... in my Floriade Broadcasting.
There will be one more Floriade post ... about the 'fun' and just my thoughts on spending for/at events etc.
Look what is happening here at home, the Lilac is in full bloom. I'm enjoying some flowers again this year before I remove the main flowering section of the tree as a part of my three year pruning plan, It is an overgrown bush, most of the flowering section is way above my head - I actually had to climb to cut these.
Now I'll show you the Cuddle hearts I made on Sunday. One for each of my Children, I took the pattern from Amanda Soule's 'Handmade home' book, she calls it family heart.
When my daughter saw me slip stitching the opening she shouted in excitement 'Oh Mum you made us some cuddle hearts!'
So that's what they are 'Cuddle hearts' we, each parent, put a note into each pocket and the children took them to their sleepover. It was their first time away from home without a parent.
Little Miss's pyjama pants wore through on the knee so last night I made her a pair from an old pair of mine that wore through ... in the bottom area ... too much sitting down ?? lol
I kept the existing hems and side seams from the original pants, in the smaller pair.
It was good to whip these up in under an hour from cutting to completion. It had me reflecting on that first pair of pyjama pants I made from a paper pattern just a few months ago. My confidence and ability has really improved.
The glass in the oven door was replaced this morning...
Stay tuned for baking. ; )

I love the cuddle hearts idea. My eldest still takes a piece of my clothing with her on nights away. I think it's time I make her one of these.
