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.

Me on a Segway

Over the half term, hubby and I had a few nights away in Brugge. It was a wonderful break though very expensive because of the Euro exchange rate. I think the highlight was doing a tour on a Segway.

Bet you thought I had given up on this blog!!

I have no excuse other than I have discovered Pinterest and it is so addictive that I spend almost every spare minute browsing it.

I do have to load some photos so I can show you what I have been making. I need to do a layout of my dads wellies. The photo shows them stuck in the mud and they are still visible at every low tide.

Smash book

A friend on the Crafts by Carolyn forum posted a video on these and then someone else added a link on how to make them so I thought why not.
