Birthdays 2 and erm..... 3 and singing ice !!!

 Well I did milk my birthday a bit and had one on Sunday and another today !!!  firstly, thank you for my lovely birthday wishes and my lovely gift from Vicky!!

Yesterday we had a jolly day at a very chilly but smashing Filey.

Today Mr Twigs and I sneaked off down the road to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park. 

I haven't been here without children in tow since before  Twiglet was born.  

In fact when Twiglet and his little mate J were 7 months old me and my pal took them for a good old roll around on a tartan rug one Summer - start them young !!
Anyhoo, I used to volunteer here before I was a Mum and really wanted to have a good look round without little people.  

 We were walking over the bridge and saw that the ice was breaking up on the lake and it looked so beautiful. 
We then heard a wonderful noise, apparently this is called singing ice.  Wow we can still learn new things at our age, it truly was a magical moment.  (Here's a much better explanation of it than I can give you).


 We had a stiff walk up to the long Gallery for the first time and saw the David Nash exhibition which was fantastico !!!  
Then had a good look around, we were very taken with this, I fancy one for the garden.  

It was a lovely crisp, bracing January day (it usually is around my birthday, I love January). 

I came home feeling quite inspired, it is so easy to forget who you are and what you enjoy when you have children, isn't it?  
 I think I might be revisting soon, I have an idea for a little family project.  

I also have an idea about arranging a little Spring bloggy meet up here, so watch this space!!


love
Twiggy 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...............................................
