Oh I do like to be beside the seaside.......

Today we decided to down tools and have a little trip out.  There was also a motive behind this, as we have a static caravan in Morecambe and we needed to check that everything was ok.  The poor little caravan was a little cold but no damp or wet in sight so looks like we might be having a little Easter break soon.

After checking on the van we ventured into Morecambe to the delight of our 2 year old Molly.

 

All ready and waiting with the bucket to collect pebbles, shells and driftwood for another little project that I may have mentioned previously!

 

You wouldn't have known but whilst we were on the beach it was actually snowing but we were well wrapped up. 

 

We had a little peep at the local market and I bought some lovely wool ready for yet another blanket ....

 

 

And some fabric at such a bargain price......

 

But my last little treasure was in a charity shop and for a bargain price of 40p I got myself a book from my childhood and one that Lucy from Attic 24 has been mentioning in her blog recently.

 

Happy Easter everyone and I hope you get chance to have some fun and time for crafting over the next few days x x x x x

Days 28, 29, 30 - nearly there!

I'm not exactly sure how long this motivation malarkey was meant to be, but here I am at day 30.  A bit more delayed than I should be I admit but we got here nonetheless!

We went to the caravan this weekend and we actually had a lovely time, the weather was nice (for once) and we had some fun filled days!

Saturday started off quite grey but seemed to brighten up.  First stop was Happy Mount Park where the kids did some "scooting".   Molly adores her new pink scuttlebug and wakes up every morning wanting her "bike".

We then popped over to the ice-cream farm at Grange-over-Sands and had to sample the fantastic flavours.  I think we had strawberries and cream (Molly's), Chocolate (Jake's), honeycomb (David) and coconut (mine).   YUM YUM YUM - that's all I can say!

Morecambe had a seaside festival on this weekend complete with the red arrows and lifeboats so that was a must and we also managed a little detour to the car boot - where I managed to pick up some bargains.

I could not resist these, my cousin used to have them years ago - a bargain at 50p!

And this was 50p too - I have no idea what I am going to do with it but I had to have it.

How was your weekend??????????????????????????????

Happy Holidays

Hellooooooo I just wanted to check in with you all after a little holiday in our new static caravan : )

It was half-term holidays last week so we decided to spend it at Morecambe (only an hour up the road).  We took another boot load of stuff to our little van and it is now starting to feel like it belongs to us!

Whilst the weather was nice we put some bedding plants in some pots for the front of the van so will take some more pictures this weekend so that you can see how pretty it looks.

We also enjoyed ourselves at the beach nearby - the kids have a fascination with crabbing and love to look for goodies in the rock pools.  They managed to fill a bucket with crabs, little fish and shrimps so smiles all round!

I spent most evenings (when the kids were finally in bed) cutting out fabric hearts ready to sew for my stall at a centenary event in 2 weeks and have managed to get them finished this week.

Nothing else really to report - looking forward to tomorrow (Wednesday) as have another viewing on the house and the weekend when we can see our van again.

Anyone got plans for the weekend?
