Fabric swap and a sneak peak!

 I decided to take part in Bluebell and Rosies FQ fabric swap and I was partnered with Louise over at

Sew scrumtious and these are the lovely little gift's she sent me along with the 2FQ's it arrived yesterday all beautifully wrapped and labelled I just adore the scrummy FQ's and the piece of fabric she sent for Hamish I already have plan's for so watch this space!And the absolutely darling purse for Alice.Thank you very much to bluebell and rosie for hosting the swap and to my very generous partner Louise.

And a little sneak a peak at my little bit of hooky this is the start of a very simple project that is causing a few disagreements in our house as DH doesn't like the colour's and Alice think's it should be for her room!And I thought I was playing it safe sticking with a few pastel tone's and not to many colour's.I suppose you can't please everyone!Lol!

At the seaside!

 A day out today visiting nana and grandad at the seaside.

 I shall let the picture's speak for themselves mainly,except for the odd one or two.

 We stopped for a little picnic near the boating lake.

 And then onto a windmill and a minature railway ride.

And round the garden centre where this fabulous stone statue of a lion stood.A fab day out was had by all!

Ta-Dah!It's finally finished!

 The moment has finally arrived I sat up til quite late last night to finish Hamish's quilt admittedly 2 day's late of the promised deadline of friday but never late than never!

 I must say I feel rather pleased with myself not only because it's finished but because I pushed myself to finish it within an almost set time limit.

 And I made myself a little something in the process from a small scrap of Cath Kidston oil cloth fabric and I must say I just love it!

Sunflowers for me and a little progress

 Yesterday was my wedding anniversary and DH gave me some lovely sunflower's freshly cut from our garden.

 I really love this beautiful deep red one it's much darker and deeper in colour than this,it's absolutely devine!

 I tried really hard to capture it's true colour but it just didn't happen due to the bad light and needing the flash.And I have made a huge amount of progress on Hamish's long overdue quilt,the central panel is all hand stitched and has been quite time consuming.I've decided to be firm with myself and made a promise by hook or by crook it will be finished by the end of this week!So watch this space,no pressure then?Now that I've told you all.

Painting in the sunshine!

 How serious is that little face?Today was one of the first sunny day's we've had for a few day's and Alice and Hamish were dying to do some painting so they set up out in the garden with a couple of DH's old t-shirts to protect there clothes.

 Hamish appear's to be taking the whole thing very seriously and whilst they were busy painting I've been busy doing a little creating of my own!

Which I shall reveal all in good time but for now I shall leave you with a couple of picture's of my budding little artist's in the sun.

Poorly little man!

My poorly little man last night!He's just not himself at the moment he's been falling asleep on and off all day and he's been abnormally quiet,I shouldn't really complain as he's normally a really noisey little boy.

And last night for super freshly picked and cooked by DH this lovely broadbean and bacon salad.It's really tasty and such an under rated bean,so many people say "Yuk I hate broadbeans"What a real shame you really don't know what your missing folk's!
