All Change................

Well I said I wouldn't be away that long. Above is a photo of one of our jolly red sunflowers, it's a beauty around 8 foot tall!!! I forgot when I planted the seeds that it was red, so it was a nice surprise.
Twiglet started nursery this week, his key worker came to visit us at home and the following day we took him in. Well his lady as we call her :) said Hi would you like to help me build this train track? We said Bye Darling, he shouted Bye Mummy, Bye Daddy and didn't even turn round!!! Hey none taken, young man :)

To be honest was v.relieved. Thankfully I have yet another cold - what a germ infested old gimmer I am - however this was a good thing as 1, I slept like a zombie the night before he started and 2. any redness around my eyes and nose was passed off as cold related :)

I mentioned in my last post about my sisters Mother In Laws, sadly one of them passed away this morning and the other lady has gone into a hospice now. The nice thing (if that sounds weird, sorry) is that the hospice is very near her home so my sisters Father In Law can spend all day, every day with her in comfort.

Here are the lovely hugs cards that my fantastic friends over at Papercraftersunited have sent over to me during the past two weeks,

On to happier things, well I've received a commission from my Mother In Law to make 6 cards - however, my crafting mojo is lying dormant until I've shifted this cold so will keep you posted.

However, I did manage to make this 3D lady for a cardmaking friend.

Now, I do have some rather exciting news. it's all change at Twiggy Towers (this is the other stuff I had to deal with). I had an interview this week and was offered the job, unfortunately I had to turn it down as I couldn't fit the hours around Twiglet. Well blow me, they came back to me asked what hours I'd like to work, I told them, had a chit chat with Grandma and Nana Twiggy and blimey, I'm starting work the week after next!!! it's only a temporary contract until Christmas, but every little helps as like a lot of you, we're really feeling the pinch at the moment.

Here's an action shot of Twiglet finger painting, he had to have a shower and a bath when he'd finished :)

Further adventures with the breadmaker, I made my first ever pizza dough this week and made Twiglet a pizza Teddy for dinner!I've been going mad on Etsy recently and have spent a modest amount on vintage downloads and fabric, so I'm hoping these will get my creative juices flowing. Also bought some lovely fabric from Ikea this week, so I'll blog them next time.

Righto, that's me for now, so have a great weekend and thanks for all the very kind and lovely comments you left on my last post.
