Sunny September Weekend

Well we are back in the swing of things, Twiglet and I are back in school and he has settled in beautifully. 

Mr Twigs is back at work and so we thought we would chillax this weekend.

I really love to start nesting in September and since I was tiny we always went blackberry picking the weekend after we returned to school. 

Firstly with my lovely Granny, then my lovely Mum and now with my lovely boys.

We had a walk around one of our local woods in the gorgeous September sunshine - I LOVE September.
 Climbed a few trees.
 Admired the vegetation.
 
Made a swing.
 
And of course, visited the duck pond.
 Today we got the old jam pan out and made lots of jars of scrummy blackberry jam using some of the blackberries we picked on Saturday - we have loads left in the freezer !!
 Fantastico.
 Hope you had a great weekend whatever you got up to.  

 We are battening down the hatches now for the predicted high winds tomorrow !!

 My ears are still hurting a bit but they are on the mend and quite frankly on today of all days I think I should count my many blessings and think about our friends over the pond.

Take care.

    Looks like you had a great time and wow, homemade jam! That's fab. I've never made jam. You should have kept some and made blackberry vodka....mmmm sounds yummy. Saw a recipe in the Asda magazine (free at tills) for Plum vodka so it got me thinking....! xx

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