Mothers day, cottages and tv.

Heavens, I hadn't realised I had been away so long! Thank you for all your lovely comments on my previous post!
I have finally managed to send my parcel to Dominique at Shabby shac! Hurrah!
A belated Happy mothers day to all you Mothers/Grandmothers/great Grandmothers/ mothers to be etc.. out there! (I know our Mothers day differs from the US mothers day but I'll send my wishes now as I will forget later on!)
I had a lovely day. Much of it spent watching tv but more of that later!
These are the presents I got my dear Mama.
I made the Hare (not a bunny this time! it's a hare! Making smaller ones are so much more difficult than the bigger ones and making them out of towelling is a lot easier than out of cotton).And these are the presents I received. I was very lucky indeed! El made me this flower in a jar!And I got these! The books and the little lantern are from J...The body lotion, a teddy, a small box of roses and a ceramic cupcake are from L...And my mum and Dad got me the little cottage which is a jam pot. My Grandma would never serve marmalade and Jam in their jars on the breakfast table, they were always in pots, I love the idea of that. My Mum thought the little house would go with the cake stands I have... and also the tea cosy that my Grandma made and which I have kept. My parents have a lovely embroidered fire screen that my Grandma made, My Grandad didn't believe in television so she spent many hours sewing and making pegged rugs.
It's a good job I'm not married to someone like my Grandad as yesterday I seemed to do a lot of watching of the old goggle box. I did however fit in a walk to the park with the kids and a lovely visit to my parents and a delicious Sunday dinner made by my Mum.
Sometimes there is nothing on tv and then other times there is one thing after another. I did sort out all my magazine cuttings though so I wasn't totally unproductive. I watched 'Seance on a wet afternoon' while the kids did their homework outside in the yard (sat on the blanket, we make the best of any sunshine that comes our way!). Then I watched 'The turn of the screw' and it finally made some sense (I've read the story by Henry James and seen lots of filmed versions of it but remained a bit puzzled, I think I have it worked out now!) Followed by 'larkrise to Candleford' which I am thorougly enjoying! And then just as I was going to bed, I saw there was an old Hammer house of horror on and it had Diana Dors in it so I just had to watch it. The special effects were terrible by todays standards but I still enjoyed it! So a very nice afternoon was spent glued to the tv!
Oh all the photos of my things, are done on the new camera. I absolutely love it! It is so easy to use. :D
I look forward to catching up on some blogs this evening!
