My Painting is Done

So as most of you know mum recently finished an A4 size cross stitch of me... Well she decided that she wanted to do a 4 picture(different mediums) in a frame of the same picture, so she has just finished doing a painting of that same picture. So in the frame will be a computer print, a cross stitch, a pencil drawing and an acrylic on canvas painting, I can't wait until it is all framed and on a wall. I don't think she did a bad job seeing as she hasn't painted in 25 years

I can't stop bragging about mums Orchids


So the yellow Orchid was last mentioned when it has 11 flowers on it and mum was jumping for joy back then, she thought some may die off, but OH NO, they are going strong, she is now up to 19 beautiful yellow flowers. WOW, this was a dying plant when she got it, and the pink one was also dying, and this one has come back to life and is now sitting pretty with 10 beautiful flowers. Mum is chuffed to bits.

5 Days Off and loads done

So Mum has just had 5 days off and she worked like a Trojan,
On Saturday she had her tooth implant done (well the first half, and believe it or not no pain) Then she cleaned the house fully...
On Sunday she cleaned up the shed (where a little mouse had decided to spend winter and pooped everywhere) I have never heard mum gag like that before, but she got it all done.
On Monday (Bank Holiday)She then decided to fix up the bird feeding area and I think she did a fantastic job. Now I can sit in my aviary and watch the other birdies in the garden. GO MUM... ;)
which left her Tuesday and Wednesday (holidays she booked off work) to sit in the garden and enjoy it all.... AND GUESS WHAT IT DID?????? YES IT TURNED ALL COLD AND MISERABLE ON THOSE 2 DAYS... poor mum
