Being a mother...just one of so many roles we fulfil in our busy lives...mother, daughter, wife, friend, colleague...but being a mother becomes a large part of the person that we are.
But, in addition to being the mother of the children I adore, I tend to spend my life "mothering" so many around me...family and friends, and to some extent my experiences as a mother shape the way that I deal with and support the clients in my professional life.
Here, I was fortunate to have my daughter come to visit and then my dear Mum came for lunch. Lovely!
Rather than head out, we had delicious bowls of homemade soup and damper...plenty of time to chat and just catch up with each other. What the day is all about.
My son was too far way to head home, but instead he surprised me with beautiful flowers...I was very impressed by this, he is a thoughtful and sensitive young man...sometimes during the teenage years you wonder whether that will ever happen...so stay strong and know that our sometimes trying, sometimes quite difficult teens do grow into lovely men who do love their mothers!
My Mothers Day festivities actually began last week. My daughter and her sweet beau took me to see Katie Noonan at a lovely venue very near my new home. I have adored her music for a long time, so seeing her in such an intimate setting was brilliant. If you ever get the chance to see her live, DO, she is even better live, and such a funny, warm and engaging lady as well as a very professional musician...and all with the most beautiful of voices.We had such a lovely night out.
Some time has also been spent this week organising my cupboards. Here is a corner of the sewing room ...not fully organised yet, but it is starting to come together...I can even find my STUFF! At long last.
Lastly, I have been waiting for my new chair...to sit and sew, chat or watch the TV.
Love it, love it, love it! My daughter is calling it the Witch's chair!
Here I can sit and plot my sewing future!
