Craft night and coffee groups are my example of where women come together and share their experiences and not feel like they have to hide a bad day, can complain, can ask for advice and more than happy to lend a hand or even being comfortable to ask and even feel happy to share in the happy/win moments in life- like the small victory this week Master B eating carrots and peas happily off his plate without them being mashed into potatoes!
I asked a friend who is more skilled than I if she had some time to crochet me a hat. I had brought some felted wool back in October last year when we went away and last night she finished an awesome hat for me. Perfect for wearing to school on cold mornings.
my new hat! |
Being that its Mothers Day on Sunday its a reminder for me about all that my mum does for me- every call for help, advice on baking and other things, washing, showers, place to call in for a coffee and chat, being around for my children and it reminds me of my friends and also being aware to love others and have compassion and sympathy and helping because as a mum myself you can't do life alone. Others are in our lives for the laughs, good times and bad. Friends get us through those days you feel like nothing is working and are our sounding boards when a stain just wont come out of our favourite top!
Maybe this week you can do something for a friend.
love your post !

ReplyDeletethe hat looks great on you!
ReplyDeletei'm not entirely certain it is a polite thing to ask (sort of feels like party-crashing) but... how do you get started on attending craft nights?
ReplyDeletehere's the thing: i moved to chch 2 months ago, haven't got any family or friends here, slowly starting to get to know other moms in plunket and would love to go to some sort of a craft night, somewhere, but... how? yours sounds like it's a circle of friends, so i'd most certainly be party-crashing, but do you know of any open-sort-of craft nights, somewhere?
many thanks,
maria
