Rosie is currently covered in carrot puree. This weaning is great fun!!! Gram gets to clean up, of course :) It's so good to have them here for a couple of days again as I have been feeling so very low these past two days. I have Kate from the Last Homely House on in the background, and if Rosie is in the room, you can always tell when Rita or one of Kate's other cats has walked into shot as Rosie squawks what sounds like 'at' which isn't actually short for cat as it's the excited noise she always makes if it's something she likes. Photo of below is Rosie with toast and avocado a couple of weeks ago. She quite likes avocado and loves toast.
I spent an hour with the stitch ripper on Gabby's quilt last night, went up this morning, ironed the block out that needed resewing, and carefully sewed it back in place . . . . the wrong way round. I'm afraid I gave up on it for the morning as it just upset me. It's a result of being low in spirits. Oh how I miss my sewing group. If it wasn't 100 mile round trip I would be going there every week.
Gabby is here tomorrow, and on Thursday morning we're meeting up with an American friend of Tam's and her little girl, who's about half Rosie's age. We're going to have a wander round the garden centre and a cup of tea and a piece of cake. That's something to look forward to. I will get just a few bulbs and a new Christmas decoration (which is what I do every year).
We popped into the PO in town earlier, and then had a wander round the Red Cross charity shop, and I succumbed to a 500 piece jigsaw (Summer Cottage) - I will probably be able to start that in about a year's time if progress on the 1,000 piece jigsaw doesn't speed up!
Right, the beeper has just announced tea is ready, so I shall away.
Enjoy your time with that gorgeous little one. I hope you get feeling a little less blue very soon.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Babies are a wonderful distraction, aren't they? I always used an old shower curtain under their high chairs when they were first eating solid food. They made such a mess. It amazes me that my youngest granddaughter is a very careful eater and drinker. She doesn't make much mess at all. Of course, she's 2 now, and they have a dog, which helps a great deal! She is a beautiful baby!
ReplyDeleteLovely to have family around and hope you soon get to the other side of the low glitch.
ReplyDeleteKeep on Keeping on.
So lovely for you to have time with family.

I'm so sorry to hear you're feeling low.
ReplyDeleteGrief comes in waves and can take different forms.
If you have worries and sadness unrelated to your grief it can be very hard to rise above it when you're already feeling vulnerable.
I hope tomorrow will feel a little better than today. xx
Rosie can't help but cheer you up! You sound more positive today. I've had a catch up of your last couple of posts. I hope things settle a little. You've had so much stress to deal with . Relax and enjoy that cute granddaughter of yours!
