Mother's Day

I was busy today relaxing.  I fed the birds and let Gertie out for a wonder around the garden, until she started eating my wild strawberry plants, she has already thined them out to nothing so I but her back in.  Two fires on and I crafted!  I picked up this gorgeous fabric, £12 a metre from John Lewis.  It wasn't a want, no no it was a must, you know when you know, life wouldn't be the same without it, well this is what I thought when I saw this fabric.  I covered a chair and a lamp.  Oh which I picked up at the end of a carboot sale when I heard the man say 'free all must go'!  The chair was one I had when I was a child, my grandfather was an upholsterer, not that it is in my genes, unless he passed down the gene of, I can't wait to finish so that will do! 

All in all as a first without my mum it wasn't so bad.  Tom, Gerry and Gertie bought me hand cream and some tea bags to help me sleep, I will let you know if they work.  I did have a glass of red and said cheers to the best mum in the world.

My Mum

My mum! Do you think your mum is the best? Well I do, she has been the biggest love of my life, my best friend my sole mate and my confidant. Where ever I go she goes, we love the same thing, think the same and laugh at things only we would find funny.  I would do anything for her.  We go on holiday every year to Lyme Regis and have the best times, good times! That's what we say after a good day.

My mum past away on the 3rd of November.  I have been so strong though her illness and now my heart aches for her, but she wouldn't want me to be forever sad so I get on,  that doesn't mean I don't miss my crochet friend and mum.

So I am back, lets crochet on!  Tom and Gerry are still lovely, no change there.  Tom is still king pin! Gerry has been sat on my lap a few times, regardless what I have to do, I will sit there  loving her sat on my lap.

Do you know Pam the chicken died?  I still have Gertie she is so good, a real character, ha ha I even bought her indoors, Tom and Gerry didn't mind, but from the amount she poohed I think Gertie did!

So here we are, I have missed my blog and all you readers, so let's get the craft on! x
