Five on Friday

I have had a busy week with lots of moments I would rather forget but a whole lot more that I want to treasure.  Consequently, my choice for my Five on Friday post are precious moments that I want to make a record of.  Five things that have made me smile.

First up is the wonderful birthday celebrations over the weekend, a weekend that I want to re-live time and time again there were so many special moments.  The cake was a real delight, a photograph of the birthday boy on a cake. 

 
How special is that.
 
Crafting with all four of the Grandchildren, a precious moment that I cherish.  There was lots of chatter and laughter going on it was wonderful to watch them interacting with each other.
 





 
I loved every second, everything is such a great adventure at their ages.
 
I have discovered the delights of the pom-pom maker.  They are so much fun, I have great plans for the humble pom-pom.
 

 
The treasure chest and cushion were completed just in time for Wilbur visiting.
 


 
Wilbur loved it and sat on it straight away.  The perfect addition to his pirate house.
 
 
Finally, this is something that made me smile...actually I laughed.  Looked again, got the camera and laughed again.
 
 
A sheep...
 
Not just any old sheep, a sheep going on a walk with the dogs...
 
 
And again, just because...
 
 
Did that make you smile, or is it just me that finds that a little strange?
 
I am once again joining in with Amy at Love Made My Home, pop over and join in the fun.
 
See you soon.

    I've got a sheep like ! She was bottle fed from birth and has really bonded with me - I can't get rid of her!
    I have often wondered whether those pom pom makers really worked. Some of those things can just be a gimick and they don't really work. Maybe I will get one!
    The birthday cake looks fabulous!

    Pom poms are so addictive. All your pictures made me smile, not just the sheep.

    Five wonderful moments to keep a record of, especially the childrens crafting! I hope that you have more good moments over the weekend, and definitely more good to remember than no so good you would rather forget. Hang on in there my friend, hugs and all good thoughts to you! xx

    Those pom-pom makers are brilliant. I want to make pom-pom bunting. They make it so easy. Looking at the shawl in your previous post, I think I've made that in a finer weight yarn. From an Erika Knight book?

    I got the same pompom makers a few weeks ago - they are brilliant! Easier to use than any other pompom maker I know!

    Take care

    LOOK at those grandkids! How sweet are they??!! It looks like you had your hands full, but had tons of fun doing it! Don't people walk their sheep in the UK? We do here in Canada. .... Okay, no we don't, but it's really funny! Have a great weekend!

    This is such a wonderful post and it made me smile very much! The sheep are just adorable but so are your grandchildren :-)
    I keep bumping into these pompom makers and think I should get one too - I still use the time consuming method with two cardboard rings...

    Wilbur...and his pirate house....that is priceless!!! What a sweet looking boy.

    As are your grandchildren at the 'crafty' time spent together. I have only two grandkids...the youngest is in college...so I know just what you meant by wanting to treasure the time spent while they're so young....

    Love the sheep photos...a whole other kinda time for relaxing and enjoying life.

    What pretty things the grandchildren made. Oh yes, I like the picture of the sheep walking with the dogs. He just looks a little out of place all big and curly and looks like he fits right in. :)

    I haven't played a Amy's Five on Friday for quite some time...but it is nice to be visiting again! I love your choices for this week but the one that really made me smile was the 2nd to last with everyone out for a walk! I have to explain that I have a little love affair with sheep and their fibery goodness! :D
    Great to visit...
    Hugs,

    Your grandchildren are just little cherubs! Birthdays and crafting time - so precious. ;)

    I loved the sheep walking with the dogs - that is hilarious!! And definitely not something I'd see in my northwoods in the states, so that was a real treat. Lol

    Thanks for sharing and happy weekend! xo

    Your grands are adorable - and yes, that sheep taking a family walk, along with all the dogs is a classic - totally smile inducing.

    Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for your visits and sweet comments, Lorraine! Hugs!
