Handmade Mother's Day

 

Happy Mothers day to all the wonderful mummies out there!!

I thought I would share my Mothers Day with you. It was definitely a busy one - that's for sure!

So we kind of had a "Hand Made Mothers Day" theme.

 

I always think that the gifts that are handmade are so much more special. They are the ones that real thought has gone into - and it's not something that you could just go out and get for yourself at the shop.

 

So for my mum this year, I made her a bottle of home made chilli sauce (find the recipe here).

 

 

I also made her a little pillow. This has got the hand prints of my three kids on it. I made it with all recycled materials and stuffed it with an old pillow of ours.

 

 

So my day started with a little sleep in and a yummo breakfast in bed! Hubby and the boys put together a huge plate of pancakes and maple syrup for me! Then we had the mad dash "clean-up the house" before the family all came round. We had an awesome homemade lunch with some delicious sandwiches, sausage rolls, sponge cake and of course my chilli sauce for lunch!!  It was so good!!

 

 

 

And now to end the day the kids and hubby are watching TV and I'm blogging! So it's been a pretty good day!

Hope you all have enjoyed your day too!



  

 

Off to market!

Hi-ho, Hi-ho, it's off to market I go........

Yes market time again!! A new market for me this month! This time The Glades Arts and Produce Market! This one was great as it was an afternoon / night event!

There was an atmosphere around that was just fantastic!! My stall was located in quite a dangerous position though - a food van next to us (dinner), ice cream van opposite (desert), coffee behind (to keep us going), fresh popcorn being popped a few stalls down (always yum) and mini cupcakes not far from us either!! TOO MUCH FOOD!!!!
And every time the breeze picked up, a different and delicious aroma would head in our direction and make us hungry again!!
As I said - a dangerous location!!

There was also a band who played all night, face painting for the kids, bouncy castle, kids craft activities and a super special guest..........

The EASTER BUNNY!!!!!

It was really a great night out - and as a bonus I almost sold out of my owls!!
