Well...

I went and got the stuff for the quilt...

To be honest I feel a bit daft, like I've set myself up for a fall. I mean, I know nothing about this and there is no class or anything around for me to run to. Just me and the ton of books I've borrowed from the library. Still I'll give it a go eh? You never know, it just might work.

Aside from that there is little news to give. Easter holidays are progressing along the usual lines - baking, painting, raiding the dressing up box and huge amounts of chocolate. (I am talking about the children now, not me!)
We went to the Gnoll park this morning and ran around in the bamboo. Making dens is the best. Too busy to take pictures, sorry. But it is a brilliant day. High fluffy clouds and bright blue sky. Time to mow the lawn I think, get the kids outside for the afternoon and then they will be too wrecked to hurtle around V when he gets back from work and I pop out to mine.

So must get on...I want to cut the square out and get the embroidery design down so I can make a start on it this evening in work. Work, hah! Can't really call it work can I?

Hope you are having a bright sunshiny day.

This made me laugh

How to grow a beard through sheer will power...




Update 5.15 pm: This made me laugh too...

Man, you would not believe how much time I have wasted on the 'puter today...

Favourite Things

It has been a busy day helping at Rose's school with a felting project that they are working on. It was quite tiring. So I rewarded myself with a huge amount of goodies in the shopping basket this week.
There can't be anything much better in this world than bringing home bags of comfort food. Ginger tea, cream cake, jammy dodgers, sweet smelling bath goodies and Country Living magazine, oh and Green and Blacks Chocolate. Happy day.
I'm off for a hot bubble bath now with a scalding cup of ginger tea and a good nose through the CL special on huts and tree houses.
Hope your evening is as delightful as mine is going to be...

Birthday Giveaway

To celebrate my birthday now that I am somewhat in the land of the living, I am having a little giveaway. Just leave a comment on this post and I'll put your name in a hat for the chance to win a small goodie bag. One of my lovely young assistants will draw it next week. Contents of said goodie bag have not yet been decided but I will have fun picking out some nice things.
