Intergenerational Creativity

Have been in Melbourne for my grandson's 4th birthday ... 4yrs old - Gosh!

My gorgeous daughter made a great play-mat for her boy to play with his cars in an imaginative way. A piece of AstroTurf with some of the 'grass' plucked out to make a road. I helped with some road-making while I was there ... plucking plastic grass is very slow & tedious work! The houses are more of my daughter's creativity - yoghurt tubs with masking tape, paint ... and little boy made garages from some boxes - it must be genetic :-)

Daughter is far more artistic than I am - she gets that from darling Hubby's side (his mum is an artist). I love it that our daughter is painting & creating again; she needs to paint as I need to make things. When she was a little thing I used to sew and knit 'around her' when she would not settle to sleep without me - just as now, she paints 'around' her little one ...
To me, that is what a Yummy Mummy looks like.

Her current works are quite 'woodland', almost cute animals with a dark background - quite sweet but not kitsch. Like this critter - not quite of this earth ...

Going Interstate

A short post because I'm busy sorting things out and packing; we are going interstate tomorrow to visit relies and will be away for 11 days.

I'll have to put my on-line shops On Vacation and I'll be missing far-too-many Millinery classes but I'm looking forward to seeing some of the family AND I'll be taking lots of knitting projects. When I travel, my suitcase is usually half full of knitting yarns, patterns and needles ... have this fear of running out of things to make!

Have also been doing some finishing :-) this wee dress / top is for a friend's baby girl.
