They do make me laugh!!

They drive me mental sometimes, as my friends will tell you, but Mr Chops and Mr B both make me laugh.  Poor Mr Chops had a bad dream so came into our bed all upset and tearful this morning.  I couldn't really work out what it was all about but it seems something bad happened to his brother and he was very upset.  Mr B joined us later and received a huge hug and affection from Mr Chops.  Now, Mr B is a great lover of all things huggy and kissy and to receive this from his much adored big brother so unexpectedly was just a dream come true for him.  He though he would chance his arm when they had come down for breakfast but this was clearly step to far for Mr Chops who held up his hand and announced...'The moment is over'...poor Mr B :(  He'll have to live off that piece of brotherly affection until the next bad dream!

Giveaway...

I have probably left  this too late but if you look here there is a rather lovely giveaway.  I love both these shops...The Ribbon Girl is run by an online friend and her mum and they could not be more helpful.  These fairy charms are just gorgeous and I have one to have a play with for some new designs :D

Brrr.....

it's chilly - minus 4 when I attempted to de-ice the car this morning.  I gave up...we.walked...we slid...we (well, me) appreciated the frost and the scenery.  I don't think the rabbits do though.  I have hardly seen them for days as they are tucked up in their cosy shed.  Well, cosy for rabbits....can't say it would be my abode of choice.  Bit too draftly. And this weather is too cold for poor Miss Jessica's bones.  She is, after all, an old lady.  I know how she feels!

So for today....envelopes to address, washing to put away, cardigan to continue knitting, and a kitten to look after :D  She fetches apparently.  Maybe we could teach her some new tricks.  Making a cup of tea would be a good one :D

Not seen any of these in my garden this year :(  So I have resorted to making my own :D

Oh my life indeed...

If you knew how long it has taken me to change the background and header on this blog you would tell me not to waste my time - I haven't done it that well!!  But I have done it and it is all a learning curve.

So, yesterday spend wrapping presents and today I MUST get my Christmas cards done.  The ones to the States went, almost, on time, but I hear there are sever delays and it doesn't look like easing so they may well get those in the New Year.

It is absolutely pouring down with rain here so it is hard to find the Christmas spirit...but I must...off to write.......

Too long...

It's been too long since I last wrote here and much has been done.  There has been lots of sewing, a little knitting, much singing (I never expected to be in a gospel choir I can tell you!), lots of card making, some teaching, some craft organising, writing of the christmas cards although not finished yet, ordering of christmas pressies, girlies day (hey, Kazebo...we actually managed to make some things!!!), receiving of christmas parcels, lots of blog reading, entertaining, sorting, hoovering, garage visits with the car (again!!) and lots of other mummy/housewife/teacher/crafty person things...but not many photos...at all...I am a disgace...but I will try better.....

I did manage to get photos of this though....


 An almost finished wall hanging for William


Cute little button on his bum!

I just have to put the sleeve on the back for the hanger and it will be finished.

Oh yes...a small milestone for my shop...2 international sales :D  Both to the U.S and bith bird pictures...very pleased with myself.  I also approached a gift shop in one of the local villages today and she said she would be interested in some of my hair accessories in the new year....things are looking good :D
