wedding bird cages and bleary eyes...

OMG and once again with a mahoosive sign of drama...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well the bird cage and candles have arrived from sister in law to be... so love getting her random buys and hearing hope in her little voice saying work your magic on it... well as is expected, the gems aren't flat backed and as luck would have it refused point blank to stick to anything...well i lie.. i managed with a whole tube of glue to fit them in the flower recess on the cage.
then the candles proved non stick able to the gems... however double sided tape and crystal headed pin tips were a big success....plus i have added some nail gems to the ribbon around the candle just cos i thought it would look cool lol....although it isn't shown in this picture.
For the little void up in the the roof of the cage  i had the brainwave of creating some turtle doves... i know these flashes if inspiration really alarm me sometimes.



i haven't entirely decided on the finished cage yet... this has just been a play time to see what can be done..... What can be done?????????????? 

Well it is the weekend again now so i am working so the cages will be abandoned til Monday, i am sure that i may well decide on something else come then... or be inundated by extra purchases sister in law to be has purchased!!!

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??????????????

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
