Shopping

I went shopping this morning. Millie at nursery, the boys at school. I put all the shopping away. Millie came home at lunchtime (having eaten at nursery), said she was hungry and immediately spotted new yogurts in the fridge. Then the crips. Boys came home from school, and are barely in through the front door before they have decended on the kitchen cupboards like locusts. They have a feeding frenzy. Then my husband wonders where all the food has gone, and what it is that I've spent all the grocery money on? I do keep telling them the food has to last all week, until I next go shopping - but they just keep spotting new packets of food they can eat. And thus, food disappears at an amazing rate.

Resin Jewellery

Here are a couple of bangles I made from resin


and some sterling silver cufflinks with resin. Made the silver bit a while ago, but only got round to putting the resin in yesterday!

Was fun to play with! I have a couple of other bits that I made, but they need more work on them before they are finished.

More Cards

I have a sprained ankle this week, at my step class.Didn't seem too bad at the time, but after driving home, having a shower and finally sitting down for some lunch it was achy, and when I got up after my leisurely lunch it had seized up. Still had children to collect, shopping to put away, ballet class (not me, my 3yr old). By that time it had given up, was very painful, and I couldn't move it, or wriggle my toes. After a visit to the Dr, was advised to go to A&E incase I'd broken a bone. Fortunately not, but was a long wait for me and hub. Lots of rest, no driving, and a few simple exercises. So a few days later, this is what I have produced. I have to admit, the first one I made a few weeks ago, and only just got round to photographing today.

All Stampin Up supplies

The next one uses PTI's button basics set, along with the last 2 - should have put them up in a better order!

This one is another Stampin Up set, and was for my lovely husband, who has been helping me out this week with the children, and cooking etc. It it roughly what we look like - except I never wear dresses/skirts these days (maybe a rare 'occasion')

This last one was for my great friend

Oh, and 4 days later, I'm still hobbling around, and will attempt driving over the weekend!

Summer Holiday Review

Well the summer holidays are almost over. The last few days, in which name tags need to be attached to clothing (I had high hopes of doing this as the clothes were bought), bookbags need to be replenished - new folders were purchased last week, pencil cases the week before. The horrendous expense of shoes has to be suffered (2 pairs school shoes, plus trainers, plus new shoes and wellies for the little pink one). PE bags need to be filled. Order, and routine will once again return to the weekday mornings - ok, shouting and rushing around will.

We've had fun. Been on a sub-marine (out of water), down a coal mine, to the beach, played with the waterslide - though not nearly enough, its not really been warm enough. The boys and Millie have enjoyed playing with their bikes - you can see the route they take round the garden, where the grass has been flattened. We've had sunny days in the park, at childrens farms (and saw brand new born that day peacocks, hiding under a trampoline).

So when I reflect back, its been good. We've the library to visit before school starts (or there will be fines to pay), and perhaps a final day trip out.....

I have a follower!

OMG I have 1 follower. I've never noticed before. Hellooooo! Apologies for not noticing you before now. I thought mayby it might have been a friend when I saw it there, lurking, the little thing that says '1 follower'. And its not. I don't know you, and its really exciting. (see how little exciting stuff there is in my lovely little world).

Cleavage!

Went to our local archeological dig with the little people on Wed with a friend. Had a good day, lovely weather, and children and adults enjoyed themselves. Was taking a photo of my friend and messing about, so took a photo of her cleavage. She then took one of mine. (I win by the way).

I had included her face in her photo - she just concentrated on the boobs!


So got her to take a second photo of me. I kind of like it - its actually quite a nice one of me.

Sorry, you weren't expecting me to put more photos of my lovely children up when theres cleavage to be oggled were you?

New Shoes

Some fun - made these shoes from Stamp with us template - quick, fun and easy to do! Asked Millie to try them on - but she wants a bigger pair!
