So very proud of my Mum!

03/07/2013

My Mum, lives in Florida…

She recently overcame a traumatic, life changing event….my stepfather left her after 40 years of marriage.

  

 She dealt with it in her own distinct way, choosing to stay and live in Florida alone.

Slowly overcoming her sadness, she is finding a new life at 71.

She volunteers for a Charity in the united states called ‘Habitat for Humanity’ 


“Habitat for Humanity is an international development charity that aims to break the cycle of poverty by eliminating poverty housing and homelessness. “

Through her charity work in 2012 she visited the devastated island of Haiti, and helped build houses like the ones below….

 …..whilst there she  met ex president Jimmy Carter and his wife and the singer Garth brooks and his wife all involved in the project.

Back home in Florida she has continued the work and was recently asked to do several interviews

Here she is in front of two houses she helped build for the local community!

This is the article for the local paper….do have a look…

Of course I miss her, a visit means a long journey….. 

but once there the memories made are special…and filled with sunshine

…..and of course like many Mothers and daughters we have had our ups and downs….

But…

I am so very, very proud of her.

I have so much respect for how she is choosing to live her life, her way.

 I want to be like her when I grow up.
See her t-sht it says ‘inspire’ and she does.

Go Mummy!!!

 I love you

I'd so appreciate you sharing this post!

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

First dress #isabellatop by @hubbadingpatterns 
Second @mccallpatterncompany #m7969
Third my favourite #validress by @patternfantastique

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
