Another Adventure

Well...he asked a couple of weeks ago, then changed his mind once we were at the barbers, but since his brother had his done he mentioned it again.  So, today we have been for his first hair cut!  JJ's hair was way past his shoulder blades but he wanted hair he could spike up...like Tray Cool from Greenday!  He looks soooo different.  I'm not used to him with short hair at all.  My babies have all grown up!

On a different note entirely..I got to thinking about the things we say, or don't say when asked to give an opinion on something.  The book review I did for the book people has been bothering me since I posted it.  I had to send it to them for checking so I didn't really give my full opinion for fear of...I don't know what really.  Whats the point of doing a review if I'm not going to be honest?!  So now I'm going to be honest but I shall put it here as I already had the original one checked by them.

I was disappointed with the book.  I actually gave the original one away that I bought for myself as it was disappointing and Kirsty irritated me with the TV programme.  She didn't really seem as if she wanted to do half the crafts she did so I never even finished watching the series.  The book is beautiful, but as an actual useable craft book I didn't feel as it inspired me to do anything. 

There, that feels better.  It made me laugh when I opened the parcel from The Book People to be confronted with the book again, but hey ho!

I'm still here!!

No need to send out a search party...life is just completely bonkers at the minute ;o).  I thought learning to drive would make my life easier and give me more time, but in reality it's opened up so many doors for me that I actually have no time to waste any more.  It's fab I tell you...just fab!

The adventures then.  The first two pictures are from our few days at Center Parcs.  We had a very full week, with ducks, moorhens, pheasants, squirrels, great tits and pidgeons visiting us at the door in a morning.  The squirrels used to listen for the door opening and then come and stand on it's back legs with its front feet up on the glass if there was no food.  They move too fast when you want a picture, hence the photo from a distance ;o).  We were back on the Friday ready for my first ever craft fair on the saturday. 

Here's a piccie of my stall.  I need to get some proper stands to hang things on now, as I've got at least 4 more fairs in the next few months.

And just because I'm British, here's the obligatory snow picture for you.  Not a patch on last year, but now I'm driving I don't think I'm that bothered to be honest ;o).

Hopefully it won't be as long before I'm sharing more adventures with you all.

Another Week

 (Orange Scrub Soap)

 (Mandarin, Cinnamon and Clove Soap)

Not necessarily adventures in the normal sense but we've definitely been busy!  We had our annual home education inspection, which went really well.  I've been busy making lots of soap for my first craft fair adventure (you can see more about that over on my other blog)....now I can concentrate on the sewing side of things.  We've also had JJ in hospital for a little op...he was very brave and is home today so he can recover a little.  I know he would rather have been at school as he loves it so much!

The First Adventure

A year for adventures.  Here's the first one!  JJ decided months ago that he wanted to go to school.  Today is the first day.  I was excited.  Now I'm nervous.  He was very excited.  I know I've got loads to do today to keep me busy.  I'll probably get none of it done.  Roll on three o'clock!
