One Layer

Hi everyone!

Wow, looking out the window and I see a few patches of blue sky and no rain!  Yesterday was rotten weather but I had a whizz round with the hoover and duster in the morning and played in the craft room in the afternoon.  The evening was spent knitting watching Dancing on Ice and Mr Selfridge so I enjoyed it!  

Nothing much on the agenda today so I might just get some more time being creative!

Happy Birthday

Hi everyone!

Wow, what a weird day, one minute it's torrential rain and black as night, the next it's sunny and dry again.  At least it's not cold but not a day to hang the washing out.

I enjoyed lunch with my cousin the other day and my daughter popped along to join us as she's still on holiday till the beginning of next week.  It was nice to have a catch up and hear how the youngsters are getting on at Camp America.

Yesterday, Friday, out with Aunt day.  We had a run to Glasgow and as she stays in Auchterarder it doesn't take long to get there since the new road was built.  We only visited the shops in Buchanan Galleries.  There were lots of sales on and my Aunt bought a jacket but unfortunately it was full price ... typical!

I'm doing a bit of catch-up today as Mr C and I are off Thursday-Tuesday to visit friends near Cambridge.  We are looking forward to seeing them again.  This is the first of three jaunts we have planned over the next couple of months so blogging could well be a bit sporadic!

Here's my attempt for today.

Enjoy the weekend.

Hello!

Well, the start of another week and Mr C and I are on the countdown to our holiday.  We are off on 7 March for three weeks and can't wait to get some sunshine (hopefully!).

I woke early this morning so decided to get up rather than lie in bed playing games on my phone!!!  I've still some ironing to catch up on so I'm off to do that before meeting an old school friend for lunch .  We have a catch up every couple of months and today's the day.  It's a beautiful morning,  very frosty but the sun is up and will have defrosted my car by the time I go out!

This is the last of the cards I made on Saturday night.  I love A Day for Daisies images but haven't used them enough.  This one has been paper pieced and I think she's cute.

Have a good day!

Hugs
