Last weekend, my dear mummy came and stayed.  Oh it was so good.  We had four whole days and nights.  We breakfasted at the Martin Street Providore.  We shopped at Chadstone with Abby – a 12 year old’s version of the perfect afternoon.  We picnicked in Daylesford.  Mum collected Abby from school and they shared afternoon tea at our favourite bakery.

The bit I loved the best … sitting in the sun, in the back garden, knitting and sewing and crocheting.  Bliss :-)

My new/old sewing basket discovered its true purpose – to carry around the wool scraps from the ripple.

I crocheted.

Mum sewed up my cardie.

We munched on toast and honey, sipped coffee and sat in our jammies ’til 2pm!  The perfect way to while away a long and lovely weekend with my mum.

    Wish I had a mum like that but instead I am one to my girls and am off to see the older one this weekend. I sure hope we can hang and knit/sew together. I’m working on a hex quilt!
    Sunday is Mother’s day in the states so I’ll send a happy Mother’s day greeting to you!!–if a bit early…ya’ know time zones changes will explain all!

    Hello there. I hopped over here from Joe’s blog – Janet Clare’s little lad. Goodness, I’m glad I did. What a lovely place. Your images are lovely and your projects covetable. I will be back. Emma x
