Nana Cool

This is my Nana and Granddad on their wedding day. Unfortunately Grandad passed before I had the chance to remember him, but my Nan she was way past cool. An unflappable, accepting, nurturing kind of cool, all the great markers of a Nan. She spent hours playing games with me and taught me how to sew. She passed away just after Caleb was born, but at least she got to meet him. She was a crafting powerhouse and it was a huge part of her life. I have noticed that Nana love pops up a lot in Blogland, so as the end draws near on Blogtoberfest, I am making next week my Week O Nana. I would love for you all to join in even if for a day, there are lots of CWA Granny inspired crafts out there if yours wasn't so, perhaps it is granny squares, or those crocheted toilet roll holder things with the dolls at the top. Or perhaps it was your Great Aunt or Father that was rocking it, in honor of my Nan it is an accepting and nurturing join in, if you want to.

Friday Faves with Blogtoberfest

The lovely Drewzel has started a Fave Friday to go along with Blogtoberfest so how could I not join in. Fave song was the pick for this week, I use to love music and now I hardly get a chance to listen to much of anything. This though is my favouritest song ever, it has been redone heaps and to be honest my speakers don't work at the moment so I am flying a bit blind here. Anyway it is Oooh Child, if I am sad it makes me feel better and if I am happy it makes me feel even happier.

Thanks for your help, the fabulous Miss Hoppo Bumpo
