Yawwwwwwnnnnnn....

Ohhh I was very tired yesterday, felt very groggy all day. Didn't get much done, but managed to have a yummy roast chicken for dinner, so that helped. I was even too tired to play with all my new lovely papers that arrived (now that is a worrying sign!). I do have to take a pic of a LO I finished over the weekend, will try and do that later.

Hopefully I will fair better today. I have my last class of this term, then we are on a break for Easter. Not that I will get to put my feet up, I am off down to Birmingham next week for next lot of training!

My next SA parcel should come today ..... exciting, exciting!
Ok, I had better go and see what Ethan is up too... he is very quiet (which usually = naughtiness!!)

Beba's is the best!

I'm having a lovely scrappy day today, got my cousins dance show this evening, so I'm just hanging out scrapping this afternoon... great fun.

I got my jenni bowlin order from US this morning, can't wait to have a play. Here is a LO I have just finished .. the title says it all. This is by far the best hangover cure I have ever found, believe me, I have spent many years trying ... but a fresh orange and mushroom omelette at Beba's corner in Petra (my favourite place in the WHOLE world), is the BEST!! 105 days and we will be there yayyyyyyyy!

Chores ....

Got a load of chores done today, just got to do a trip to Asda, oh joy! I am going to go up while E is at nursery, so I have peace to browse and shop ..... he wont mind, as long as I bring him the promised toy home (he always gets at toy when we do the monthly shop, part bribery, part reward!!).

Here is also a LO I finished last night, I really loved using these stamps, I always forget about stamping and I have millions of them... really should let them see the light of day more often!! Hope you are all enjoying the lovely day.. it is really sunny here and I feel very bright! So bright in fact, that some yummy papers from Sarah's Cards accidentally fell into my basket!

Happy Days....

Had another lovely few days, mainly just chilling and hanging out with Ethan. I have also been approached by a local nursery to come and teach staff and babies, baby sign, so have had a bit of work to do for that.

Got some more stash coming from over the pond ... well it was mostly Jenni B and it was 30% off, so it was a total bargain, and I obviously HAD to! Plus got some me yummy bits from the shop o Hils yesterday .... excellent prices me dear, hee hee and thanks for the Reeces Nutrageous.... a little bit of chocolate heaven, you're an angel!

I have been tinkering with a couple of LOs today .... doing a bit of scrapping before we get our next SA assignment. For some reason I seem to have been scrapping more pictures of me recently ... v odd .. I'm obviously getting used to my ugly mug, hee hee!

Oh check out Miss Katy's stunning new blog, a superstar in the making me thinks .....

Anyway, better go and snuggle with E, as my brother is coming for him soon. He is spending the night as I have a baby sign session at the library tomorrow morning, so they are watching him for me. Wooo hooo a free night!!!

1950's Housewife ....

That is who I am channelling right now ....!

I have been working on my kitchen this week and it nearly done (having run out of paint I just need to do a wee second coat to the dining room wall at the end of the kitchen), just the lino to go down and tiling to be done .... But I couldn't resist putting up all the accessories etc!

The kitchen is entirely based around my red Le Cruset pans, I have 3 white and one red wall and it looks fab. So the theme is red and white .....think red gingham aprons, a la Doris Day! It has been great, Ethan and I had pancakes for breakfast and I made a load of chutney for the store cupboard!

I have gone a bit mad on the red accessories front, but it has been fun. I still have a couple of bits to get this week .. red wall clock and 2 red lamp shades for the pendant lights. I have just finished my first wall hanging for the kitchen to go on one side of the window.. it says 'HOME', the second is similar, although I think I am going to put either 'LOVE' or 'COOK' .. here are some pics ... I am off to play house!

Don't you just love it ...

..... when you look out of the window in the morning and the most glorious blue sky greets you!? The change in the weather makes me feel so much brighter, happy, positive .. i love the sun, the fun days, the positivity of it all ... makes me feel so much more energised! Ethan and I are heading down to the park/beach after nursery ... we might even walk a little bit further to one of our favourite spots ... the harbour-masters cafe ... yummy cakes! Although I seriously need to go on a diet... all these bacon sarnies of late (a moment on the lips ... a life time on my mummy belly, lol!).

I have quite a lot on my To Do list to complete while he is at nursery so will keep my head down and plough through it, I love crossing things off my list! But I am bound to get distracted, as I have a large photobox order and some yummy stash due to arrive this morning, oh dear!

Enjoy this sunny day!

Painting faries needed .... apply within!

Nothing much going on here .. I have been painting my kitchen, as it was seriously bugging me .. just need to give it a final coat of pain ... although not actually sure when I will find the time now ....

I have baby class today, then we are going up to my brother and sister in laws for dinner (lots of yummy Joshua time!!) ... tomorrow I need to finish my SA Write up and get it in the post... then E and I are off to the library and then the dreaded ASDA. Then thurs I am busy and hopefully we will be having dinner with Hils and Stru, then Friday I am running an event for the YWCA and then Jody and I are going for lunch .......

Maybe I could paint in my sleep, lol!
