<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Yey, the postman has arrived !!</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Well actually he came on Saturday, so this post is a few days late. The lateness is not entirely my fault, I was all set to post Monday evening, even got as far as sitting down in front of the screen, that's when it all went pear shaped. I knew as soon as I looked at the screen that no post was going to get done, there were zig zaggy lines, letters missing off words and some sentences missing all together, a technical problem I hear you cry ..... no the start of a major migraine, I knew within half an hour it would hit and I would be rendered useless for the next 12hrs. What did I do with my magic half hour ? Ate a great big bowl of Strawberries and cream and then went to bed. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Felt much better yesterday but didn't want to risk spending ages looking at a screen, so I'm doing my post today.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I suppose you would like to see what the postman brought...</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm off now to sew ribbons on Lucie's tutu for the weekend, she is performing at the Nottingham playhouse with her ballet school, hopefully I'll get some photo's of her in the tutu before Saturday, she's not being very cooperative though and keeps complaining about it being itchy, I don't think she'll be making a career out of ballet unless it suddenly becomes acceptable to perform on stage in jeans.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I decided to challenge myself this week and try something completely different, it dawned on me the other day that I had never used a 4ply yarn, to be honest it scared me a little, I was worried that it would be too delicate and fiddly and above all time consuming ( I do get bored quite easily) .</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I love wearing scarves though and have seen some really pretty ones on Ravelry, so I took the plunge and found a beautiful pattern , you can find it <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/elise-shawl">here</a>.</span></em><br />

</div><em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello all, hope you have all had a wonderful weekend.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I was going to dedicate this week to finishing my bunting, but have had to put this on hold as the LYS has run out of the green cotton. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I know I should have used the opportunity of having no projects on the go and caught up with other jobs, such as, finish painting the garden bench, digging the front garden, clean out the playhouse, re pot the tomato plants, clean the whole house, blah blah blah ........ but I had spotted a cute pattern in one of my Japanese crochet books, I definitely needed a new cardi more than the tomato's needed a bigger pot. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">So whilst at knit and natter on Thursday I purchased 2 balls of King Cole Bamboo, in what I would call a mustard colour, I was a bit unsure of the colour at first but had seen something similar in a shop in town, so I went with it and I'm so glad I did as I love it now it's done.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I really wanted to wear this today, so with half an hour to go before we went out I sat in the garden and tidied up all the ends, and sewed the button on whilst the kids were putting on their shoes and I'm pleased to say I made it in time and got to wear my new cardi, yippee !!</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I've mentioned in previous posts about my love and addiction to home magazines, such as Country living, Ideal home.....and how I'm supposed to be cutting down , I had been managing quite well, and when ever I felt myself being drawn to them in the supermarket, I thought about what I could be buying in the wool shop instead with the money saved. Today though I will admit to buying the latest issue of Ideal Home, as it had a feature on log cabins and summer houses, so you can see I really needed it to help with the planning of my log cabin, which is still not here as we (Scott) haven't managed to finish clearing the space in the garden yet. Whilst flicking through and looking at all the lovely pictures, I found this .......</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I'm hoping to make a start on some bunting this weekend, to adorn my tent and then my log cabin. I have decided to use colours from the CK mug that the children bought me for Christmas, such pretty colours.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I can't wait to get started, just need to make a decision on what pattern to use. I am torn between the wonderful bunting by <a href="http://bunnymummy-jacquie.blogspot.com/2010/05/colourful-crochet-bunting.html">Bunny mummy</a> or the equally gorgeous pattern by <a href="http://crochethealingandraymond.wordpress.com/2011/02/07/granny-bunting-remix-styles/">Crochet with Raymond</a> . Decisions, decisions....</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Hello lovely people,</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">You may remember a few posts back I mentioned a surprise for Lucie's 11th birthday. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The BIG surprise was a trip to London on the train, a theatre visit to see Lion King, then an overnight stay in a hotel.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">We had the most fantastic time ever. We went with my mum and my niece, as it was her 9th birthday the week before.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">They didn't know where they were going until we arrived at the train station.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">We had a real girly weekend and I loved spending some special time with Lucie, who suddenly seems very grown up.</span></em><br />
<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">You may have noticed the first picture includes me !! Never before has my face been seen on this blog, I have only included this one as we look like sisters....ha ha....in my dreams.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">In my last post I was busy making Royal bunting which I was going to put in my Folksy shop, but has since found a new home.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">We are currently decorating Dylans room and he has gone for a red and blue theme, which is great as everything is red and blue at the moment, when he saw the bunting his face lit up "COOL , that will look great in my room".

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">This post was supposed to be a birthday post, as both my girls have had birthdays this week. I am itching to tell you all about our exciting weekend, but in the last 2 days I have received the most wonderful swap gifts and feel that I owe these kind and talented ladies a big thank you, so I will save the birthday piccies for next time.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">My first parcel to arrive was the Spring swap, my partner was the lovely Helen from <a href="http://undomesticatedscientist.blogspot.com/">The undomesticated scientist</a> . They arrived in a huge box, how exciting!! </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">All the gifts were absolutely perfect, Helen had obviously studied my blog . </span></em><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sfERGt1WPnZIXcuca6SejpC4iD3kj-Y5X8t8kwWDq-0hEXjlflmjuaAf-vom93TvgvvECQwaQfFoHxa1GbQ2Ll8a1kPYEi_MhMpCE0iRCk70Scpc0iAvggb1acvTrXJhyTrPVBAND8I/s1600/017.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" r6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4sfERGt1WPnZIXcuca6SejpC4iD3kj-Y5X8t8kwWDq-0hEXjlflmjuaAf-vom93TvgvvECQwaQfFoHxa1GbQ2Ll8a1kPYEi_MhMpCE0iRCk70Scpc0iAvggb1acvTrXJhyTrPVBAND8I/s400/017.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">I received this wonderful up cycled jeans bag, with such pretty lining. It's already been adorned with a crochet flower and has had it's first trip out to the knit and natter group, the perfect size.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I also received a bright and fun lavender heart with the words " laugh" embroidered on the front, this is hanging near Isla's bed, I am hoping the lavender will help her sleep.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Starbucks coffee was also included, as was the ingredients to make crispy cakes, Helen has obviously took on board my limitations in the kitchen.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I also received several balls of wool, crochet magazine and some pretty ribbons.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Thank you so much. xx</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">My second parcel was a heart swap, my partner was Debs from <a href="http://twobonesandabagle.blogspot.com/">Two bones and a bagle</a> .</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Debs wrapped her beautiful gifts in the prettiest heart paper with little labels on each, I had every intention of taking a photo to show you, but as I missed the postman yesterday I had to collect the parcel from post office whilst on the way out to lunch, obviously I couldn't be expected to wait until I got home to open it, so I will admit to opening it whilst sat in the car outside the post office, very childish I know.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">If you look closely you will see I have already started eating the little heart biscuits, they are very yummy!</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Lots of lovely little heart goodies, flip flops, chocolates, muffin cases, heart sandwich cutter, lip gloss and that's just the start, look at this wonderful gift......</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Some beautiful tiny heart bunting.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Debs and I have both had a little chuckle at this as I sent her the very same tiny heart bunting, great minds think alike and all that. The pattern came from the talented <a href="http://juliacrossland.blogspot.com/">Julia Crossland</a> . I was planning to make some more of this bunting to hang above Isla's bed, now I don't have to.</span></em><br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">O.k, I will admit it, I thoroughly enjoyed last night and think I may have caught the dreaded Bieber Fever !!!</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">He put on an absolutely fantastic show and there is no denying the boy can sing, dance , play guitar, piano and the drums.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">There were guest appearances from Willow and Jayden Smith and I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of Mr Will Smith himself ( more my age group ), but this wasn't to be.</span></em><br />
<br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">It was definitely money well spent to see Dylan's face light up for the whole 2 hours.</span></em><br />

The pattern for these came from a booklet of crochet booties that I found at the charity shop, the patterns were way too frilly and over the top for me, so with a few rounds added and a few taken away this is my version.</span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">Hoping to pop these lovelies in my shop soon.</span></em><br />
<br />

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Such a pretty storage jar, it was bought with the intention of using it for my herbal tea, but with the arrival of Dudley it now has a new purpose and is filled with doggy treats .

<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">I have been lucky enough to take part in a fun swap on Folksy this week. I was contacted by Kate via my Folksy shop, to ask if I was interested in a shop swap, the idea being she chose something from my shop and I chose something of similar value from hers. I was definitely up for this after seeing the wonderful jewelery she makes, a great opportunity for me to treat myself to an individual handcrafted item without feeling guilty. </span></em><br />
<em><span style="font-family: Georgia;">This is what I chose...</span></em><br />
