Blooming Flowers

Neil bought me my favourite flowers yesterday, roses and tulips.  The tulips remind me of my favourite time of year 'Spring'



After dropping the kids off at school tomorrow, we are off into York for a spot of lunch and a browse.  Hopefully I will remember to take my camera. 

Freaky Looking

Is it just me, or do these freak anyone else out.  They seem to be everywhere.  They really do give me the heeby jeebies.

Also, these freak me out too, even more than the above.  Whenever they come on the telly I have to hide behind a cushion.

New Etsy Shop - coming soon

I have decided to open up another Etsy shop.  My other shop only sells embellishments, but I am wanting my new shop to sell new and exciting products.  My project book is full of ideas just waiting to be made.  I will keep you posted on my progress.

In the meantime, this is the wonderful banner Mandy at http://www.etsy.com/shop/stylemesweetdesign made up for me.  Check out her shop - it really is amazing.

Thank you Mandy, you are a superstar....x

Going Cold Turkey

I have not been able to sleep for the last two nights.  When I say no sleep, I mean I have clock watched and seen every hour.  Christmas was wonderful, with lots of rich food and lots more wine.  Yes the wine is the reason for my lack of sleep - I am going cold turkey.

2011 New Year Resolutions

2011 is the year of the Rabbit - this could be your year Broccoli.  She turns eight at the end of the month - bless her.  She's a real grump on a morning, but she is good company and will sit for hours under the kitchen table.

OK, now onto the dreaded resolutions, which I make every year, but never stick to any of them for more than a month.  This year is going to be different (hey, don't I say that every year):

* go to bed earlier

* drink less wine and drink more water (this one just seems impossible)

* attend the gym at least 3 times a week (who am I kidding)

* spend less time on the computer and more time crafting

* loose 10 pounds (not from my purse)

* don't loose my rag with the kids

* keep the house tidy at all times

* keep the ironing pile down to an acceptable level

* update my blog at least once a week

May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's Resolutions!

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to all my followers.  Hope you all had a great night.  Still can't quite believe it's 2011 already.

I have some exciting plans for this year.  I am opening a new shop on Etsy, with new products in the pipeline.  I'm also hoping to do lots of craft fairs this year.

I will hopefully get to a point where I can juggle family life, helping out at the local primary school and my love of crafting.  Lots of lists are needed for this task, but I'm determined to succeed.

Haven't managed to post any Christmas photos, here are a few of the decorations before they are taken down for another year.

2011 Giveaway

When I have reached the 100 mark on my blog followers, I am going to start a giveaway in 2011.  Please let all your fellow bloggers know, all they have to do is become a follower of my blog.

Have a great weekend, lets hope the snow stays away......x
