Beautiful


I thought I would treat myself so I contacted the lovely Pippa and requested an A6 notebook with a dandelion clock on the front.  Nothing more....just nice and simple.  Well she certainly managed my request.  Just look how gorgeous this is.  It's absolutely perfect for carrying in my bag..not heavy, but sturdy enough to withstand constant hands fumbling around in the bottom of said bag looking for things!  Thanks so much Pippa...perfect again :o)



PS..don't forget the give-away over on my shop blog

A fabulous day

I was booked in for a tattoo at 12 so off I went, on my own, book in bag! I would have a whole 3 hours to myself because of trains, etc. Tattoo took 10mins, so then off I went to grab a sarnie and some piece and quite to read. I sat by the river Humber, which is not the most gorgeous it has to be said, but the Humber Bridge was right in front of me, and the grass hoppers were singing merrily behind me while I read my book and ate my lunch....bliss. Then when I got home there was a parcel waiting for me, and my copy of Mollie Makes. Wanna see what was in the parcel....

...a new keyring, all hand-tooled. It is just fabulous, and made by the oh-so-talented Pippa.


The sun is shining too :o)

Just a quickie

Haven't got the piccies done yet (been too busy this weekend) but I just wanted to show you this new shop from the lovely Pippa. Go take a look :o)

Books



Following the blog of the lovely Pippa, here's some of our books. The above 2 piccies are from my craft shelves in the bedroom - some of our magazines, my crafty books and some of my most precious books.


Here are JJ's books in his bedroom. He's got stacks more in the living room!



These three pictures are our living room wall. There's allsorts of books here, covering a huge
array of subjects, plus all the fiction books too. So many of these have come from library sales, charity shops and bootsales. I'd hate to think how much money we have actually spent on books - worth every penny though.

I can't actually take a picture of Aaron and Nathan's books because we've just had to box them up so the builders can get in their room next week - suffice to say there are many, many boxes now residing in the loft.

Give-away bag







Here's piccies of the give-away bag from my shop, which was won by the lovely Pippa. I have it on good authority that it arrived safely, so I can now show you the piccies.
Next red bag is virtually done so I'll be able to show you that as soon as I know it's landed safely.
Right, off to finish said bag and make some cushions for our splitty.

Winner and knitting


The winner for my website giveaway was drawn at tea-time by my youngest. Pippa, I shall be contacting you regarding your bag.



I got so fed up with the cold weather yesterday I started knitting the scarf with the alpacca wool. I'm doing it the cheat way (knitting with two balls of wool and bigger needles) so it shouldn't take too long! Got 40ish cm done yesterday evening. Back to the san pro and bags after this evening ;-)

A pile of san pro pockets waiting for their inners. Only 10 to go.
