First Mother's Day

We had a terrific weekend in Christchurch.   Anu celebrated her first Mother's Day and Simone got to meet her uncle David for the first time.  Simone wasn't so sure about David's beard at first - but he is a natural with kids and won her over quickly.  Auntie Tracy, Lucy and the Tribbles joined in the fun too.  We had our own little Mother's Day circus.  Here are the pictures from the weekend.

Waiheke Weekend

We've had a lovely fall weekend with MaMa TeTe and Saba on Waiheke.  We played with Betty Blue and ate yummy food.  The most fun however was rediscovering all the treats MaMa TeTe has kept in storage for 40 years.  Yes, that's right from my baby shoes to my leather, monogrammed frog purse MaMa TeTe saved it all.  She even saved the patterns from my Halloween costumes - what a star!

we love orange

Sewing with Granny

We've just had a lovely week with Granny Mary in Wanaka.  By day Granny was taking a Children's Book Illustration course.  By night, she was super, sewing Granny.  Giving Anu remedial lessons on how to whip up cute numbers for Simone.  Take special note of the red hoody jumper - that is a Granny Mary original.

Festival of Colour

We headed to Wanaka for a week of school holidays with Granny Mary (more about that on the Sewing with Granny update).  These are just cute shots of Simone exploring fall leaves in her new fleece suit from Rae and Bruce.
