When cupcakes go bad .............

Don't you just love this photo? and isn't it fab when you have a mate with a sense of humour as warped as yours? We took the boys out for our weekly, fun,muddy, freezing day out with obligatory bucket of coffee and cake. J dropped this off with his Mummy so he could caper around, I think we laughed for about 5 minutes :)

Isn't it cold? our local weatherman predicted snow and `nithering' winds today, we've just been to the duckpond and playground in the light snow flurries - love the word flurry - and now feel suitable `nithered'. We also went for a muddy trudge in the local woods yesterday, just lovely and chilly - brrrrr!!!!!!!

Have received some more postal loveliness this week.

Firstly a lovely belated birthday package from over the pond from my good friend Jan at Daylily Lane. Kind lady you've got to love someone who sends you a lovely parcel of buttons for your birthday and fab handmade card AND button storage, thank you so much.

I have been very naughty again, and bought this lovely bundle from Artymiss, including a fab scrapbooking kit to make a Thomas the Tank Engine scrapbook for Twiglet, I made my very first page yesterday, I'll show you next time.Have also started spending my birthday money, here's some gorgeous fabric I bought from Ebay. Some great wool felt (can you guess which Cath Kidston projects they're for ?I also treated myself to these stupendously beautiful cards from lovely Etsy lady The house of Secret Super Heroes, no I'm NOT parting with them, I am going to frame them and put them on my bedroom wall, aren't they gorgeous?

We've been making scrummy homemade vegetable soup today and Twiglet wanted to make some stuff for the birds in the garden. So here's what we made. If you want to have a go yourself take a look here.http://www.bbc.co.uk/breathingplaces/doonething/simple/birds_bake.shtml

Thanks to lovely Taz @ Ratbag Creations for my Let's Be Friends Award. If you've left a comment on my blog feel free to award it to yourself too, fantastic readers.

Not much to report on the crafting front this week, I've been working and have taking on the role of Webmaster for Twiglets playgroups website. I feel like I should wear a pointy hat and cloak, anyhoo the chap that set it up came round the other evening to show me (and Mr Twigs - he doesn't get away with anything poor lamb:) the ropes. It's funny, if I hadn't got this blog I'd have been totally clueless rather than just clueless! Showed us some interesting stuff though that might be good for my blog too!

Still working on my BIG project but that won't be revealed until after Helen and Ralphs wedding in July. Note to self - get on a serious diet and start looking at sturdy foundation garments. It's Winter and I just want to lay on the sofa snuggled up eating choccy and cakes with my boys - ho hum.

The forecast for here is heavy snow tonight Twiglet is VERY giddy, so hope it happens, we're having a Mummy and Twiglet day tomorrow, so lots of snuggling and crafting I think. Haven't had one for a while as I've been working a fair bit, but I'm jobhunting now as my exam work will dry up until the Summer. As poor old Mr Twigs is working I'll let him have the car, two bus journeys and a train to get to work is no fun for him, espesh in the snow.

Righto keep warm, eat soup, snuggle under blankets.

love
