Why I've not been sewing...much

Yesterday we christened our littlest baby boy. The lead up to it involved a LOT of cleaning the house and a LOT of cooking and baking. We only had family present plus a very few friends. The sermon was on hospitality so I felt like a real rotter that we had not invited everyone we knew, but the house being in the state it is we just could not have accommodated them.

(Amongst all this, I might have sneakily sewn a stitch here or there, I can't recall, but from tomorrow that sewing machine of mine will be back on duty!)

Here our lovely vicar baptises Toby



And here our lovely baby tries to pull off our lovely vicar's robes as they got in a bit of a tussle LOL



My South African family were really missed, but a great day was had by all.

Glad your day went well. The vicar certainly looked like he enjoyed it - lol ! Your Bag O Stuff quilt is brilliant - love it !

My Sarah did better than that - we didn't have her baptised until she was about 9 months old by which time she was ferociously teething and we have photos of her gnawing the side of the lovely cold stone font. Don't feel bad about not inviting everyone - heavens you've got so much on your plate with the work on the house don't beat your self up about it. Toby obviously thought the vicar was going to chuck him into the water head first by the way he's hanging onto the stole for grim death :o)

Congratulations! Of course he wouldn´t lay down like a baby, he was trying to raise himself up.
