Making and doing

Well Twiglet thoroughly enjoyed his school disco on Friday. He went as a fireman in the end as he'd ougtrown his Superman outfit!! He was very pleased as he won a prize for his breakdancing skills and was kissed by B a very forward young lady in his class:)

Here is a bit of the young man's school art work, Elmer the elephant, isn't it fab???He also got his wish on Friday night as we finally got some snow, however it was just a dusting really, so he's still got his fingers crossed for enough to build a snowman this week!!We had a very invigorating walk on Saturday, just lovely.

When it's chilly and icy outside, I like to nest. I watched Little Women for the umpteenth time last night and made these.

A couple more hearts, I think the second one looks very retro.

And a little owl!!!Today my thoughts turned to Christmas gifts and food. The old jam pan came out, we started with a batch of chilli jam. Then moved onto a first for me onion marmalade. It all smelt delicious and unblocked our sinuses again, so medicinal too.I'd just finished popping it into jars, looked out of the window and it had started snowing and a little robin appeared on the garden table. Of course he'd disappeared by the time we found the camera but it was a lovely pre- Christmas moment.

Righto, off to prepare for tomorrow and to do a spot of stitching.

Take care, keep warm and safe.

  3. Hi Twigs! I love the elephant. The hearts are gorgeous. One of my granddaughters, aged 2, saw the snow here and shouted, "Yaayyy! It's Christmas" SueXXX

  5. Best way to warm up the kitchen on a cold winters day........yummy chutneys and marmalades.
    The weather speaks of blizzard conditions later in the week so maybe your little man will get to build his snowman.
    Pretty hearts, the second one looks very festive.

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...............................................
