A belated Happy Mother's Day to all the
wonderful mothers, grand mothers and great grand mothers. We had all
three in our household yesterday and it was awesome. My gluten free
scones were great, didn't rise quite as much as I would have liked but very
edible and were all gone very early in the day. I think Mum had a lovely
day, the three great grand daughters were so well behaved and friendly.
By mid afternoon Mum and I had tidied up and then relaxed for the remainder of
the day.
Today it is back to
work, washing is on, I am about to make my smoothie and just had a few moments
to get this little bit down before the washing machine calls me to hang out.
We have a beautiful day weather wise so hopefully all the washing will
dry.
Back from my mundane
chores for a short time so I am going to try and finish this off so I am not
worrying about this as this page is my main aim for the beginning of the
week. I love spending quiet time thinking about what I am going to write.
Sometimes at the end of a week I might start off if something happening
hits me as a great idea. However, usually I am not that well organised.
We have just had
Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter and Mothers Day all within 5 months, now the
next big hype will be End Of Financial Year Sales (EOFYS) , then Fathers Day
and Christmas, but at least we have a little more time in between to slow down
and organise ourselves. You can always start Christmas shopping though, I
am on the look out all year around and particularly with the sales coming up at
the end of June. They generally need to be available on line as mobility is
always an issue. Also, I start now planning what I am making for
Christmas as gifts for all the family or what little gadgets I am buying
especially for the men. I hope to offer a page of gadgets for everyone to
view and buy in the very near future.
At the moment my
magnificent wool supply arrived from overseas this week so when I finish cross
stitching for my new grand daughter (less than 2 weeks now) I can start
crocheting for my other grand daughters for winter. I think I will make
shrugs for this winter. Shrugs are so handy for keeping shoulders warm
and look so pretty on little girls. My mother and daughter loathe them so
will have to make something else for grand daughter No 2.
This week I have a
lovely recipe and crafts to add to the collection plus an article
on
'Top 5 Ways Crafty Business People
Get Social Media Wrong' This
is a great article for all to read. The full article will be in My Little
Pick Me Ups Have a read, it is worth the couple of
minutes spent. Otherwise, everyone, have a great week and I will try to
be more organised and together for next week.
Recipe of the Week
Time to make something special for Mother's Day, I am making scones but had I seen this first I may have changed my mind.
Flourless Chocolate Torte
Nana's Favorite Baby Blanket
The cold is setting in and all babies need a rug to cuddle up to. Babies of all sizes and ages will benefit from a rug. I use one at night whilst sitting in my chair to keep arthritic knees warm. Rugs are also quite easy to make even if you are only a basic knitter or crocheter.
This one is for a baby but can be adapted to fit any size. Enjoy!
Recycled Plastic Bottle Wind Spinner
Everybody has a plastic bottle lying around around. Here is a great activity for children.
