A wonderful day

We had a wonderful day . Meaghan, Lewis, Mary and Albert came for a visit with the little girls Rose and Charlotte. It was fabulous. We had fish and chips for lunch and then the girls played. They were so much fun. They ran around, asked for uppies, ate cookies and crackers, played with dolls, pretended to sleep on the floor, used my quilts for their sleepovers. Oh my I had such a wonderful time and it appeared that girls did too. And here come the pictures LOL.
Charlotte the ballerina.

Charlotte and my Minnie Mouse doll that I bought in DIsneyland decades ago. She was taking a nap with the doll but she did not 
sleep. It looks so cute. Charlotte took the doll home. I hope she loves it. 
Rose with a handful of My Little Ponies which belong to Charlotte.
An invitation to dance. Is Charlotte listening to some inner music?
Let me be first haha.

Oh boy Grandma Nan  quackers  LOL.

At rest in my doll's rocking chair. It seems to be just the right size for my little girls.
And aren't their dresses beautiful. They love to dress up.

Time to move on.

This block is the favourite of my friend Gail in Arizona.  We call it the Friendship block but as many such blocks it has more than one name.

Another of these lovely patchwork hexagons blocks. Click on the Vintage tutorial up above the picture , there is a lot of other hexagons on this site. So pretty.





I love this tutorial for Herringbone blocks and eventually a table runner.

Nice!

And now the cleaning lady Lynn is here. I was surprised as it is Labour Day but then this is not a union shop.  We need her today to clean up the cracker crumbs.

Now what to say, it is all finished for the day. We are not doing anything and not going out.  
Pictures that is what I'll do now.

An older Singer , I like the looks of this one. Actually I do not know what age this one is, it could be newer than I thought.

A companion  in the rescue squad. This is very beautiful as it shows the emotion of the man .
Time to go despite the fact that it is just 3:12. 

Have a lovely rest of the day and evening.

Hi Grandma! Charlotte loves the Minnie doll. She grabbed her Mickey once she got home, and tucked both of them into our bed for a sleepover. It was a bit of a surprise when Lewis and I headed to bed later that night :)
