Wintry weather and what I am making.

A very damp morning, about 9 mm I think. We didnt walk but loked at the sea and wondered if the River Inman had burst through to the sea, it hadnt, I think it will take a lot of rain or a very high tide before it gets through the sea weed and sand bank. I am slowly getting my baby blanket done, very slowly, but I think it will be ok when it is finished. I had lost a bit of enthusiasm about making it but I think now I have picked it up again I will get on with it. Not sure why but I seem to have been feeling tired all the time.

A lovely mothers day

We had a good walk this morning, along the cliffs towards Depps beach from the Kings Beach car park, longer than I have managed for a while. Then over to a late lunch at Tab and Johns with my three grand daughters, two great grand sons and Tab's John's mother and sister.I dont know what I was thinking but I only managed a photo of Lachie and Gabby. Had a bit of an off with the pixies day.

A week end of doll making with Jill Maas and the morning walk.

I had a tiring but wonderful week end away playing and making dolls with Jill Maas.So lovely to be with other doll makers. I am very slow so although my doll here has hair but is naked, I did manage to get a skirt on her. Now I have lots more work to do but I will do her slowly. Not in any great rush to finish her. The other little bears and dolls are all Jill's, so much talent. Love making dolls and I have a few more patterns to make up but I am tired today, lovely bit of rain at the moment. We walked early, lovely colours in the sea and sky. Had a doctors appointment and John had a meeting that was a bit messed up. Time for me to feed Max and George and do something simple for dinner. Kedgeree I think. Comfort food!

Rain

Listening to the rain on the roof and watching it bounce on the road. Bliss. My pots are loving it, the lawn is greening up before my eyes. Love it.

A 21st and the skies this afternoon.

We had Celina's very close family around for her 21st last night to eat pizza and then go home, she is 7 weeks off having her baby and although it takes me a fair sort of effort to do these things these days it was a lovely night. I felt we had to celebrate it, I was heavily pregnant for my 21st and it is nice to have some sort of celebration on the day Celina and Millie. We had a late walk this afternoon and the skies and light were incredible. We are supposed to get rain. I really hope so as it is terribly dry.

Afternoon walk along the cliffs

We have 2 21st birthdays today, one granddaughter in Melbourne and one here. We are having close family here for Celina, she didnt wqant any others, we will have pizza and salad and cake. She is only about 7 weeks from the due date of her baby. I dont do much but was happy to have them here. It wont be a late night. We had a walk on the cliffs this afternoon, now for a little sit in my chair.
