This week has been a busy week for birthdays, and not so much sewing. Mr 17 turned 18 and Mr 15 turned 16. I am wondering where on earth all those years have gone. I am so proud of the wonderful young men they are becoming. That's Mr almost 14 on the left, and my dear Mr Thimblestitch on the right.
It's the first day of autumn, but the weather is still summery. Too hot for quilting, so working on my baby clamshells and some cross stitch.

Very handsome young men Susan,you have every right to feel very proud of them all. Happy birthday to the both of them :) Barb.
ReplyDeleteLovely family shot. You do wonder how quickly the years fly by as your children bet older, but you don't feel any older. Well not much older anyway. Your baby clamshells are very sweet. And wow, you have got so much of your cross stitch done amongst all the family celebrations.
ReplyDeleteSuch handsome boys they are Susan. Yes the years do go by so quickly you wonder where it has gone. Love your cute clamshells
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous group of young men I can see why you are so proud ....well done to both of you xx

ReplyDeleteLovely birthday pic... Susan your stitching is great... the cross stitch design looks amazing, will you frame it?
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday guys, hope the cake was nice! Love the blue cross stitch. The clam shells look tiny, but are progressing well.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to the boys. What a lovely family photo, Susan. Your clam shells are looking great, as is your cross stitch.
ReplyDeleteWonderful looking boys - as are you and Mr. Thimblestitch! A great photo which will only grow more dear in the years ahead. In our own family I wonder where the years have flown with our son being 38. And my Dad wonders where the years have flown with a 71 year old daughter:-)
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing your lovely clamshells, I get the bug to do more myself. They are so fun. Look forward to seeing where yours are headed.
