guests, maybe it would be cheaper to go & buy an "emergency microwave" and food you can cook inside it!
