31 Days

Woo Hoo!  Way Hey!  I've done 31 days in a row.  Phew!  (Look at the time!)

For the Love of Pinterest

I'm sure I have mentioned Pinterest before.  I can waste hours looking at the fantastic images on there.

This picture made me laugh out loud, given the number of times I have threatened my children with painful death if they used my 'cutting out' scissors.

And this one too, so cute, must see if I can get some of these.

And can we all identify with this?

Well, I Never!

Would you believe it?  I have Won a Giveaway!

Dear Claire at My Little Life, thank you so much!

That was definitely the best thing to happen today.  Work was so boring, only four customers; had a man round to mend the toilet, dried out the floor around said toilet, tried to do some more of Scary's bag but ran out of pink thread and of course it's Bank Holiday so nowhere is open.  Frantic phone call to friend who opens up her shop so that I can get some pink thread!  And here I am doing my blog post at gone 11pm AGAIN.

Think bed is calling.  I'll just go and have a little chat with the hamster and then I think I might have to make myself a hot water bottle!

See you tomorrow!

Surprise!

Look at Scary's belly button!

What can I say?

Miniature

In between making ready for the students today, I have been trying to carry on with my present for Scary.  It is a bag that consists of eight panels and each panel is different.  I am using old sheets, clothes and any odd bits and pieces that I have lying around.

It's coming on but it's taking rather longer than I anticipated.

I have tried some free embroidery (I think this is what you call it) for the first time and I'm reasonably pleased with the result.

I wasn't sure how the bag went together.  I kept reading the instructions and I couldn't visualise it.

So I thought perhaps I needed to make a little practice one before I started putting the big one together.

Does anyone have a Barbie that needs a handbag?
