Afternoon all,

Well... it has been a little while since i posted, busy with the holidays... although have been busy with a neddle aswell... have managed to complete two cushions which i think go very well together, our sofa is similar colours to the red and brown one and i love the big button on the beige and brown one which was given to me by my very good friend.

We are off to a bbq at the inlaws this afternoon.. and fingers crossed the weather holds as we are having a bbq tomorrow for our friends and their littl eones too... jess wants the pool uncovered and everyone in! could be very messy!!

Well sorry its short but off to the shops and then onto the bbq... take care and hope you have a good bank holiday weekend.

Take care Tabs xx

Busy week

 Morning,

Sorry not been on to post for over a week but my lovely little one has had lots of appointments so has been keeping us very busy... she is waiting for a new liver so she has lots of check ups, we hd to pop to london yesterday for her check up at kings hospital and although we were a bit apprehensive as her appointment was a 4pm everything was good... but she is doing "a" ok so back to the waiting game (been 8 months now due to the type of transplant she needs).

Anyway... onto more crafty things... yes.. still have lots of projects on the go and i am trying to get in the mind set to finish them all.. but this is one that i have finished... it is a striped cuchsion that i think turned our quite nice... it ook some time as is all DC and with the colour changes etc but kept the back plain, it loos a different blue... must be the light but is is the same blue as on the front of the cushion... and have started my dad and mums blanket for christmas to send to Australia... have chosen red, white and blue... very patriotic, and have decided to do granny suares which i think is much more time consuming than continually going round like i did previously for my gran but i think it will look great as the clours are lovely and bright.

Well had better get a diddle on as we have some appointments this afternoon and then we are appointment free until we are back to school.. always nice,

take care and hope you have  a great weekend

Pretty Buttons

Morning all,

Just a quick post to show you some lovely buttons i have bought recently, they are so pretty, little wooden ones and now all i have to do is think about what i am going to use them for... so many ideas keep popping into my head!

Hope you all have a good week, we are digging in a vegetable patch in the garden today, excepting lots of mud from our 9 yr helper plus some extra from our 2 little ones ( a pug and westie... great combination)
