First of February

Hello everyone, I just can't believe we are in February already!  This last month has  gone by in a complete blur, work has been so hectic that some evenings, when finally leaving school to go home, it seems as if my brain has finally given up the ghost and sometimes this has been exactly how I have felt...

*Kimi, I share your feeling of confusion :-)

However, it is only 2 weeks to go until half term :-) :-) :-) :-) so will just battle on...

So, when lovely thoughtful gifts from lovely thoughtful folk like Taci are delivered all the way from the US you can imagine how gratefully these are received...just look at what she made for me...


A sweet bird made by crocheting pretty fabric, it is beautiful, I am writing a blog post on my tablet for the first time so the photo doesn't really do it justice as the camera isn't a very high spec, but you get the idea.  Taci I love this little bird and love that you made it for me. Thank you so so much!  Bloggers really are the best aren't they?

One thing I found out today though re. The tablet camera is that it does have a wide range of editing settings including one called oil painting, this is what Taci's bird looks like using this setting...


Pretty cool I think! Can see myself using this setting a quite a bit.

Hope you have a lovely relaxing Sunday!

The swap that just keeps on giving

Hi everyone!

My lovely swap partner and dear dear friend, Sue was partnered with me for the Spring Makes Me Sing Swap.  We swopped parcels in person as we live so close, and at the time she said she had another swapsie gift for me but that she had misplaced it at home (we both have four kids so I can understand this!!).


Anyhow, it turned up this week and boy, was I excited!

Just get an eyeful of the Tilda loveliness:



This is my kind of eye candy!


AND THERE'S HEARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (sorry Im going a bit OTT here, but I do love hearts!!)


What a lovely generous gift from a lovely generous friend - thank you so much Sue, you know me so well! 

Have a great day!
