HAPPY BIRTHDAY MUM!

Today is my Mums Birthday

she is 86 today

we celebrated with lunch at our house

my Sister came also

we shared lots of good food, wine

lots of chatter

and of course cake

lots of cake

Also many cups of tea

She was also

delighted at opening the

gifts we'd given her

The weather was perfect

crisp autumn morning

turning into a beautiful

warm summer afternoon

After such a lovely day

I can be so grateful

of many things about Mum

that she is still with us

as I know many out there

aren't so fortunate

Mum at 86

still has a very sharp mind

is also quite agile

still very creative

always so interested

in anything she can get her

hands on

whether it be

crochet, knitting, embroidery,

patchwork etc.,

and last but not least 

she is a wonderful friend

I'm sure it's her lifetime

passion for being creative

that has helped both to exercise

and keep

her mind so sharp

as she ages

Life just wouldn't be the same without her

Hope you're all having

a wonderful week-end

and are fortunate enough

to have a 

beautiful Mum

to share your life with 

 

 

EASTER CARDS!

I've been busy playing with

papers, buttons, lace

etc., and making

these large Easter gift cards

or tags

Such fun to make

for a pretty result

with a vintage shabby look

 These are available 

in my Ebay right now

Hope your week is going well

Have a lovely evening

Sweet dreams

The Good Life 24th March 2012

Yesterday we (that is hubby and I) celebrated 33 years of marriage

We just decided to spend the day doing some of our favourite things

Hopped in the car and took a short drive down to nearby Avoca Beach

The weather was perfect, just like on the day we were married in 1979

So it was beautiful just to walk along the sand for a while

Then we had a lovely lunch at this beachside cafe 

Then after a long leasurely lunch 

we strolled along to

the Avoca Beach Picture Theatre

Here we saw a charming movie

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel

Very pleasant and humorous movie

 

Avoca Beach Theatre is a beautiful heritage theatre, a must see theatre with old world atmosphere, velvet seats, beautiful vintage candelabras and free tea and coffee.  Just a short walk from Avoca Beach.

 

At days end we could be so grateful for a perfect day

and, 

for us at the moment

life is good

Have a great week-end everyone!!

Getting back to doing what I love...

"Find something you love to do and you'll never have to work a day in your life"

How true this is. 

When I get to do things I enjoy, such as painting, sewing, mixed media art or anything creative which I really love, it's never a chore but just pure pleasure. 

To me it's not work at all, and doesn't the time just fly past when you finally find the time to just sit and do the things you most enjoy doing?

Sorry I've been a bad blogger lately.

Had our daughter paying us a visit from the U.K for a couple of weeks. 

Wonderful, but as always very sad to say "good bye"

Young ones are so full on though, hard to keep up with them.

Must be getting old?  

No, couldn't be that!! Tee hee!

Things should be getting back to normal soon and hopefully I'll have more creations to show and talk about

Hope your week is wonderful

Wherever you may be

Goodnight now and sweet dreams
