A Grandmother's Love...

My mom was doing something on Vistaprint today and asked me to find her a photo of her and the boys.

I found this one.

It was a really difficult photo to take! There was constant movement and this was the best result of the bunch.

But she loves it.

And it made me think about just how many photos I have of the grannies in my kids' lives with them, and the answer is sadly, very very few.

For example I wish I had more photos of this particular Grandmother.

But she lives 11 timezones away and my kids only see her on Skype now.

We miss Ouma.

I must say that I think my children are very blessed to have grandparents in their lives.

I know children who, for various reasons, don't.

And Grannies are special creatures indeed to a young child.

WHOA!!!

Handmade gift overload!

And so many many things I want to make... I could spend an absolute age browsing this list - and wishing for more fabric.

Sigh.

Time to pull out the sewing machine and look for all it's attachments....

And for those of you who were slightly alarmed by last night's Facebook status, I'm fine, this happens, it's common and a direct result of having far too many 'nesting' ideas and not enough energy.

The Man has expressed concern and I have resolved to start to take it easy. And curb my enthusiasm.

I realise now that plotting another veggie patch and double-digging the garden may not be wise...

But you sit when you sew, right?
