Sew Sew in the 70's

I got to have the lovely sew sew girls over a few weeks ago, the day was so damn hot though, we all sat out on the deck and worked. I am so not feeling crafty lately, but have almost finished the little cardigan I started that day for one of my nieces, will have to get buttons this week so I can finish it off. 

The next Sew Sew day is at Cath's place next weekend and I won't be able to make it as our middle child is turning 17 that weekend, but tonight I was feeling nostalgic, looking through old photos and I found this.....

... the caption on the back reads Marie, Ida, Alice, Vera and Kit, taken 1st March 1972, craft and morning coffee at Ida's. Ida was my Nanna, that's her 2nd from the left in the photo. The photo was taken in her sunroom, and they must have had a blitz on those bloody shell covered terracotta pots. I still have some she made, maybe they multiplied in the dark under her house where lots of them ended up sitting, or maybe she was a prolific shell mosaic-er (I suspect the 2nd theory...she really had them EVERYWHERE!) 

Aren't the orange soft furnishings so....70's. I have been smiling at this photo all night, what lovely memories! And now I get to be a part of making those memories all over again....I'm loving Sew Sew sundays, Cath you are a goddess!
