Mum time....




Have had a lovely day. Headed off early to travel an hour to have lunch with my Mum. She has been on her own now for over 10 years after losing Dad to cancer and we spend as much time together as possible. My only sister lives in London. Mum had gone to so much trouble for Easter and I am now officially 'chocolated' out!! (at least for an hour or two). Spent a lot of the day chatting and inspecting each others craft projects. Mum is currently making the most gorgeous beaded felt shoes (about 10cm long). She has almost completed a quilt top for her granddaughter Gracie in London, only a little applique to finish.I'm sure she will love it when Mum delivers it in July. I'm hoping to have a quilt finished for her little brother John's 2nd birthday. It was meant to be his 1st birthday present but the way I am going he may get it for his 18th!!
