A new Happy Birthday garland in pretty rainbow colours is now available in the shop. I am really proud of this one; it took 5 rummages through my paper pile, two trips to the paper shop, a lot of switching and swapping of colours and an afternoon of photographing. I am pretty sure that I have it right now.
Yes. Me. Tomorrow. Everything is good. I am so happy living my crafty life, with 3 very nice children and a sweet husband. Life couldn’t be better really. I have been feeling quite out of sorts the last few weeks, we lost my favourite Aunty Wendy to dementia and eventual liver failure on 30 June. I have so many great memories of my aunty, Wendy was an animal lover and kept a whole menagerie over the years – think chooks, greyhounds, cats, dogs all in inner city Sydney would you believe? Although Wendy and her husband had no children, their home was a haven for many nephews and nieces who came to stay a while. It was a magical place to visit. I am holding on tight to these memories right now, and helping my dear Mum through this hard time as they were very close sisters.
Tomorrow we are having sandwiches for lunch here at home and a delicious cake from New York patisserie in Caringbah with my family. The kids picked a chocolate mousse cake. It looks amazing. We are also going to go out for dinner and trying Brazilian BBQ. And next weekend all of my school girlfriends are coming for dinner. Yay. Hippy Birdy to me………
