Rain,Rain go away and an award.............

Blimey will it EVER stop raining. From our window I can see a farm with a small campsite across the valley and those poor campers in their tents and caravans - bleurgh!
I don't know what's got into me but I'm having a major declutter at the moment, I cleared out my porch last weekend - massive job and put a load of stuff on Freecycle and a bit on Ebay so have had a stream of callers!
Next job Twiglets 3 toy boxes! will have to be when he's in bed though as he isn't willing to part with anything!
The potty training is going well so he's earning lots of stickers and Thomas books :)

Anyhoo, we have got rid of the lurgi but I have now hurt my knee!! old croc or what? so Twiglet and I had a mummy and Twiglet day today. It started with air drying clay, honestly I'm sure this is the messiest (is that a word?) invention ever, I had to hose Twiglet down afterwards!!!

Next up Playdoh, I LOVE Playdoh, love the smell it reminds me of my 1970s childhood like nothing else. I got some for Christmas one year and made my extremely hung over (much older I hasten to add) sister sniff it until she was sick - ha ha, evil little Twiggy :) The lovely likenesses are from left to right. Grandma Twiggy, Twiggy (love my Gok Wan style quiff), Twiglet and Mr Twiggy, who HAD to have glasses!!!!Not forgetting buttons, start `em young - that's what I say!I've been fairly industrious this week finally finishing Grandma Twiggys birthday cross stitch 3 days late, which she loved.Also whistled off this little one for Mr Twigs cousins new baby Jemima (isn't that such a gorgeous name ?) Check out these gorgeous little shoes that I purchased from a fellow etsy lady for Jemima. I've ordered some other stuff too from America which hasn't arrived yet, so will blog it next time.And here are some Artist Trading Cards I've made for the July swap on Papercraftersunited. The first ones are entitled the colour blue, the second set are butterflies.My charity shop finds this week are all book related. In a bid to read more classics and less erm... lightweight stuff I thought righto after my hols I'll get stuck in (secretly it's to enable me to answer more questions when watching University Challenge than Mr Twigs, he's such a swotty pants, I'm good at literature and art, he's good at maths, science, geography.................... oh blimmin everything - pah!). I had to read a fair amount of `classic lit' at school and college and it put me off for a while . Anyhoo we were checking out my fave charity shop this week and I bought a bundle of books at a princely 30p each. I've just read The Mayor of Casterbridge and couldn't put it down and next I'm onto Tess (see above) aren't the books pretty?

Ok, I'm going to watch some stuff we recorded last night, ending with Still Game, I can't recommend this enough, it has me in stitches, on BBC2, Thursday nights at 10pm, about a group of old blokes in Scotland (one of them reminds me of my Dad - you'll have to see if you can guess which one!) the eagle eyed ones among you will recognise Granny Murray from Me Too in there - that's assuming you're brainwashed by CBeebies on a daily basis of course!

Bye for now and here's hoping the rain will stop soon!!!!
