Is it me ?
Please tell me am I the only one that finds drawing faces on butternut squash, really, really funny??
I am. Right, I'll get my coat. (I had to find some way of making putting the shopping away this morning more interesting). I think I might go and write my name on the bananas now.
Hah!! You would love Anno's Faces - a book which has two clear plastic strips with different faces on that you hold over pictures of fruit and veg. It's fabulous!! http://www.vintagechildrensbooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3858 I'm only showing you this link cos it has a picture of the front cover - you can get it cheap on Amazon!
I often write 'Do Not Eat Me!' on food in the fridge - eggs, strawberries an the like - to save the ingredients for a certain dish - just to stop my hoards eating all in sight!! I particularly like little faces with spectacles on eggs!! As you know we have a lot of eggs - its nice to give them their own distinct personalities!! x Vicky x
Ooh, I like the idea of writing 'do not eat me' on food that I'm trying to save for a dish. Not that anyone around here would pay any attention. Maybe a booby trap is the way to go...
In the Cath Kidstone catologue theres a competition called "bring your garden veg to life" so maybe you should enter...hehe love your blog love Lucey x
Well I"ve finally taken the plunge...................
After drooling over many blogs for months now I've decided to finally take the plunge, so here is my new dawn. Hence the beautiful sunrise above as photographed by Mr Twiggy through our bedroom window. (I'm sure I'll be including a lot of his pics, hope he doesn't expect commision).
I love crafting and have ever since I was a little girl and spent hours playing with my mums button tin (which I've inherited) and amused my self by making dresses for my dollies - even though I'd cut their hair and given them green felt tip highlights. Punk Tiny Tears - I should have marketed this idea !!
Hope you enjoy my work as much as I've enjoyed others who are a daily inspiration to me.
I hope to share favourite blogs, books and anything and everything with you, so enough off my blithering on and watch this space...............................................
errmm, yes it's you! :-)
