Happy Happy Birthday to my beautiful, inspiring, craftilicious Mum!
(And in Birthday Blog tradition, here is a pic from our wedding! LOL! I love using our wedding pics, sorry if it's a bit gratuitous!)
Let me tell you a little about our Mum. She's so crafty, she makes Martha Stewart look like Tara Dennis (you know you hate BH&G as much as I do. Honestly, what is with her "craft ideas"? They're shocking!) Mum is so talented with her hand embroidery, sewing skills, applique, quilting, knitting, she is so inspiring for me and my own craft work. If it wasn't for Mum, I wouldn't be this crafty at all! It was Mum who had a little box of fabric scraps and buttons for me to wade through and cut up and glue to make little cards, that started me on the papercrafts wagon, about 20 years ago! Thank You Mum!
Her Annual Craft Sale Garden Party is such a beautiful and anticipated event by all her friends. Everyone loves Mum's craft work, and the beautiful garden that she and Dad pride themselves in where they host her Garden Party. Not to mention the beautiful afternoon tea of cakes, slices and sweet treats served up on Precious Vintage China. It's always such a success!
Mum has blessed us over the years with many many gorgeous handmade things, like Jaimeson's Pram cover, which got soooooooo many comments, whenever I pushed him around in the pram! I felt we especially fit in in snobby places like Chatswood Chase or Bondi Junction when I was pushing Jai with this pram cover on! So beautiful! And Mum is so good at interpreting whats in your mind, and having it come out just how I wanted! I said I'd like Woodland with a tree and a fox and some mushrooms, and this gorgeous scene is what Mum dreamt up, and it's perfect. Thank you Mum, I love your work! {bowing graciously}
And of course, if it's Mum's birthday, it must be Aunty Julie's Birthday too! Happy Birthday Aunty Julie!! We have to meet up again for Costco & Sergio's soon!
Big Hugs xoxo

Your mum is one very clever lady. That pram cover is just so beautiful. Happy Birthday to your mum.
I like Tara Dennis, but what is with her craft ideas?! I haven't even seen BH&G for years but I remember thinking "What THE?" to a lot of her segments! Dave too!
Lovely post. :)
Thankyou for my birthday wishes. So lovely to see your wedding pics again. It was such a wonderful day.
Love Mum
PS Thanks for all the lovely things you said about me. It is such an effort and at the moment I'm feeling so stressed about it all that sometimes I wonder why I do it. But then again, on the day, everyone seems to have such a great time.
I love crafty mums. I have a super awesome crafty mum too. She has made the front cover 5 times this year on lots of the craft magazines. So proud. Hope your mum wad a fantastic birthday.
