now see here

 

One time my kids gave me a ball of wool .

 

Just one ball .

 

It is hard to make something special with just one ball .

 

They have since asked what is happening with that one ball ...

and I have said

 

 

now see here you kids 

I am busy ...

 

can't you see I haven't had any time

 

 

but can you see I do appreciate your lovely gift and

I love you both very , very much .

 

 

another mothers day post

Happy Mother's Day everyone !

My kids bought me an odd set of cup and plates from Vinnies

and a ball of wool in my mothers favourite colour , just perfect !

My brothers and sisters and all our kids have a cup of tea at

11.00 am on mothers day in honour of our mum and nan .

Although we are not in the same room we all are together in spirit.

We are spread out all over Australia and New Zealand

and there are lots of us .

This is our second time doing this and although it has

a tinge of sadness it brings us all together

and I know that my mum would have loved that.

So yes I am always a little sad on days like this but

so very grateful for my family .

Enjoy your day !

Love you mum always xxxx

I knew I forgot something !

Some of you may have seen my huge crochet blanket before but as it has just gone back on my bed as the nights are becoming a bit cool , I thought I'd show it again .
I made this not so small treasure over many years , in fact since I was a teenager .
It really is not the most beautiful thing but it is very special to me and it is enormous !
 It hangs down to the floor of my queen size bed and is so cosy .
I also forgot to wish all the mums a Happy Mothers Day and as my mum says I'd sometimes forget my own head if it wasn't screwed on !
Happy Mothers Day Mum xxxx
