Good morning to all my blogging friends. Last week was rather hectic for me as many of you will already know. We had headed down to a gorgeous B and B near Trowbridge for the week and while we were down there my darling hubby and I met up with some very special friends.
You will have seen this pic on the other blogs but it is such a happy pic I just have to share it too. I'm the beached whale on the left [the weight is going!!!!], next is the love of my life, then Jan, Di and last but by no means least Julia of course. I feel like I've known them for ever and it was really special to meet them all for real....Thank you girls for making me feel so very welcome.
Di came with a bag full of goodies. Just look at the gorgeous candle and magnetic book mark with my fav poppies on and she gave me two advent calendars to make for my grandchildren. Thanks so much Di. You really are a gem.
When we got back from our hols this gorgeous parcel full of goodies was waiting for me all the way from Egypt. I won it over at Roudi's blog and will have lots of fun playing with it....I have already put some of the ribbon to good use in the photo below. Thanks Roudi for pulling my name out.
The other thing I want to share today is a pic of my oldest granddaughter Phoebe on Sunday night....she had to try on her new school uniform for Nanny Annie to see what a big girl she is now....where has that time gone?
My first job on being back at work on Monday was to sew labels on all of Phoebe's school uniform....Oh happy memories of doing the very same job for her mummy, what seems like only weeks ago!
As you can see her uniform is grey with purple cardigans and Amy has really struggled to find hair accessories in purple so of course I spent Sunday morning making her some.....
Here are her newly made hair pretties and of course she needed somewhere to keep them all so I popped over to Louise's blog at Sew Scrumptious for inspiration and I made her a hanger to keep them all safe. Thanks Louise for the inspiration.....and of course thank you to Roudi for just the perfect pink ribbon the make it with. :-) :-)
I had one very happy little girl when she saw it all. :-) :-) :-)
- 3 guilotines [2 for cutting and 1 for scoring]
- Martha Stewart deep edged lace punch
- 3 fold cards for the invites
- white pearlised paper
- lots of pink card
We started 9.30 and finished after 5 with only a half hour lunch break but we had a lovely girly day full of laughter and tears [Gina shared with me their chosen first dance....it's just perfect].
Life should be full of days like that :-)
Thank you to you all for calling by and leaving such lovely comments. I'm sorry if it's rather a long post but I did have rather a lot I wanted to share :-)
I wasn't able to leave you all comments last week while we were away but I did get to read most of your blogs.....I promise to do better this week.
