Come outside it feels like Spring

Well we have been busy bees here at Twiggy Towers.  
I've attended a lot of meetings and I'm settling into the routine of work now.  

Twiglet's school celebrated Red Nose Day on Friday by having a wear something for money day and a Glee for a fee talent show!!

Twiglet wore one of the fab Vivienne Westwood skull t.shirts and I dressed as a schoolgirl :) 

Mr Twigs wants me to wear the outfit again - cheeky boy!!
It was a fun day for a good cause and our little school raised £200 which was great. 

I was very proud of Twiglet as he was one of only 3 littlies in his class that took part in the talent show and delivered his robot jokes beautifully - what a little star - much braver than I was at 5 !!

Did you see the live Frankenstein from Kirkstall Abbey in Leeds last night?  it was fab. 

Me and Mr Twigs actually intended to go along but for one reason and another couldn't get there.  
Must admit though it was much warmer watching it on the sofa in my PJs. 
Here's a link if you missed it. 


Well yesterday the sunshine put us in the mood for garden clearance so good old Mr Twigs took 5 sacks of garden rubbish and weeds to the tip and I repotted all our Sweet Pea seedlings.  Doesn't the greenhouse look tidy now?  the little plants are cabbages.  
We are a bit stuck until we get our new allotment so are having to grow everything in trays and buckets for the time being!!

We've had a lovely day out here today.   

MOSI (Manchester Museum of Science and Industry) 
I'd highly recommend it, we looked at EVERYTHING, had a little steam train ride and the cakes in the coffee shop are lush.

Remember a while ago I said I'd treated myself to some birthday goodies well here they are.  What an ecletic mix.  
Top DVD viewing to make the ironing mountain more fun......... 
and one of my favourite books that I haven't read for ages.

 I haven't had time for much crafting recently but I am doing some cross stitch every evening, so it's coming on slowly but surely but I'll save that for next time.
Righto, I have a joint of pork in the oven and have to go and do the roasties now.

Have a great week.

love

Twiggy xxx

    Nice catchin' up with you Twiggy. Glad it's not all work and no play. That's some daffodil photo too - the colours are wonderful. I'm way behind on my sowing again this year - like still waiting for my seeds to arrive through the post! x

    The feeling of the emerging Spring is wonderful isn't it
    Your greenhouse is looking good and very productive
    We have a lot of work to do in the new garden but I;m enjoying spending time outside when I can. It will be slow progress but I'm determined not to get stressed and just do what I can when I can

    Glad you are settling into the new work routine

    Hugs Jackie 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...............................................
