Back to it


Please tell me what on earth I'm supposed to do on a Sunday evening, now Sherlock has finished?  

Well I suppose Call the Midwife & Mr Selfridge might fill the gap, but I will miss it so much !!!

Righto, have managed to steal Mr Twig's laptop or Frankenlaptop as it's known.

 It's a keyboard/laptop home made hybrid!! but at least I can upload photos yay!!

This post is scattered with photos of some of my lovely Christmas gifts, lucky Twiggy I also received a gorgeous red, spotty satchel from my lovely SIL - but will post a pic later!!


So we are back at school/ work after a really lovely Christmas, as I mentioned my lovely Mum isn't too well but managed to stay with us for a couple of days.

We went to the Railway Museum to see Santa which was ace and Twiglet was a wise man - of course - in the Christingle and we forgot our camera on both occasions - bah!!

We also went here to see The Jungle Book which was excellent.


Mr Twig's dad (Grandad Twigs) came out of hospital for Christmas but had to go back in last week due to an infection, he came out again last weekend and has to go back once a week for a pretty nasty outpatient op.  Poor old Nana Twig's is having to nurse him and to be honest, she could do with a nurse herself - crikey!!

This is a hamper I made for my lovely Mum for Christmas, filled with some of her favourite treats.......... she loved it.
Twiglet's Christmas cakes and the chutneys went down very well too.  

My lovely SIL & BIL scoffed their entire jar of chilli jam on New Years Eve :) 

I'll have to chuck some more together.  

Anyhoo, we waited in vain for our usual Christmas snow for sledging, we are still waiting with out fingers crossed. 
It's my birthday on 21st January and I managed to get a snow day off work last year, but to make sure it's covered, I've swapped my day off next week, so I don't have to go in - total child !!

Ok, so will try and blog on a more regular basis.

Got to go and sort out dinner now, then collect Twiglet from his Boys & Girls Aloud after school club !!

Cheery Bye

2 reasons why I haven't blogged..............

1. I have started working an extra 2 days per week, and I'm cream crackered.

2. I have 't got access to my photos at the moment and I'm using Twiglet's Kindle to blog.

However, I have much news and many photos to share so forgive me for now and I'll be back soon!

Happy New Year

Happy 2014 everyone!!

Apologies for my absence but it's been busy over at Twiggy Towers.  

We've had a smashing Christmas and New Year spent with old friends and loved ones - just as it should be.

Twiglet's Christingle and our visit to see Santa at the NRM were just lovely, but we had such fun we forgot the camera, so you'll have to take my word for it!!

My lovely Mum came over  to spend the festive season with us which was so nice (she was a trouper too as she is quite unwell at the moment).

Good news, Grandad Twigs was released from hospital on Christmas Eve, so was able to have Christmas home with his family around him.

He's on the mend but has several horrid side effects.

They don't make them like they used to you know, he is unable to have many drugs due to existing health problems and medication he takes, so he has only had paracetamol to manage his pain. 

He's managed to crack a few jokes and keep a smile on his face. 

What  a tiptop fella he is, but we already knew that!!

I will be back later with photos, I'm using Mr Twigs  PC today, so I can't upload any.

Have a lovely New Years Day, we are having a PJ day due to gales and lashing rain.

Don't forget to watch Sherlock later, we are VERY excited.

love

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