Easter Hols

Well not a lot went on for me over the 2 weeks I had off except for plenty of catching up on housework and things like that.  I did lots of chilling out.  I managed to finish this blanket which is a little lap blanket for a little elderly lady with a big heart.  I hope she likes it..  Her favourite colour is purple and I think I have got enough of it in there.  I used bonus wool made by Robin as Style Craft never had the colours i wanted.  The pattern I used was from a book I own called Granny Squares by Susan Pinner.  I slightly adapted it to what I needed and here you go.

Back to work tomorrow yippppeeee!!!  See you next week x

Welcome home

It’s been a while hasn’t it?  Well life has got so hectic in the last year, my feet haven't had a chance to touch the ground.  I am hoping I am more settled I can get back to doing what I love most.

So I got myself a full time job, at the school back in September becoming a Behaviour Mentor, which is ironic really seen as I don’t behave that well. BWAHAHA!!  I am still learning the job and I guess it will take me a while but I am a lot more settled in it than I was in September 13.

November I had a little scare and had a small operation to help me out a bit.  All is well now thank fully..

I haven’t stop being creative I just haven’t had the time too get it all photographed and blogged. so hopefully more of that too come.

I miss my blog and my bloggy friends.

fiasco of birthday’s

Summer is here! OH YEAH! YEEEEHAWWWW!  Are you happy?  Well thanks for asking but no, the heat is my nemesis lol.  Warm I can do, hot is a big no, no.  I get all sticky and puffy and sweaty and smelly and tired and bothered and BURNED lol!  Other than that I have had a really upside down week.   Charlie celebrated his 20th birthday, Sonny celebrated his 16th birthday.  I celebrated cried at my credit card statement bwahahahahahaha…

On top of all the fiasco of birthday’s I made a few cards and a crocheted pursed.

{This is for my Aunty Chris}

{This for my friend Gina}

I didn’t do the boys one this year as they don't really DO birthday cards any more lol.  I used promarkers to colour them in and Tiddly Inks Fayth Stamps <3 Tiddly ..

Now this purse slightly off balance I know, but it was my first attempt, which as you all know mum gets the try outs lol…  Don’t tell her though.  I think in hindsight maybe I should have counted how many sew holes there were and then increased to the same diameter as the snap frame.  Hmmmm Yes! I think I will try that was next time?  I think I have way to many stitches.  Just do extra rows?  Oh well try and try and then try again.

A little plug

Hiya all I thought I would share this fabulous offer from The Yvestown Blog.  I must admit I was a bit naughty and purchased a bunch of fabby colours.  There are some really pretty colours over there and such a bargain.  Around 85p per 50gr.  Go see for yourself x

Enough Nostalgia….

Is it only me who loves Jimi Hendrix?  I’m sitting chilling out with him warbling in the background as only Jimi can do.  Amazing talented man, such a waste.  Oh well he lives on though his music.

Anyhooo enough nostalgia..  This week has been a tad crazy.  When I say crazy for the most part of it for me it seemed to be Wednesday for a long time bahahahahahaha..  Anyhooo I thought I would share a few goodies that I have been playing with this week.

The top image is from dilly beans and the bottom image is from crafts and me, see iShop for links.  I like to colour these images.  They are not the traditional birthday cards.  I like to do them very plain and simple to take nothing away from the picture either.  I did sprinkle them up with plenty of stickles, as you do when you can’t leave nothing alone lol!   My card muse seems to be on her holidays.  Well who can blame her, it’s not been really fantastic weather has it.

Ahhhh that’s my crafty news for another week.  Yippee!  I hope you all have a fantabby week xx
