I really am sorry that I've not been around but I've so many other 'projects' on the go - ironing, cleaning, cooking ...

I visited my aunt yesterday and one of her friends sent her a handmade calendar with her Christmas card so I though I'd make one for my friend.  I'm going to meet her tomorrow for coffee and exchange pressies.  I hope she likes it!

Wedding Day

Hi folks!  Hopefully I'll get back to being a better blogger now.  Since my granddaughter went home after the school holidays I've been sooooo busy.  We've had new carpets fitted in the hall, stairs, one of the spare bedrooms and my craft room.  Phew, what a lot of shifting furniture and then putting it all back.  I've had a complete rearrangement of the craft room and think it's a lot better now.  Today's been a gorgeous day and I got a load of washing done, out on the line to dry and then ironed - is my halo shining?  I'm just going to post this then toddle off to bed as my back is complaining tonight and I'm up early in the morning as my friend and I are having a day out while our other halves are on the golf course.  Let's hope it's another sunny day.

There are lots of challenges this week with a Wedding theme - I wonder why?  I am going to see my Aunt on Friday.  My cuz is going to be there too so we're having our own little party - any excuse for some fancy food!!!
