This Week I Have ........

enjoyed my youngest son's 19th Birthday - can't quite believe my baby (10lb baby he was!) is now 19 and well over 6ft tall.


........ enjoyed seeing these beauties open up.


.... got fatter because I have eaten Birthday cake on Monday and then on Tuesday made some of Lucy's Oatie Biscuits ..


and them ate most of them myself!!! scrummy!

...... felt sad when I heard about the death of Elspeth Thompson.


..... loved reading lots of blogs - the success of Mrs Twins and the lovely blankets she is making, Lucy's beautiful zig zag blanket, to name just two.

.... enjoyed enormously the lovely comments left after my post about my chickens that I had!

 

.... had some new lovely followers join me - Thank you to you all!

.... enjoyed the lighter evenings now the clocks have changed (even though it has not been any warmer)


.... found this sad looking little pot in a charity shop and decided it needed a Decopatch makeover


...... soothed myself with the gentle repetitiveness of this lovely craft


..... was very pleased with the results of the soothing repetitiveness.


.... found a place to stash the easter eggs!

.... decided to go and spend a couple of days with 'Little Kimbles' at her flat near her Uni after Easter,  and do some 'girly' stuff - and may be able to persuade her to make another square for the SIBOL project. So therefore, I may not post until the end of next week.


Hope you all have a great Easter!

Speak soon xx

  4. Great job on the basket! A very nice transformation.

    Why do those boys grow up on us? Mine just turned 10. I can't imagine him being 19. Makes me weepy!

    Have a very Happy Easter!
