And anyway, I'm glad my plans were spoiled - these times are too precious....
We got straight into our PJ's, closed the curtains and lit the candles....chit chatted all night and had cuddles in my bed. The next morning (my birthday) she came and snuggled up in bed with me before we got up and made breakfast. A mango smoothie (It's too thick Mum, I need a spoon!)
How gorgeous does she look?
Yes that's me with a mango moustachio!
She stayed for 2 nights and then Jim and Charlie joined us on Monday, we went to Exscape
where Laura-Beth and Charlie "climbed the wall"
This was their first time ever and I'm glad to say they both reached the top and were pleased as punch with themselves!
My birthday treat to myself was a workshop at Dyans
Shelley picked me up at 8:30am as usual but we didn't arrive at Dy's till 10:40!!!! (Harrogate is about 45 - 50 minute drive normally!) No we didn't get lost, there was an accident on the A1 so we took a detour. headed for the M62 intending to get on the M1, but unfortunately there had been another accident on the M62! So all we could do was sit there, inching forward in the car. Would we get there at all I wondered.....
But make it we did, as ever Dyan had produced a fab project..... A Zetti/beeswax accordian folded book ... we played with Claudine Helmuth paints, images from Lisa's altered art and beeswax...
I love going to AFTH Dyan is a great Tutor and just has that gift of making you feel so welcome you're almost like family. (also she has great taste in music) Jill was there for her first time, I think she probably thought the rest of us were a bit crazy but I will bet you a £1000 she'll be back!
Aw, what a lovely time you had with your daughter, special times eh! What generous and loving daughter you have.
ReplyDeleteLove the project you did at Dy's and I agree, she's a special, talented lady. xx
