Bunting and Daffs........

Hello folks. Sorry I've neglected you all this weekend, I've been really busy. I went to Stockbridge on Saturday with hubby, but was a bit disappointed. Not much there and what was there was very expensive, I mean £70 for one cushion is just ridiculous. Saturday night I went over my friends for a party so had a late night and was up again at 5.30am to go to London to Hugglets. More on that in a minute.

I finished stitching my bunting yesterday and here it is. I'm pretty pleased with it, and want to make more now.

Here's a couple of pics of the daffs my neighbour bought over for me on Friday, they're so pretty, and it really feels like Springs in the air when I see daffs.

Well back to Hugglets, which is the bear fair in Kensington. As you all know my sister in law makes lovely artist bears and we had a stall at the fair. I was amazed at just how busy the fair was, considering we're in a recession, the place was jumping. I forgot to take my camera, but my SIL is going to e-mail me some pics to put on here. I was quite good and didn't buy a bear, but I did get some small pieces of fabric with tiny print on, which is great for patches and stuff.

Also got these lovely buttons for my crafting projects. They are hand made and lovely. I think the ducks are my favourite.

This little collection of mother of pearl vintage buttons cost £2.50, bargain!

and I couldn't resist this little fella. The lady that makes the buttons also makes these.

We got diverted going to London as the A3 was shut aarrrhhh, but managed to get there on time thankfully. We were stuck in loads of traffic on the way home too, so didn't get home until nearly 8pm. By that time I was knackered, so put my PJ's on, watched Larkrise to Candleford and went to bed. I still feel really tired today, but theres so much I want to do.

Thats all for now folks catch you later.

Indoors Day.......

For Bex my button stash....

It's been too cold to venture out today, we've even had a bit of snow for a while this afternoon and more snow is forecast overnight. My cold has freshened up again today, and I've still got a bad cough. Am I ever going to be free of this lurgy? I've been poorly since the beginning of November and just can't seem to shift it. I think working with children has got something to do with it. So I had a bath this morning but couldn't be bothered to wash my hair it can wait until tomorrow, I've not applied a scrap of makeup and I've worn my old comfy clothes all day. I've spent a fair bit of time on the pooter and the rest of the time sewing with my Merlin DVD on. I've made these today and a few other bits for the giveaway. Bekimarie, I will be posting your goodies tomorrow, so keep an eye out for the Postie.

I went back onto the CK website to check out the bags again, and it appears that the messenger bag is unavailable at the moment, so I ordered myself the bucket bag. I guess the other one being out of stock made my mind up for me. Although, when I say ordered, I think I've ordered it. I had no confirmation e-mail like I normally do, so I e-mailed them today and I'm waiting for them to get back to me. I'm also STILL WAITING for the Laura Ashley fabric I ordered over a week ago. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, I will be chasing that up as well, I need it to make some bunting. :o(

I'm sitting here thinking oh bu**er its Monday tomorrow, and the weekends flown by and I really don't want to go to work tomorrow :o(. I'd love a few months off to get the house looking how I want it and to make all the crafts that are whizzing around my head constantly. I find myself saying, ''where does the time go'' and ''it only felt like yesterday'' and ''blimey that time already'', an awful lot lately. Is this the same for everyone or is it just me?

As I don't have many pics to show you today, I thought I'd finish with a picture of our dinner, (like you do), Tuna Pasta Bake. We haven't had this in ages and it was scrummy.

Hope I haven't bored you to death. (((((hugs)))) Pixiedust xxxx
