Bra's !!!!!!!!

Cottonreel and I went shopping yesterday this is usually a good experience but, Kathleen (cottonreel) was looking for Bra's, have you ever shopped for Bra's with a friend? well it is a unique experience. Kathleen did not want to be measured she was not in the mood for stripping off so we found some pretty Bra's which she thought were the right size, when we went to pay the assistant suggested she be measured, she gave in and disappeared into the changing room for what seemed like a long time but came out with a smile on her face wearing her new bra her old one in the box she had decided it was too comfortable to remove. We were very pleased but Kathleen was shocked that she needed such a large cup and we giggled a lot about this. Kathleen then decided that she would look in M&S for at some more bra's with a bit of oomph! you know more lace, pretty colours, she loves pretty underwear, we must have spent over an hour looking for her new size , I was on my hands and knees looking on the bottom rails for her size she found a few but was cross that the pretty one's did'nt seem to go up to her size, whats the matter with Bra manufacturers? do they think once you reach a certain age you don't need to feel pretty in your underwear, well Kathleen is 78 years old and still likes a sexy bra.
Last night the phone rang it was Kathleen she was giggling a little bit, all the bra's she had bought did not fit although she had chosen the size she had been measured for , we spent about 10 minutes laughing a lot because we have to go through all this again and we see the funny side of most things, soooo! within the next few days we are again going Bra shopping I hope there will be lots of coffee involved or I won't be able to cope but we can't drink too much coffee because then we have to visit lots of loo's and that can be a problem because they are not always where you need them to be, oh well, Happy Days.

What A Cutie

This is Jude my one an only grandchild, I could'nt resist this photo in his bear suit.

What a week it has been rain, rain, and yet more rain it has been very depressing, everything in my garden is very green and the weeds love the rain I have just been out to do some weeding and boy do they love the rain.
I cannot believe that I was ordering tickets for the Malvern Quilt Show yesterday it will soon be here, Kathleen and I love this show it's not too big and it is situated in such a beautiful spot, well thats something to look forward to.

We had some lovely news over the weekend my son Andrew asked his girlfriend Becky if she would marry him and she said YES! so I suppose we will be thinking about weddings soon, we are very happy for them they are lovely and well suited.

My husband Tony retires soon and I am looking forward to spending more time with him, we hope to do a bit of travelling.

Antique Pin Cushions

I love pincushions, I especially love looking for antique ones, I love to think of the people who have used them over the years. Whenever we go to an Antiques Markewt of Flea Market I look for them. My husband tries to find them for me for birthdays and christmas, I have told him not to pay too much as some of them are very expensive and thats not why I collect them I collect them because I like them.

CQJP For April

This is my CP square for April, I quite like this one, I love the Bee heading for the flowers.
Are you all having the same problems with blogger with this new set up, it's a real pain.
I have had a lazy weekend, the weather has been a bit indifferent but I think the people who wanted rain should be happy.
Do you remember the summers when you were young? I do and I know they were very warm and sunny and we played out in the sun for hours, we skipped and did handstands and played Hopscotch and when it was time to come in  for a meal we really did,nt want to be bothered but, the weather now seems very strange.
My husband finishes work at the end of May and I am looking forward to being able to just take off and stay away as long as we want to, I love having Tony at home.

Primroses and Pansies

You will have to crick your neck to look at my photo's because blogger will no let me turn them.
It has been a beautiful but very cold day today, my garden has been taken over by wild primroses, they are so pretty, the big pot with the pansies looks lovely, is there anything more beautiful than flowers especially spring one's.

Still Going Crazy

I am still embellishing my crazy quilt it is taking quite a long time, I did'nt realise how many seams there were, it looks very pretty in a lot of places and very bare in other places but I do enjoy prettyfying and I learn new things all the time, I have become a Lace and bead fiend, I love to search for old lace when we go to any antiques fairs so if you see a bottom sticking out from one of the sales tables it is probably mine I always search the boxes on the floor.
The garden is quite an inspiration at the moment I have lots of primroses,violets, tulips and pansies out and the tree blossoms are very pretty I think this time of year is one of the nicest.
