musical making

 The girls school put on the most amazing musical every year, where the children write, perform, record and produce the songs and then stage the end of year musical... CD's for sale and all, simply heart warming...

So the mamas got to work yesterday to do some making of the costumes...

Just part of it .... still more to come....

 all different colored birdy wings for the little uns of the school....

 Just so happens, that one of the mamas has her very own little country craft retreat nestled in the green hills. A perfect little spot for busy mama hands, just three sets, working madly - cutting, dying, sewing & chatting on the sunny sunny day we had.

sweet little hats, all 20 of them sewn up with two mamas, two machines and a whole lot of gusto in approximately 15 minutes ( school pick up was looming....) the other mama was busy offering encouragement and tying the ribbon...

We marveled and gave each other a big pat on the back at the end of the day....

I have to say it - us girls, mamas, goddesses - whichever you class yourself as, can achieve so much together - amazing....

Oh and I forgot it at the time, but must mention now... yesterdays post was my 100th... Oh White Verandah, how i wish we could have celebrated together with a glass of bubbly, you and me, sitting...together....Instead I will stand in the mud tomorrow where you should be standing (and soon will be or else...) and toast my 100th post.. Big thanks to all of you gorgeous people that are coming along for the ride, I sincerely hope you are finding it enjoyable - I am, at times, censoring so much of the stressful, yukky, whingey bits to make your ride more pleasurable - enjoy xxxxx

And a picture of the kitchen yesterday before i go - I took 56...but i'll just share one..
