My garden ...

Looks like a building site again ...



These two tiny girls hefted all that stuff about!



i bought some 10mm bungee cord off eBay and fixed the ten year old trampoline - hooray! More bouncing!



one day we went out for about an hour and a half, and came back to find these poor birds in the garden, lying quite close together. Any ideas what happened? All three children looked at them, and after them for the afternoon, before their burials!

That time of year again ...

when I try to get a smile out of three children at once!



you wouldn't believe the things I have to say and do to get these images!


But it's all worth it. Taken in Radipole woods, today xxx

New man in my life ....

I decided it was time to get a new man ... I was really pleased with him as soon as I saw him ...



But it took him a wee while to settle in ...



But he soon did and after eating his crisps and do-nut, and sharing his wine with me he began to pick out tunes on his guitar!


Jealous and in need of a new man your self? You can get one too HERE, but he wont look like my cool dude as all Yermits are unique!

I have been ...

Putting Skinny-chicken the doorstop to work at the back door ... the children love her so much, they stop and pick her up for a cuddle ... the door closes!



Running up some fresh and funky bunting from some genuine found-in-a-loft fabrics ...



Finally using up some old press-studs on Jackets for Edward Tulanes! Wont get any more at the price, or that place! The half-pence coin was axed when I was around 12 years old. We collected them up in school for charity.



Covering a chair seat, and all of my small cushions with fresh new fabrics ... and then I covered a chair seat in fabric from a skirt that shrank in the wash!



Watched the Fuzzies admire the new colours!

To remember skinny-chicken ...

A new chicken door-stop to hold open out back door!



WE call this one skinny chicken. Like Daisy says, we will never forget her.

Round up ...

I am going to make more bunting, but first, Mary had a go at decorating my pattern!



But what's this in the corner? Mary said she forgot to put her name, so I wrote on the board M-A-R-Y and I think she did very well, for a three year old!



This woollen tank-top feels lovely - it will soon be a fun crop of hamsters, though!



The face of barn owl number 5 appears!



and here is a little treat I got for myself, well for the family room...



On a sad note, skinny-chicken decided to leave us, and we all felt a bit sad. My older girls Drew her picture and gave them to me. This is Matty's...



and Daisy started her drawing with skinny-chicken's bright yellow legs - she was the only one of our girls with yellow legs!


Have you been busy? I feel as though we have!
