Happy Birthday

Hi everyone! I didn't manage to blog yesterday - it was a busy day.  I had to visit someone about wedding stationery and then I went to see my Aunt.  A lovely day was had although the weather was pants.  It's blowing a hoolie here today and there's rain blowing through, methinks a day in the craftroom is in order but I have to add, I've already had the hoover and duster out and the washing machine is on so I don't feel guilty!!!

Be Mine

Hi, early on the go this morning as I'm off out for lunch with my friend then I've to take my granddaughter to the dentist for her second lot of extractions.  Thankfully once she's done today that's her finished for a wee while as the dentist is going to have to wait to see if her adult teeth fall into the spaces or if she's going to need railtracks.  Once finished at the dentist my granddaughter is coming home with me and staying the night.  Mr C is working till midnight so we're going to have a quiet evening to let her get over the trauma, wonder what time she'll be asleep tonight?

Apologies for the poor photo quality as outside it's grey, miserable and a wee bit sleet in the air ... deep joy ... roll on Spain!

Brrr, it's a bit chilly here as well as being grey and miserable.  Looking at the forecast this morning there would appear to be snow just a bit further north - let's hope it stays there for a good while yet.  I've also got the sniffles today and don't want it to develop into a full blown cold so I'm just about to make a cuppa and take a couple of paracetamol to try to stave it off.  I mean, I've got a day out tomorrow with my friend and a bad cold sure can hamper a bit of retail therapy!!!  Mr C is snuggled up in bed as he's on midnight to midday shift and the dog is snuggled up UNDER the bed!!!  What a great excuse I have to be upstairs in the craft room.

Christmas Sparkles

Before I go any further with this post I want to say sorry for the rotten photo.  I hate having to take photos in artificial light as I never seem to get them clean and sharp and there never seems to be enough daylight just now anyway.  Been in Livingston today with my daughter who was doing her Christmas shopping as she's on holiday.  She was very lucky as she got nearly everything she wanted - and didn't pay the full price for anything!!!  

It's got quite cold here tonight and the wind is blowing a hoolie.  Once I've done this I'm cooking tea, getting the wood burner going, tv on, knitting out and feet up!  Poor Mr C, he's working!  Hugs x
