Autumnal

Well the winter is definately coming, the weather is getting decidedly chilly, which I kinda dont really mind, I get fed up with continual hot sun for months on end, I love wearing my jeans & boots & today I have on a beanie which isnt usually me, but now I'm a soccer mum standing out in the mist & fog at 8.30 on a sunday morning I felt the occassion warranted it, fortunately Kenya's team always win so all is not lost. Today she got player of the week, great for her but not for me as I have to wash all the shirts!!  

I do love the crispiness of the Autumn leaf fall &

all the gorgeous colours although the trees look really

bare & sad but the garden is looking great at the moment & the grass is nice & lush. The lemon tree

has an abundence of fruit & all my suculents are loving the cooler weather.

 

Even more gappy

The next day after my last post about the wiggly teeth low & behold 2 more came out on the same day, one at gymnastics (if you please) & the other later on while I was brushing her teeth, the tooth fairy was very busy that night & had very empty pockets!! she looks so cute though with no teeth at the front, my baby is growing up x

Little Miss Gappy

Milli has had 3 really wiggly teeth for ages & ages, they just don't seem to want to budge, then finally the other day with a bit of help from Dad one front one suddenly popped out, that night she put the tooth under her pillow & drifted into her slumber with the hope that the tooth fairy will visit in the night & as if by magic she did!! she had even made the glass of water pink....now we are waiting for the other one's to come out which hopefully wont be long, as she looks a little like Nanny Mcphee!!

Pariotic

Well its been a week since 'THE WEDDING' & I'm still feeling very patriotic...It was a wonderful wedding with all the pomp & ceremony that only the British do best!! shame Posh couldnt smile at least once, if I was there I would have been beaming from ear to ear, she doesn't realise how lucky she is.. I hope they have a long & happy life together, I saw her on the tv today shopping at waitrose, bit different from her big day only a week before.

Thankyou Geraldine for all my souvenirs, I will cherish them x

 When I was little I had a blue story book, with a different story for every day of the week, I loved it & I can still picture my mum sitting on my bed reading to me everynight, miraculously I have ended up with the book along with a few others, equally as fab, one of them is from A Janet & U Michael & was given to me in 1972. I too sit on the girls beds & read them the same story books, which they too love listening to, I guess that not much changes if you give your children the same simple values in life xx

Childhood memory's

Flea Market Finds

Look at the precious gems I picked up from Trash n Treasure last sunday, We saw that the markets were still open even though it was Easter & we went for a nose, there wasn't many stores, but this week it was quality not quantity!! & I only spent $10.20, well happy, A gorgeous Moroccan looking bowl in muted yellows, greens & browns, the yellow book has a hand crafted elephant on the front with rustic pencil & hand made paper pages inside. I gave the "how to crochet" dvd to my lovelie friend Jo, who is dying to learn...lets hope she can make me a granny square blanket in no time at all!! & a gorgeous beachy basket to carry it all home in, fab x



My goodies!



Have made a tote bag with the 20c tea towel, quite pleased with the result x

Latest creations

These are my latest achievements from my sewing class, the pouch I made for my friend Ana to keep her travel documents in, I also made the button at pottery " Gee I'm talented!!" I'm doing another one for her too but smaller. The tote bag is a present for my mum's birthday, shopping, libary bag, I love going, shame its only every fortnight, it seems a long time between classes.
