Tired but Smug...

Well here i am at the end of another week and i am feeling shattered, probably due to the fact that i didn't get to bed til 1am this morning as i had to make my youngest sons party invites for him to take into school  today and i did PROMISE... plus as it is Mothers Day on Sunday, i am hoping that the love and toil i have shown will be rewarded... i am saying that with a tongue jutting out my cheek ...............
Anyway he was pleased with me this morning and had his invitations clutched tight in his hand as he wandered across the playground feeling all important.
Here they are.. excuse the mad pixel-ling on them you don't know who is reading in cyborg land.

i will have 8 around in total, i am consoling myself that  it is only a few hours and not a sleepover as middle son had last month..so i am going to have a trawl through the internet for a few more wacky games to play.
I went shopping today and bought the party food and loads of sweets which i have divided out into some clear pint tumblers, i am going to wrap them up in cellophane that i have still left over from Christmas and they will replace the party bags.

The bird cage centerpieces for my Brothers wedding are now completed and are ready to be dropped off or collected whoever makes the effort first, i posted them on my Facebook and had some lovely comments so that always makes me feel happy.
all i have to do now is the Table plan board and then i'm done..apart from having to write a poem to read on the day!!!

I haven't got much else to say apart from another smug comment in that it was my boys parents evening last night and my neck is aching this morning from supporting the sheer weight of my big head. They are both doing really well in school and are a credit to the school and to us and to themselves. I was also told that my youngest son has a natural gift in Art...(.That will make 2 Artists in the family then, as my eldest son was extremely talented..but since obtaining his diploma in art and design a couple of years ago he has not looked at anything Arty full stop!).

introducing Geraldine my first knitted project....

Well i have been clickety clicking away ... i have felt a bit under the weather this week so after doing all the chores i have been ensconced on the settee wrapped up in my nice throw watching the box set of friends that my eldest son bought us all last December as an early Christmas pressie. Inspired by Mrs Bond of woolly words i have been busy knitting and then re knitting as things regularly went wrong...odd sized legs, knee joints in thighs..head knitted in wrong color wool...(typo pattern error that one) , but finally.. not perfect by any means of the imagination, i have knitted my first ever project...so with great Tralaaaa's i introduce Geraldine... She was knitted in Dk wool that i picked up nice and cheap from the Range, and the pattern is a King cole Halloween one, there are also patterns on the sheet for pumpkins, cat and spiders.... i may knit a cat to keep her company as now my project is finished my hands are twitching for something to do. I must admit despite the

Where is April going??????????????

Image
Its already the 15th of April and the month is half gone, who has the last 14 days??? So i'm trying to rack my little brain cells and think what has passed since i last blogged. well the wedding and the pictures are still at the forefront, such a lovely day that you cant just forget about it in a hurry. i have found an album in my stash of crafting goodies that will be a perfect little keepsake so i shall start working on that soon, I've managed to get some really nice pictures so with a little bit of cropping and editing i think i will have a lovely album to give as a special gift to my brother and sister in law. The boys have been home from school but i have been at work on and off so once again i have done boo diddly squat with my little men. They have contented themselves mostly with bouncing on the trampoline that hubby rebuilt... the springs are a bit rusty where they had been hiding in a black bin liner, but it is working well, i just need to get a cover to go over

sad times and baking

Haven't been on here for a bit, we have had some very sad news concerning my father in law who has been battling cancer for the last 5 years.... unfortunately he has taken a turn for the worse and is currently being cared for by our local hospice, and now sadly it is just a matter of time. We have been reading all the reports of Britain in the big freeze and that the entire country is frozen or covered in snow.... well that would be all of Great Britain then..apart from Weston super mare... where i have not seen one little flurry of whiteness!! Not that I'm complaining because it does cause traffic problems and minor injuries, but a pretty sprinkle would have been nice. I've been  baking in the  week, I've made several loaves of bread..plus .some bread rolls that could have been used for throwing at coconuts..i didn't give them to the birds they would have probably choked. i did make some chocolate nut brownies which were a success, and i made some lemon meringu
