Charity Shop Find

Hello, I bought this shelf from one of the many charity shops, it cost me £5 I have been working on it and in the next few days I will show you what I have done with it.
Today has been a typical Monday, shopping for food with Kathleen, we had a good day and we managed to sort out a problem Kathleen had with her interlocker, I don't know much about them but apparently they are a pain to thread, it was a very simple problem which could have been solved quite quickly if the manufacturers instructions were clearer it really should,nt be that difficult.

A Little Holiday

Hello everyone, we have been away for a week when we heard the weather was going to be good we just upped and went. We were lucky to get an apartment in Brighton in the Marina, we actually stayed in an apartment on a pontoon that is floating on the sea in the beautiful evenings and watched the sun go down it was lovely, our balcony looked out over all the boats moored up for the summer some of them going out for the day and some people actually living year round on tneir boats. We have eaten lovely food mooched around antique shops and generally had a relaxing time. There were lots of things I would have liked to bring home but of course there was nowhere to put them we only have a small car but I took photo's. We are home now and the washing is done just the ironing to do ( that may take a little longer)

A Weekend with Jude and Kate

Hello all, Tony and I have had a lovely weekend with Kate and Jude,Jude's Daddy is on a boys stag weekend so they came to stay with us, Jude is growing so quickly and is such a happy boy we love seeing him.

The weather here in England has been absolutely awfull there are so many floods, those poor people I cannot imagine what that must be like. I am off now to get ready for Murray/Federer it will be hard to watch, I have a cushion ready, (I don't know how i suddenly went to italics).

A Funny Thing Happened

Shopping today, collected Kathleen (cottonreel) called in at the bank to unlock Kathleens pin, on the way out of the bank Kathleen asked me to feel inside her skirt band as something did'nt feel right, I looked and could see a line so far down across her backside but nothing else, we carried onto Fosse Park (shopping Mall) and went into BHS (department store) as we were walking around Kathleen was still squirming and fidgeting about and suddenly she said I need to get to a toilet my knickers are coming down, well of course we started to giggle and as the toilets were upstairs we started to go up by which time the knickers were a knee level which made me giggle even more because I had visions of Kathleen stuck half way up the stairs with her knickers locking her legs together, by this time we were helpless, totally incapable of moving, tears streaming down our faces, we finally got to the top of the stairs and into the toilet where Kethleen removed he offending item and put them in her handbag, Honestly you just do not know what is going to happen when you share a day with Kathleen but boy do we have fun.

CQJP for May

This is my CQJP block for May I am a little behind but June will follow shortly. These little crazy patchwork blocks are so nice to do and when all twelve are finished I am looking forward to putting them together. Every time I go through my bits for a block I get sidetracked playing with all the lovely things. Oh well! time to dish the dinner up.

Children and Wars

Here are three little Teddies I have knitted to go to a war torn country somewhere in the world, they have their own little bag too. Doctors have found that children who have someone to cuddle and love get better much quicker than those who don't so these teddies are always needed as the children are allowed to take them home when they are feeling better. Sadly this is an ongoing thing, so I will be knitting them for a long time.

Long Time No See

Hello everyone, its quite a while since I posted anything, my husband Tony retired and we have been busy with bank things and just generally enjoying being together. Yesterday we went to Donnington Antiques Fair and I spied this little bobbin case and I could,nt resist it. I also bought the Lavender box which I love, Lavenham Lavender is famous in England and to go to the Lavender fields is quite something, I am not quite sure what I am goung to put in it but I will show you when I have decided.

The sun is actually shining today, Tony has gone fishing and I am going shopping with cottonreel, the garden has been looking lovely with lots of Lupins and Foxgloves, very pretty, I think we have two days of sunshine and then we are back to the rain Hey Ho!
