Mr & Mrs

Hello!

Sorry I had no post yesterday but time just wasn't on my side.  I'd to go to Edinburgh Airport to pick up my daughter, granddaughter and their friends as they were coming back from their holiday.  I can't believe that the week sped by so quickly but they all had a fabulous time so that was the main thing.

The day before, my friend and I ended up in Haddington at a bead and wool shop ... heaven!  I bought beads and made this bracelet.  I also bought some wool to do some Christmas knitting.

Today I'm meeting my cuz for lunch and as I'm still sitting here in my pjs I'd better get this posted and jump into the shower.  Mr Sunshine is a bit reluctant to show his face today but it doesn't seem to be cold.  As long as there's no rain I'm a happy bunny.

Hugs

Sweet Baby

Evening all!

It's been another busy old day and I'm chasing my tail again!  What a beautiful day it's been and no cold wind for a change.  I was up with the lark this morning, into town for shopping and bits and pieces and home again by 11 o'clock!  The rest of the day has been spent crafting, jewellery making and my most hated of all jobs, cooking!

I've been having a good old rant tonight.  God bless one of my blogging buddies cos she had to listen to it.  Thank you, you know who you are!  To summarise : I placed a crafty order 11 weeks ago and still haven't received it.  I'm saying no more about it at the moment until I see what the reply to my email is but if I don't get any satisfaction, I'm naming and shaming.  I really hate shoddy customer service and I have to say, it's very very rare in the craft world.  Parcels are usually popping through my door almost as soon as I've placed the order.

Anyway, rant over so I'd better show you one of the creations I've made today.

Hugs

Clean & Simple

Hi folks

At last I've got round to sharing a creation with you.  I was out with my Aunt yesterday and by the time I got home I didn't feel too good.  I wasn't so bad when I got up this morning and went out for lunch with my daughter but am beginning to feel a bit poorly again.  My head and the back of my eyes are sore and I'm coughing like a good 'un.  I sincerely hope I've not got the bug that's going around cos it's another one that lasts for ages.  Another early night for me I fear.

Anyway, here's a card for the Saturday Less is More challenge.  The naughty photo fairy has been at work again and the card looks as though it's very squint ... not in real life though, believe me!

Off to make cuppa and take another couple of paracetamol.  NCIS is on shortly so that will keep me occupied until bed time.

Enjoy your evening.

Hugs

Sparkly Fairy

Hi!  I managed to grab a few hours to myself today so I've been crafting and started watching Series 1 of Downton Abbey on DVD.  I hope you all had a lovely Christmas.  Mr C and I spent it with our daughter and her family and we had a great time.  Santa was so good to all of us, we're very lucky.  Although it's not New Year yet I've made a resolution ... I'm doing the inside of my cards as I go along so this one is the first!

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!
