Happy St Davids Day

Hello folks. 

 I was going to post some pics of the walk I had planned today, however, rain stopped play.

 After taking Dom the guinea pig to the vets to have his teeth clipped, I settled down to make some earrings while watching Stardust (the Neil Gaiman film not the David Essex one ). 

 I love this film, right up there with The Princess Bride and Local Hero in our house. 

Do you have Sunday afternoon film favourites, if so, what are they? There are worse ways to spend a rainy, grey Sunday afternoon.

So it seems to have been a busy week but I managed to pop in some sewing on my machine, shock horror, I even threaded it up myself, blimey!

I also sneaked off with my good pal Caroline on Thursday afternoon for coffee and  cake sans children - oooo scandalous.

Before the yucky weather arrived today, I managed to go for several walks while the boy was at school and the hubby at work, it felt quite Spring like, so I will leave you with a few pics.

Like most places we have a few eccentrics, a bloke near us has this vehicle parked outside his house, never driven it since he bought it and it's parked under a sign that says Elvis Presley Boulevard - brilliant !!
This old shed belongs to a fella that lives nearby who must be in his 80s, he stores an old fashioned tractor in it and several times a week, takes it out, starts it up and rides it round the grassy field behind the shed, puts it away and then goes home.  Ace !!

Here are a few shots from down the lane across from my house.






I often feel a bit of a ninny walking on my own without a dog or anything, but bumped into loads of folks doing exactly the same thing, perhaps Spring is on it's way.

Take care

  1. Love the shed man vintage tractor enthusiast Twiggy. I know what you mean about walking on your own. I don't like going in pubs on my own and nobody talks to you. Happy St David's day.

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