Very shortly I am hoping to reveal my latest hooky finish but for now I shall give you a sneak-a-peek and leave you to guess what it will turn into?<br />
I really am enjoying the cheerful colour choice given the weather at the moment, which is not so nice :-(<br />
Well I must get on, so many ideas to get hooking! 😃</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I started this hooky project at the beginning of the summer holidays, only now its nearly finished I'm not so sure I like it.</span><div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">In case you are wondering its a cushion cover or its going to be a cushion cover and that quite simply is my dilemma! To finish it or not? Consign it to the thrift shop bag or not? Is it simply too bright to take pride of place on the sofa or should I have chosen something more subtle? </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">All opinions on this matter are gratefully received xx</span><br /></div>

And I thought you might love this picture,Hamish did a sponsored welly walk at school on friday and this is him in my new wellies on friday morning.He had been really excited all week about doing the walk and I must say he did really well for someone who normally grumbles about walking the dog any distance ;-)<br />

First of all I'm thrilled to reveal my finished Cath Kidston tapestry jubilee cushion,feeling very satisfied and smug I must say . . . . .although the journey has not been an easy one.As I ran out of the cream colour wool and then my attempt at doing a piping cord edge failed miserably and of course I then mis-judged just how small the cushion turned out and had to make the inner pad two or three times.So it has been a steep learning curve and it will be sometime before I re-visit the piping cord edging again!<br />

My hooky hanging owl Ta-Dah!I'm sooo proud of myself & it may not be perfect but I'm truly thrilled with it!The owl was actually a little purse pattern off another blog I follow,sadly I can't remember the name of the blog,but I decided I would rather like a hanging owl than a purse.I jus tlove owl's of the hooky or fabric kind!<br />

And on to my current work in progress that I keep picking up and putting down,a Cath Kidston tapestry union jack cushion,that I thought I might have finished for the jubilee Ho-hum nevermind perhaps for the olympics this summer lol!I shall up-date you on that one as it progresses and perhaps I can come to terms with my cushion phobia or rather making them/finishing them and how to?Any advice greatly recieved on how to finish off my cushion.I may just get plenty done with the weather we're having in my little patch at the mo,rainy,wet and windy,and thinking of lighting the fire :-(</div>georgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16089558483948085264noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455698916286351885.post-5693764357741364182012-06-07T11:17:00.001-07:002012-06-07T11:17:25.320-07:00Ayyup TIGER!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

AYYUP TIGER!!Hamish's 4th birthday was a rather mixed bag because he actually had a viral infection on the day and was a very poorly boy.These photo's are from Sunday,2 weeks after his birthday when we went to a place called crazee bongo's!He just had to be a tiger on the day and what a great time they had.<br />

Hamish had a homemade chocolate cake followed by a visit and photo with crazee bongo the giant monkey himself.This week has been half term and to be honest I haven't done much in the way of sewing or crafting,I am really disappointed with myself . . . . . . .although I started to make a quilt top about a month ago,with the jelly roll I got a few years ago for my birthday.Hopefully I shall get round to posting some progress picture's on here very soon!And this summer I plan to make a list of all my WIP's to be completed as I've started to notice alot of starts and not alot of finish's :-( tut!tut!</div>georgiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16089558483948085264noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7455698916286351885.post-44180668820458660852012-04-19T11:06:00.000-07:002012-04-19T11:06:35.059-07:00A little something for the weekend!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

It hardly had time to cool down before I tucked in for the first slice.I did manage however a little stitchy make not quite finished but that's for this weekend.I couldn't resist buying the new Cath Kidston book stitch and when I found it on amazon for the small sum of £6.39 I just couldn't say no!And let me say I was not one bit disappointed it was worth every penny.Some truly gorgeous design's that got my creative juice's flowing.<br />

And lastly a little bit of Hamish style easter baking,he ate more eggs than went in the nest's and some nest's had five or six eggs squished deep inside them,Oooh what fun we had.I wonder if you've all had a good easter and one with lots of crafting?<br />

Alice has had a wobbly tooth for a week or two,finally on thursday when she had friends to play her tooth got knocked out by accident with some help from little brother Hamish,however the saga didn't end there as she took the tooth and put it under her pillow when she'd been told to leave it on the side til later.Unfortunately whilst playing the tooth was forgotten about and lost.Alice was beside herself that night asking "will the tooth fairy still come?".The next morning she woke up and found the tooth on her bedroom floor soo the tooth fairy finally turned up last night.Drama over . . . . . . Phew!!<br />
