House Work ...

With the three patchwork curtains finally finished, my living room looks ready for springtime!


From outside we appear to have delightful stained glass windows! These will be nice to come home to in winter, after choir practice!


One of my cushion-covers looked very worn so some curtain off cuts from a friend have remedied that! We also happen to like chickens anyway ....


Finally this Mother's Day card from school, provided inspiration for an Easter holiday joint family craft. It was made using markers and wallpaper samples ...


So we bought a canvas at value house and I dug out my own sample collection ...


Thanks to Daisy, Matty, Mary and Michael for making flowers with me :-)

Happy Birthday to my special twins!

This morning there were two cheeky monkeys waiting for breakfast ...


Happy 8th Birthday Daisy!


Many Happy Returns Matty!


Little Mary, who is almost 6, wished them well. Which shocks me as this blog is now been running over 6 years and began all that time ago with a fishy project :-) Have you ever made a Sock Monkey? I do love monkeys ....
