Sorry but no pics, we were too busy chatting.
I started a cover for my work diary and finished it on Sunday. It was inspired my Marg Low's gorgeous journal covers.

I also put the finishing touches on another little sewing bag.JPG)

and I have to mention "Happy Birthday" to my DS who turned 13 recently. I organised a surprise birthday party and a sleepover with 5 of his friends. They had a great time playing basketball, throwing water bombs and playing computer games. It was a long 24 hours for me with lots of food preparation and cleaning up but it was worth the look on his face when we all yelled out "SURPRISE!".JPG)

So he's now a teen, a 6 foot tall one too, he's taller than me now so apart from my dog, Lucy, I'm now known as the short one :-(
They grow up too fast, enjoy every minute of them while they're babies.
One thing I do love is that I still get cuddles :-)

Two gorgeous finishes, Jo! :-)
Happy birthday to your DS, sounds like he had a great time at his surprise party! Water bombs... oh yeah... bring it on!! :-) When my DS was younger and we lived in a two-storey house in England it has been known that we'd pop a water bomb out of the upstairs window when DH was in the garden standing beneath! What fun! ... well, DS and I thought so anyway!
I'm rambling! Much love to you darling!

Hi Jo, was a bit worried when i clicked onto you page. I wondered who's blog i had wandered onto until i scrolled further & found your blog about renovating. Love the bag & journal cover. Hugs, Jeanette.
Happy birthday to your son... sounds like a lot of fun. Love your journal cover and sewing bag. Your OPAM finishes for the month are already impressive xx
Love your journal cover and bag. Is that a BH's design? Boys are wonderful when it comes to the cuddle department, probably more so than girls.
Happy Birthday L!!
You're such a neat Mum Jo. Good on ya... the best place they can be is with mates.
Love what you're doing... as usual.
Your work diary is lovely. I wish I had one like that 8) Happy birthday to your DS. My goodness he going to be TALL if he's a 6-footer at 13!
Happy stitching,
Susan

Happy birthday teenager. Hoping I still get cuddles when mine grow up too, thats just lovely.
Wow seems like you are off and running in 2010 with some lovely sewing projects already. I am also planning a new journal/diary cover but mine unfortunately is still in my head. Well done on the new look for your blog.
Your journal cover looks great. I have been going to make one every day but haven't got organised yet.
A big happy birthday to the big teenager. They do grow up to quick. And what a great mum to do a surprise party.
Good on you Jo - what a great mum to do that for him...
Love the finished items!

Wow 13! I bet you don't know where the time went!
Great sewing (as usual!!)
Wow what beautiful finishes Jo , just lovely ! Our kids grow much too quickly my son is 14 and I'm lucky I still get cuddles too !
Happy birthday to your teenager, sounds like you organised a fantastic party for him.
A great start to the year with some lovely projects finished already.
Wow 6 foot tall at 13! You're a brave mum to have all those boys for 24 hours. Did they eat you out of house and home? Your diary cover is lovely.
I love your journal cover. Can you recommend me a pattern? I would love to make one.

It is amazing when your child eclipses you! Two of my sons are so tall it feels weird standing next to them! Happy Birthday!
That's a super sweet little sewing bag!
Love your journal cover and that little sewing bag is just divine...
