Make it Memorable Monday - in memory of...

Indulge me.

I know that my Make it Memorable Monday's are about helping you to celebrate the everyday but today I want to digress. Slightly.







Yesterday morning my husband's grandmother passed away a couple of weeks away from turning 93. It was a very sad, and emotional day for us all, so while very brief, I want to dedicate this post to remembering her - to celebrate her life and what she meant to me.



Nanna was a lady; a blue haired, stockings, pearls and lipstick kind of lady. She made me my Marilyn Monroe costume that I wore on the second official date with my husband (long story, for maybe another time).



She had a wonderful china collection, was a bridge player and dedicated Church goer.



I loved her for the crocheted coat hangers I got for my birthday,



and the fact that she needed to have a small glass of sherry to take the edge of her nerves before each State of Origin game (a Queensland Vs New South Wales football match), not that I know why, I clearly recall her saying that God was a Queenslander, so she really didn't have anything to worry about.



But most of all, I loved her because in my husbands eyes, she was the best kind of Nanna you could have. I love you my husband, and I share your pain.

I've been shopping!

How is everyone this lovely Saturday?

Yesterday, the boy and I went on an adventure to the CraftExpo Brisbane. It was my very first craft fair and I was blown away by how busy it was! There was heaps to see and do, and lots to buy. Unfortunately my little one wasn't in the mood to shop so we didn't get to spend a lot of time, but that didn't stop me! Here's a couple of things that I bought...









When my new sewing  machine and I are a little better acquainted I am going to use this fabric to make the cutest little monkey to with a pattern by Melly & Me.

If you are at all into crafting I would certainly recommend that you pop along. It's open all this weekend.

Oh, on another note. You may have noticed some small changes to my blog recently. I have been doing the most amazing online course 'Blogging Your Way' run by Holly of Decor8 and Leslie of Creative Mint. If you are someone who has a blog and wants to improve it, or is thinking about starting one I can't recommend this program more highly. It has been one of the best e-courses that I've done. I hope that you see more and more improvements on this little blog and like what you see.

Okay, that's it for now. I will be back shortly with a fabulous featured party and a stunning beachside wedding.
