making time for making :).......

          

not much going on here at the moment...just catching up with things

shed progress has stopped for a while due to a sore tooth... meaning my very small budget was used up on painful dentistry....ouch!

but I am working on getting it finished before the end of the month and then I can move in...yay

(I'll never be seen again!!!!)

so having a bit of time to myself again...means making again and that makes me very happy indeed...

........some new little garlands for the shop

the cogs are turning in my tiny mind...new ideas...projects....more time...more time :)

Hope you're having a good week...

note added.....as lovely koralee has pointed out 'deerdre' is in fact a he!! oooops any new boy names gratefully received :)

Catching up.....

Fabrics are slowly turning into other things......

some to stay and some to go.....

mixing up the patterns is my favourite bit

and then I stare at them and plan and think.....

but alas no time for staring tonight, our #1 is going on a big cub camp this weekend and when I looked in his bag to see if he had all his equipment all I saw was a toothbrush...2 boxes of mint choc poppets.......Oreo cookies and some fruit pastilles!!!!!!! I guess I've got packing to do :)

have a lovely weekend

The post with lots of pink in it

There is only one day every year when I can get away with this much girliness!!!!

My boys, bless them, indulge me in every way, the pink balloons, the bunting and french fancies (not such a hardship!)

They drink tea in flowery cups and eat pink cakes from the girliest china and sing 'Happy Birthday' in the sweetest voices .................then they go off to talk about bums,bogeys and make mutant lego people!

My prezzies were Fab, I asked for the Julie Arkell book after the lovelyhttp://cocorosetextiles.blogspot.com/ mentioned her work to me........ (see also peeking out the Armstrong and Miller book....signed ......sigh.....I love them.......a lot....)

So I will eek out the girliness for at least the weekend...Have a good one :)

P.s Thankyou so much all for the comments on the last post,I have loved reading them all. Can't wait to see who wins x x x
