Trick or treat!!

Alice and Hamish all dressed up for trick or treating don't they look sweet I just had to share it with you Happy halloween!

 And we carved a pumpkin with DH.

 Oooh and I've finished Hamish's chunky cross stitch cushion for christmas and I took a picture of the back too so you can have a good look at the over all effect.So all in all today I'm feeling rather pleased with myself.



Where have I been?

Firstly can I say sorry to everyone who follows my blog and was expecting me to announce a craft book giveaway this week I promise I shall be announcing one this monday.Life has been a little hectic this week the children on half term and to be quite honest I've been having a little bit of an off week where I just seem to have lost my bounce and bubble,I'm sure you know what I mean when I say those day's where you just don't feel like doing much of anything!But hay-ho I'm back now and boy have I been busy in the last 2 days!

Firstly last night as promised I took Alice to her halloween school disco!

Then this morning I got up and decided to bake some bread with Alice and Hamish!

 And what a lovely bright and breezy autumn day it turned out to be here on the Lincolnshire fens.

 Picture's of my neighbours lovely cherry blossom tree that hangs over our fence,such gorgeous colours and very pretty in full blossom too!She say's it looks far better from our side of the fence.

 And finally the last of DH's beautiful dahlia's still blooming well for this time of year.

Goodies in the post!

Look at the delicious fabric goodies that came in the post today all the way from america,I've been stalking the poor postman all week!I haven't waited at all patiently.And I can say I was really delighted this morning when this bundle of lovely fabrics landed on my door mat and looked as good in the flesh as they did online!
And look how beautifully wrapped they are with a lovely sweet stripe fabric bow almost good enough to eat!And too pretty to open!
And tomorrow when I have a little more time I shall annouce my next craft book giveaway,I'm a little behind this week!
