One of those!

It certainly has been one of THOSE days!!! Im sure starting anew somewhere is calling us now even more...
I feel drained and unsure and fed up but okay, if you know what I mean. I feel decisions now need to be made for all of us as a family and soon...
So to cheer me up, here is my 365 days post - and its actually todays Day 138

The prompt is He[art], I felt that this fitted as the heart cutters create art through baking, and inside the package is made for love...! Show that later once opened...
Thats it for me today, off to finish a project, thats if Riley stays asleep long enough.

Top or Bottom!!!

This afternoon I was making lunch, and I found myself in a spot of bother! Why is it we have a certain routine for things.. take this for exampleNow the egg was done before the bacon!! but I could not bring myself to put the egg on the muffin first!! Why is that... It HAD to be the bacon first then the egg... bit like which came first the chicken or the egg!
So what would you do if it was you!!! lol :) Something to think about lol


As for this little kitty - oooh she's off to a new home shortly - she's even packed her case look.

Took Riley to Mums and Tots today, its actually a really nice group (I had a bad experience with one local group! Never again I thought, I couldnt get out of there quick enough) loads for the kiddies to do, Riley especially loves the biscuit time! lol

I have a few things on the go at the moment, a finished project to show you tomorrow!
I wonder what this is going to be!!!

Watch out Robin Hood!!

Private joke that!! lol Cazz you'll know what I mean... lol :)

Here is my little fella having his first go at Archery with the beavers, he was very excited bless him.I am so proud of my little fella, every day he comes out with something new and he is getting more confident, with a little push lol bless... Love im...

Tuesday night is weigh in night!!! Eek I was dreading it but I managed to lose 1.5 pounds, but I just looked on it as losing what I'd gained last week :( but an achievement in itself I suppose, back on the plan again tomorrow and a few sneak peeks of my first DT project but sssh its a secret. :)

Baking - Me...

Yep thats right, I've been baking!!! Nappy cakes that is!! Lots of new ones for my website.
I had a good chat (with myself! lol) about the craft fairs I was doing and no matter how much i enjoyed doing them, they just are not cost effective and obviously my means of sales is really via the Internet word of mouth and friends/relatives.
I'm doing a baby fair which is local and will hopefully promote the fact that I make nappy cakes and also sell premature clothing - fingers crossed. A leaflet drop is also in order me thinks.
Speaking of baking though you have to go check this blog out Bakerella like WOW wow wow

Huge spring clean today, so busy busy little ole me...

Scoff the lot!!!

Been up the allotment this morning, planted more potatoes, earthed others up, planted me courgettes and tomatoes covered them in a cloche - Loving every minute of it... :)

Thought I'd share these from the other night! The boys were enjoying these ALOT...
Well Jack was, Jake was too busy posing lol bless him.

Exciting...

... about to burst I can now tell you that I made it onto the design team over at Easy Craft Projects woo hoo.... I've already started on my first project, so watch this space.

Today saw the sunniest day in a looooong time. Off we toddled to Fermyn Woods Country Park with friends in tow and had a super duper day, and hour and a half of walking!!! lunch and playtime. When I say playtime, I mean mega play - lol - there was no one else there so I found it in myself to have a go on the bungee type swing, hehehehehe - giggling with joy so I went back for seconds :)

On the walk we found some gorgeous areas which were just covered in bluebells, how gorgeous are these
Erm cant really see them too well for some reason on this photo, but you get the gist yeah!
and this little fella had the right idea, a good dip in the pool!!!Off to the beavers AGM tonight, so hopefully a fun evening to be had by all.

Spiral...

Thats the word today for HS-MS here's my take on itWe've always got tools hanging around the house and garden!! Drives me nuts... but at least I've got a handyman kinda fella so I suppose I cant complain entirely.

I made this stitchery which I think is kinda cool, its up for sale on my website now.Finally Wicket walked on his lead, just around the block but better than lying down and flatly refusing to move the other day eh! lol

Thought I'd end by sharing another puddy cat of mine - Apollo - (all three cats are brothers from the same litter they are nearly nine years old!)Its 'phat' club night tonight and unless a miracle can happen between now and weigh in I dare say I have NOT lost at all!! Oh well - on doing I suppose.
Just so annoying, I have a hen night in four weeks and a wedding in six!! Come on that should be enough motivation shouldn't it! :) x

HS-MS and I give up!!! :)

HS-MS today is viewI've cheated today as this was taken last year on our holiday to Cornwall, this was the view from our bedroom window - so peaceful.

Today I had another craft fair, and well to be honest I give up, I've added to my stall so its not just cards, its altered art, hand sewn items and more - but still handmade crafts are a struggle to sell at fairs. So for now its nipped in the bud and hopefully I'll just do a few at Christmas. So disheartening but hey - must plod on as we do.

Right off now, back laters...

S.O.S

I haven't really contributed to Her space My space for some time, as my camera was just playing up so bad, but now I feel I can start again.
S.O.S is Show off Sunday
As far as I'm concerned there are three gorgeous cats in the whole wide world and I have all three of them! What a coincidence eh! This is LouieBless him, he use to be such a 'filled' out cat until about six years ago when he was really poorly with gastroenteritis and nearly died, now he's alot 'slighter' and with a lot less teeth! Poor baby...
Yesterday I spent three hours in total at the allotment, and came home and re sowed some seedlings. Today I was at the allotment for 8.45am, finally pulling out the rest of the 'ingrown' carpet and filling in the gaping hole its left! Home again to sow more seeds, so my lovely jubbly grow house is now full to the brim!!! Enjoying it greatly and cannot wait to get my first harvest.. well fingers crossed
