Saturday is Caption Day

I have long been a fan of the Saturday caption game you find over on Mammasaurus Blog

It's very funny. Click on the link to see a linky with other contributors. What caption can you give mine? 

How wide does my mouth need to be to fit this cake in completely?

The Sun Has Got His Hat On!

There has been an amazing small summery heat wave here over the past week. We all rushed to the cupboard and pulled out a crumpled array of long neglected summer clothes, sun cream and hats and headed for outdoors. Sigh. It was lovely but today it has gone all rainy and gray again so here are some photos of the brief glory period to cheer us all up. It's probably a good thing that it does not last - I'll never get any work done!

From a Childs Eye

The one most triumphant Christmas present my daughter had was her childproof camera. She has been snapping away and we finally persuaded her to download the contents this weekend. Amazing number of very blurry shots and the same items repeatedly! But here is a very brief digest of the good stuff (maybe 5% although this encapsulates all the themes - except I have omitted the many pictures of toys yawn).

Happy Holidays

Too busy enjoying my holiday to blog - or figure out why I can't format the pictures in a pretty way. But anyway here is a snap shot of our week. Stay Merry xx

Her First Christmas

A sweet momento of someone elses past

I was at an Antiques Shop recently, when I spotted this photo of a little girl in a dusty corner of the place, half hidden behind some other stacked up frames. I wonder if the sitter has grandchildren of her own now. I wonder why this picture was left abandoned although it clearly once meant so much to someone. When it was taken, someone carefully hand coloured this little lady, from the blue eyes to the red hat on her doll. And check out her dress! It looks hand embroidered - the detail is not so easy to see here but there are little animals (puppy, duck) and flowers all over it. Although I was not shopping for wall art, I had to buy her. She can sit in my sewing room and help to remind me of how precious a hand made thing can be.
