Birthday weekend

Well, another year older and wiser for me this week. I observed the tradition of not working on my birthday so enjoyed a long weekend with a couple of days off work.

The boys were very excited about birthday stuff as per usual and were really hyper about their present to me. Shrivelled apple Emporer Palpatine anyone!?

Reuben made me wear my birthday stickers...




Not quite the same as wearing your 'I am four' badge eh?

I accomplished lots of crafty stuff too including the laying out and coding of Jo's wedding quilt and creating miles of wedding bunting - no photos till after the big day!

I also sewed a replacement cover for Dave's car boot find of a beat up old directors chair.

I ordered the material for our bedroom curtains AND I made a table cloth ...



Boy what a busy few days :)

We had some good stuff - grown up tea out for the two of us, first time in goodness knows how long . And some usual stuff too - family snuffles coming on and appalling customer service and traipsing about trying to get my watch fixed! Such is life.

I'd just like to ask one question. How did I get so old?

I'm a lucky lady

Just a quick post to say I got a lovely pressie today from t'other half - a no specific reason, just an 'I saw this and thought of you' pressie. The best kind!



It is a book of cute Japanese baby makes - little toys, clothes and storage thingies designed by Aranzi Aronzo. It has things like a nappy holder with appliqued poo on it! Erm ok :) Maybe not - but some of the other designs are fab. It looks really fun and a bit bonkers, especially with the translated instructions.

More things to add to my long to make list. Which reminds me, enough of playing computer and on with some knitting!

Toodle pip!
