Happy Blue Monday - Blue for Marc's Birthday

Happy Blue Monday to everyone.  Today I'm joining SmilingSally for Monday BLUES.  Be sure to click on the link to visit the other participants.

On Saturday, June 30th we celebrated Marc's birthday and of course we were at Rockledge cottage.

For his birthday breakfast I made crepes with blueberries and whipped cream along with sausages.  It was a lovely morning and the birds sang Happy Birthday with me.

I commissioned my younger son Richard to make him a lazy susan for the deck table.  Even with the hole it can be used indoors.

fits the table perfect...

Didn't he do a great job?  It is 20" diameter.

 

Now our condiments are only an arm's turn away.

With a new shirt and lantern for the deck.

In the evening Janet and Ryan, little ones and our friends Mickey and Molly came over for dinner.

I baked a cake with 3 colours of icing of which 2 of them were BLUE...

and also little French Macaroons.  It was the first time I'm made them...see the BLUE ones..

Marc and the little ones blew out the candles on the BLUE cake I had baked.

It was a humid day and my hair shows it for sure.

Mickey and Molly ride their golf cart over and took the kids out for a drive.  Jack helped drive.

Janet and Ryan.....

I know it was a fun day for Birthday Marc....because the rest of us had fun for sure.

Vintage Pillowsham Apron - Ready for Giving

I love vintage pillowcases and pillow shams. I make pillowcase dresses for Madeline and they are so cute.

Today we celebrated my mother's 82nd birthday. As part of the present we gave her I made a vintage pillow sham apron.  She had seen one I'd made for a girlfriend of mine and said she would love one too.

This is the sham it started out as...

A bit of cutting....

Sewing and ironing....

and Voila a pretty little apron.

These particular colours and types of flowers are so like my mother. I know she'll like it.
This is a picture of us celebrating Mother's Day in the spring...

Happy Birthday Mom. Love you..... Judi xoxo

BLUE Monday

Its Monday, BLUE Monday so be sure to click to Sally from SmilingSally our Blue Monday Hostess to see the other Blue Monday participants. Don't forget to leave everyone a comment so they'll know you've visited.

My BLUE Monday today has a picture of the rooster cake plate I gave to my younger son Richard's Eva for her birthday a few weeks ago. They have blue dishes and she loves baking and this cake plate complements her dishes.

I also made her a TommyHilfger BLUE jean bag. This is the backside of it.

We had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant.... My mom is on the left at the end, Eva's grandmother is sitting beside her and my youngest son Richard is sitting beside me. My eldest son Geoff and my granddaughter Madeline weren't there unfortunately.

Be sure to check out the other Blues for today and have a lovely day.... Judi xoxo
