But does this count?
I am really enjoying The Great British Sewing Bee. I am not really ambitious enough to make clothes for myself, but this is still a lot of fun to watch. Before I found out I was pregnant I did buy a book with clothing in mind for myself and also have patterns for one skirt, a dress and a blouse that I've not yet attempted. Maybe post-pregnancy I'll be ready!
Episode 1 (and all the others) can be found here.
When Audrey was little I posted somewhere here that I was going to give her "Pea" as her nickname as she was quite sensitive and made me think of the Princess and the Pea. Then I started collecting pictures, patterns and books of the Princess and the Pea. I now have a dilemma - I have two lovely doll patterns, but don't know which one to make... I think probably the Tilda one. I should really finish my stitchery first.
On Friday Audrey's childcare preschool room had a Mother's Day lunch. We had sandwiches and cupcakes. The class sang two gorgeous songs including Catch A Falling Star. When all the mum came into the room I could see Audrey anxiously scanning the room for me, and gave a huge smile when we made eye contact.
Before I left she showed me (after asking if she could come with me) where they have a little play table set up for "High Tea". Gorgeous sugar bowls and spoons, fairy plates and cups. There is a little cookbook on a stand with petit fours and Audrey showed me her favourite ones. I thought of the kids cubby house at home and while the kids have a kitchen and play food they don't play in there as much as I thought they would. Yesterday I made her a table cloth (hemmed and all) and said we would set the little table up inside. She asked for a bowl of soapy water and a cloth and she spent an hour sweeping dirt and cobwebs, washing down the stove and the food and then I brought the little table and chairs out. She selected one of her tea sets and set it all up beautifully. This morning I heard her go outside and went out after a while to find her in her pyjamas playing. Porridge was had out there before the kids came inside for my "cooked" Mother's Day breakfast. :)
