Friends...


One of my unofficial New Years Resolutions was to try and stay in touch with friends. Not by just a quick text, but sending a nice hand made card to say something special.

I had a spare moment this afternoon and got playing with some lovely new inkpads I got on ebay for a bargain price.


Ingredients: scraps of pretty papers, ribbon, prima flower various stamps

Ingredients: Stamp tapestry and Anna Griffin stamps, Prima flowers, squares cut out with Fiskars Shape Cutter


The wonderful world of blogs and friends and goodthings...

Our sweet friend Nigel popped over to say hi tonight, and told us his family had got into blogging in a serious way. I have just whiled away a good few minutes reading his, Beth's and the kids blogs. Fantastic stuff!

It's inspired me to write more on this one. Particularly about current things that I know I'll forget, like words that Ethan is saying, or latest jokes Luke has made up.

So... here goes, Ethan's current words are...

whaaaat? (said very often)
Dad!
Mum!
dook (luke)
nen (again)
hot
cat ( said with a funny CH sound at the end...very good for Welsh pronounciation)
cow/moo
horCH (horse)
see (usully when we have the camera out, he likes to see the picures we've taken)
watch!
ner - which is usually accompanied by pointing which means "That thing over there"
oc (chocolate)
Hair
Nose
shoes
oc (again! this time it means sock)
no
yess (yes)
fineesh (finished)
o oh (tellytubbies style means broken/spilt etc)
tawl (towel)
bach (bath)
choo choo (train)
jooce (juice)

Those are all I can think of for now.

Luke has a lovely sense of cheeky humour. He likes calling his friends funny names when he says good bye... So at the top of his voice he'll shout bye bye chocolate giant silly, or bye bye power ranger. He also takes great pains to assure me that any "guns" he makes or draws are "only toy guns mummy, they're not real". He's really taken on board my dislike for the objects!

Things I really have to do this week.

Sort out the record of Volunteer hours done for B'feeding support group (I'm writing this here so I'll feel guilty if I haven't done them!)
Make 2 brooches for an order

Some priceless recent pics

I'm on a roll...

You can't stop me!!!





I'm quite chuffed...

Whilst doing my shopping yesterday I happened to flick through a magazine and be inspired! The picture was of stuffed fabric hearts, with ricrac stitched into the seam. I loved the idea and thought it would look nice replicated with paper for a topper.


I cut the heart shapes out with my Fiskars shape cutter and templates and just layered the different elements. I am really pleased with the results! They're on sale here.

Also made these, Ilove this Anna Griffin paper!
