I promised!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Yes you guessed it I am back, sometimes my brain works so hard I surprise myself.  Here's a post full of craftiness just for putting up with me, I wish you could see how smiley I am : )))))))))

I have fixed it, so so so happy finally I can add pictures to my words and everyone else can see my visions of utter loveliness xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Here is my ripple blanket that I have been nattering on about for the last few posts.  I bought some fleece today so will be stitching a backing on it this weekend and then voila it will be all finished and ready for the little bubba!

 Here is my package from beadcrafty.com  - nicely waiting for me when I got in from work.

And here are it's yummy contents - I sooooo can't wait to start playing and making.

In true "Blue Peter" style here's some I made earlier.   Enjoy and I'll come and play again soon

Catching-up

Again I'm not doing very well with this blogging malarky and have slipped out of the habit of nattering with you all.

A few weeks ago I was reading a blog by SleepyJoe in which she sets herself some goals for blogging and I think I really need to take a leaf out of her book and set some of my own.  I seem to find the time to read blogs and comment on facebook but never to write anything of my own!

I am going to make a conscious effort to keep in touch - lets see here's my plan;

• I promise I will say hello every weekend and show you what I have been crafting (lots and lots of photos)
• I will also check-in once a week with a short post about life in general and anything good that has been happening.

I am still having massive problems uploading pictures onto here anybody else having problems????? : (

What a cutie!

Gosh, I know I've already said it but time seems to be flying by - can you believe it in a few days it will be February! Have just been catching up reading a few of my favourite blogs (sleepyjoes and Attic24 ) if only we could have a few more hours!

Today we have had a stay at home day, my little one has been poorly over the past few days and has been waking up every hour in the night upset and snuffly.  When you get used to them sleeping through, the broken sleep seems a nightmare!

I managed to get a rid of a couple of those jobs that just seem to hang around eg filing bits of paperwork, updating accounts and tidying up bookshelves.  Sooooo as a bonus for all my hard work I had a bit of a "crafty" afternoon!

And this is what happened:-

Isn't it just adorable!  So snuggly and cute and pink.  Just wish this "craftiness" had started when I was pregnant with Molly and then she could have had one when she was a baby.  This is my first ever attempt at a "blankie" and only my second sewing machine project, so I don't think I have done bad ; )

I don't think it will be too long before a blue one and neutral one is made do you? And yes they will be taking pride of place on my sparse craft table!!!!!!!!

Just a quick update on those pesky resolutions - can honestly say that it's only 1 out of 5 so far.  I have actually managed to stick to blogging for a whole month I know it's not been many posts but hey ho.  They say (those really intelligent bods) that if you can keep doing something for 7 weeks it becomes a habit so not too long then!

And if you find that extra couple of hours can you please send them home to me as somehow I think that I will be needing them soon xoxoxoxo
