Christmas Doings

Did you have a nice Bonfire Night?  

It was good fun at the Beaver's Bonfire at the Scout Hut on Wednesday and we raised £140. 

We had fireworks and hot dogs at Nana and Grandad's last night.

Twiglet and I have been busy in the kitchen today and made the Christmas cake we intended to make during half term (we ran out of time:) 
 
The house smells lovely, I love little rituals.

There is still a fair amount of real life crap going on at Twiggy Towers so, to take our minds of it we are keeping busy. 

We had a smashing walk along another local public footpath this afternoon.  

We also saw our first Robin of the year - yay !! (and lots of sunbathing bunnies).

 The weather has been glorious, so sunny and bright.

We're ending the day with a bit of stargazing using Mr Twig's fab new birthday pressie, isn't it ace?

Twiglet and I have also started making a few Christmas pressies but more on that story later.

Take care.

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