Easter bits.....

Today I have purchased lots of Easter bits to make ready for our grand Easter party in April. The boys have always enjoyed Mum's easter egg hunts and this year we are including their friends which will be amazing. I decided it would be lovely to have an easter hat parade, so watch this space for the end results.

The sun has been shining most of the day and it definitely feels like Spring has sprung!

Spare pair of hands anyone??

Today has involved working furiously to get another design down in a few hours that Mr S looked after our youngest, successful-well with a bit of tweaking i'll get there! Lunch involved meeting up with friends at Pizza hut which was lovely, and always entertaining where our children are involved.

The high-light of my day was when my parcel arrived from Orange you Lucky, I won the give away for her cards-they're fab and will post piccie's tomorrow.

Still feeling frustrated at not having enough time to be able to be creative, feels like my design work is suffering.......also it could be the time of year where there's lots going on in my head but just a lack of time to get it into production, could do with a spare pair of hands-any volunteers??

I'm interested having read other blogs that people seem to be doing swaps, if anyone reads my ramblings and knows anything about/involved in this drop me a line, i'd be really interested.

Fresh & Funky

These are the colours that I have been working with today-fresh and funky. The outcome was surprisingly pleasing to the eye, can't wait to get stitching the design.

Also had slight mis-hap with youngest son losing his "taggy", comfort blanket that he's had since birth. Good old Mum came to the rescue and stitched a new one made from Nemo fleece which went down a storm!!

Today's the day

Having had a very non-productive week and a half, I have been looking after the boys, I am off out to my studio to work on some new designs. Looking forward to getting stuck in and working through the ideas that I've had bouncing round my head the last few weeks.

On a more positive note, my bathroom is getting there, Mr S has been busy putting up my new tiles, they look great- I love the pattern and can't wait to accessorise with the duck egg blue!!!

Yummy!

And of course after a day tidying you need something to relax with. Chocolate crispy cakes with smarties made by my 4yr old-deeellliicious!!!!

After several failed attempts at cleaning-hampered by a 2yr old shredding tissue all over the carpet- I finally managed to sneak this bunny into place!!

Tidying the house

This is one of my new purchases from a local supermarket.

I love Russian dolls and this colour way is really contemporay and so eye catching.
