Just a quick post to let you know I am still alive.  I have been doing a few craft things but I don't know how to get the photos off my blackberry playbook.  I think I might have a lead somewhere to link it to the laptop but it has probably been packed.

Mothering Sunday


I forgot to take a photo of the card I made for my mum. This is the card I made for my hubby to send to his mum. Happy Mothering Sunday to you both.
I had a lovely visit from my eldest son bearing gifts and a phone call from the youngest. (The pressies were from both of them). Thanks boys. I love you and am proud to be your mum.

Love is...



Bacon Roses!!! I saw these on Pinterest last year and thought they would make the best present for hubby on Valentines day. The little gift was a packet of Gaviscon.

Christmas secret santa present.













As I have said before, once a month there is a crop near Weston-Super-Mare that I try to go to. Each Christmas we have a secret santa present swap. For Christmas 2010 I received a beautiful vintage style sewing kit. Last Christmas I got a button box that goes with it perfectly. It contained a selection of bought buttons, some homemade buttons and best of all, chocolate buttons! (They aren't in the tin anymore).

Visiting Cornwall







Here is a picture of my son with his fish ad chips which he did manage to get through with a little help from his Grandad and dad. Afterwards hubby and son did their ritual of visiting Falmouth docks which they both love!!!

Grease is the Word



Had a great night out last Friday with some friends at a sing-a-long-a-Grease night.

Hello







Gosh, where does the time go? As usual my life has been a bit hectic. We had a lovely weekend visiting friends in Lincolnshire and going to the Christmas market at the beginning of December. We also visited the Birmingham Christmas market where we finally found a print that we both loved. The artist is called Stan Kaminski. Here is his site.




The photos are of a project I did at Hayley's. (Stampin up Hayley). I love her monthly workshops. Well worth attending if you are anywhere near Swindon.
