Me In A Snap

Hi Mum,

This post is for you!! Happy Mother’s Day!! I am so blessed to have you as my Mum, and I LOVE watching you interact with Miss Delightful. You are not only an awesome Mum, but you are also a fantastic Grandma!

Thanks for everything you have done for me over the years. I wouldn’t be who I am today without you!!

I hope you have a really nice day, Miss D and I are glad we can be here with you this weekend to celebrate :)

Lots and lots of love,
your one and only, favourite daughter :)

Oh and here is a picture I saw a while ago, it’s something I can imagine you would say to me :)

Yesterday I decided to start and finish a sewing job that has been on my list for months! I already had the material so I just needed to sit down and do it :)

I found this pillowcase dress tutorial over at LBG Studio, it was really easy to follow!

And here is my finished product:

Miss Delightful didn’t want to pose for a photo, so I snapped this one when she was busy watching Ellen dancing on the TV!

I still have lots of material so I will have to come up with something else to make now :)

Over the last few days I have been working on a new hat for Miss Delightful… it’s been fun and kids hats take shape so quickly!

She loves wearing her hat… too bad she keeps running around getting hot!

On Friday Miss Delightful and I went for a slow walk to the supermarket and post office. I haven’t been walking very far since my surgery but it was lovely to get out for a slow stroll!

On the way home Miss D decided that she wanted to walk home. She made it a LONG way before asking to go back in the buggy. At one point we stopped to collect some leaves to take home, she had a great time choosing different sizes and colours.

Once we got home she asked what we could do with them. She is really into glueing at the moment, so we decided to glue the leaves to a big piece of paper. She had lots of fun, although some of the bigger leaves refused to stay put so we had to find some tape to help!

About a month ago a dear friend of mine did something very brave and courageous… something I could never do! She shaved her hair off for Shave for a Cure!

The hubby and I donated a little bit of money but I wanted to do something else for her. So I knitted her a hat! It was cool to do something to help her out, and I challenged myself to learn how to do something new.

So here is my cable knit hat:

And when I was all done, I packaged it up and sent it off:

I heard from her the other day that it had arrived… and dear friend if you are reading this, thanks for letting me create something for you and I’d love to see a photo of the hat in use! :)

It has now been 2 weeks since I had my surgery and I am recovering well. A huge part of my recovery has been the support and help we have received over the past 2 weeks!

We are so thankful for everything that has been done for us. We have been delivered delicious meals, baking treats, help with Miss Delightful, visits while I was stuck on the couch, and helpful drivers. We were also blessed with lots of help from our parents. My Mum & Dad were able to have Miss D for the week I was in hospital and Mr Wonderful’s Mum was able to come stay for 5 days recently.

I feel that I would not be recovering so well without all this help, so thank you to all those who lent a hand! And now I am going back to the couch for some more resting :) Tomorrow is the first day that Miss D and I will be on our own! Miss D has been fantastic over the past 3 weeks, hopefully I will be able to keep up with her!
