What more can I say?

We popped to Meadowhall today and I stepped inside a Paperchase for the very first time, I've always had a obsession liking for stationary but wow! I managed to contain myself and only bought this postcard



I will be returning very soon!

Meet Blossom

I don't ever remember waking up on an Easter Sunday to find a covering of snow! I wasn't quick enough with my camera to snap it before it all melted, I may have been up just after 6 but wasn't planning on venturing outside at stupid o'clock freezing my tits off so you'll just have to take my word for it!

I can now share Blossom (aka Crash Test Bunny #4) pics as she safely arrived yesterday




Her dress is an adaption of this very easy, simple tutorial from Molly Chicken and the flower attached to her 'name tag' is a brooch,



JL suggesting giving her two heads, how cruel......funny though!



Happy Easter!

Hunny Bunny

Firstly happy birthday to Jim Lad for yesterday! We didn't do very much but someone had a rather nice lie in (not me) and breakfast in bed (not me!)

1st day of the Easter holidays I only hope the rest won't be as stressful with the two young uns squabbling, D#2 seems to be having a rather frustrated phase with lots of ear piecing screaming when she wants something or doesn't get her own way, then D#1thinks it funny to mimic her so D#2 screams more then it's a screaming game - once a day I could put up with but not every time D#2 wants something - just hope it's a short lived phase!!

Apologies to Diane for not posting about this sooner.....


Arrived on Thursday, what could it be?


????


Well hello there bunny! (sorry for the rubbish dull pic - blame the Yorkshire weather!)

I'm surprised she didn't nibble through these on her journey


Yum! Lindt my favourite!!!!!

Look at these beautiful books Diane sent for D#1 and D#2, they are keepsake editions of books first published in the 1950's!


(They are both looking at them as I type!!)

Here is Diane's cute Easter handmade card



And a better pic of Hunny Bunny!!



Isn't she sweet? Thank you so much Diane, I wish I'd had a camera when the girls saw her for the first time, she's already been to bed with D#1 but I managed to retrieve her from her bedroom (oh I'm evil ) but I did wait to the following day (I'm not that evil). Thank you also to Lucy for arranging such an enjoyable swap! I'm hoping there might be another one soon ;o)

Crash Test Bunnies

It was my dad's birthday yesterday (not that he can even use a computer and he wouldn't know what a blog was!) but happy birthday dad anyway! These days I'm a smidgen taller than him!



Thank you for your lovely comments about my bag, I think if I did steal the birthday bag back my bro's girl friend wouldn't even notice!

Here are the Crash Test Bunnies


From left to right CTB #2 (it is meant to be just a head but is a bit freaky) CTB #3 (generally a bit freaky - think it's the eyes) blurred out CTB #4 (on route to New Jersey as I type) and CTB #1 *snigger* (what can I say?!)

I finished my course today, I was very apprehensive about putting D#2 in the creche but she absolutely loved it, as did I and I'm quite sad it's finished - I got a certificate and feel quietly chuffed with myself! I'm hoping the school will host some more very soon!

The lights are on but is anyone home?

Well chickens I return from my fast and hard living life of traveling the world......oh no.....sorry that was while I was still asleep ;o) Not had much energy to blog lately but I'm here now!

Have you seen Hana's Helpline? It's a kids program on Channel 5 (so you may not have!), softie fans should really look out for it - the characters are fantastic!

Are you a little animal with a big problem?

Then phone Hana on
Moo, Baa, Double quack, Double quack…

Love it!!!






Muzzy Mouse and Owen Owl are my faves I think - so cute!

In my absence I have been productive! Four crash test bunnies for the Bunny Swap, #4 will be the one getting posted to Diane in New Jersey tomorrow! She has an essence of Frankenstein's Monster but I think she's the best I could come up with. She's been hanging around for a few weeks now and I think I've come quite attached to her - I'll be sad to see her go *sniff*

I've also made a Tiny Happy bag I love these bags, so simple and the tutorial is brill, it's the second one I've made the first one was last year for my brother's girlfriend's birthday, she's a big bag fan in general but it seems not of my bag or maybe just not of handmade - gutted to say the least but I'm sure it's very happy at 'the bottom of the wardrobe' *sigh*



I've been making some brooches too like the one on the bag, will share more another time.
