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.
