Hop - a - long Twiggy !

Here's a photo of a lovely marigold that I grew from seed, isn't it fluffy?
Well my doctor says that I've sprained the ligaments in my knee area ! That'll explain the pain then and how did I do it? getting out of the car, what an old biddy! Anyhoo, I haven't done too much crafting this week as sitting for any length of time is a problem - ho hum.

However, we were quite busy over the past week considering.

A nice trip to a park we haven't been to before, last weekend was a big hit with young Master Twiglet.

Mr Twigs had a bit of time off this week so we went to lovely Filey and of course visited Sterchis choccy shop, I would have shown you the rose and violet creams and the chocolate owls but we've eaten them - well they were very scrummy.

Blimey I finished reading Tess last week, I enjoyed it but have had enough of Thomas Hardy and death and turnips for a while so now I'm reading The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins (if anyone tells me that turnips are involved I won't be happy :) Another unputdownable classic - hooray they do exist after all, or perhaps I'm just turning into an old fuddy duddy - don't agree please :)

Here's some of Twiglets artwork for your delectation, all the tiny bears have names you know!

Art in the kitchen too, what a talent!

My completed cupcake swap. As you can see it truly represents the sort of cupcake I would produce - a bit uneven in places, I've some bits to add to my finished parcel so will show you next time.

I've kept myself busy doing a bit of embroidery (excuse rubbish photo) can you tell I have cake on my mind?A piccy of the other cute items we bought for baby Jemima from a lovely Etsy seller. Wish I could get that hat in my size, although I don't think I'd be able to squish my big hair into it!
Other exciting news (I don't get out much) we have a bread maker from a lovely Freecycler it's ace, will pop a photo of it on here next week, Mr Twigs is currently using it, he is a top baker when it comes to bread!

I've given away a ton of stuff on Freecycle recently and sold a few bits on Ebay and with the proceeds I've bought some lovely additions to my fabric stash and a couple of fab books, when they arrive I'll show them to you.

Have a lovely week and hopefully I'll have more crafting goodies to show you next time as my knee gets better. I was going to show you some pics of the garden but I bet you're exhausted by now, so bye for now.

PS I was going to have a bit of a giveaway for my 50th post - but have realised that was a few posts back, so will spring it on you in the next few weeks so keep your eyes peeled!
