Happy mothers day...

Happy mothers day to my fabulous Mum and all my Mum-friends, hope you have had a lovely day!!

I had a lovely bunch of flowers and a handmade card off my little doodlebug and he woke me up at 7.15am (!!!) with a hug! Actually he climbed on top of my bed and squished me until I woke up!! It was cute!!

The last few days have been nice and dry so my Mum helped me weed the garden and we put the water fountain in a better place (It was stuck on the grass and didn't look right!)

I've taken some pretty pictures, I love taking photos!!......

This yellow flower is creeping over my fence from one of the neighbours but I think its so pretty that Ive let it just grow.

Hope all you lovely bloggers have had a lovely weekend too

Lovely letters...

I have been a busy busy bee!!

My friend is having a baby girl soon and she asked me to make some fabric letters to go on the wall of the nursery.

She has called the baby Mali, which is the welsh version Molly...beautiful name. 

Here is the result...what do you think?

Happiness is.....

This week I received a fabulous parcel from dosierosie. 

I love parcels, its like having a mini birthday!!

I had a Homespun magazine which has loads of wonderful ideas for me to try, a bar of organic milk chocolate, some English Breakfast tea from Teapigs and an Emma Bridgewater mug that says "Happiness is a cup of tea & a new magazine....and a bar of chocolate"....so very true!!!

 

I took my mug to work as my friend accidentally smashed my Cath Kidston one whilst on a tea round, and I also took the bar of chocolate and tea bags......bad idea!! The chocolate was gone in 10 minutes flat and the tea bags....well.....I have never tasted such lush tea!! Now, I always thought tea was tea but how wrong was I?!!! This tea is GORGEOUS!!!! The best tea ever!!

(my button fell off my cardigan!!)

So, thank you so much for my parcel, Gill....I loved it!

Just to let you all know as well that if I ever reach 50 followers I will be holding my own giveaway! Exciting!!

Green fingers...

As today was so lovely and sunny I decided to give the gardening a go!!

Its not been touched since it started getting chilly last year and so the grass is overgrown and dead in patches and the plants have taken over the path!!

I mowed the lawn and scattered some new seeds to help it grow again so it doesn't resemble a rugby pitch and I cut back some of the plants. It looks a lot better but not great, more attention is needed to get it how it looked last summer!!

I took a few pictures around the garden....

This is a Christmas Rose I've been told?...

Roll on summer!!!

Lucky me!...

I was lucky enough to be a runner up for a giveaway by the lovely Jenny at Winnibriggshouse.

Woohoo!!!

The postman arrived this morning just before I was due to go out and I was all excited to receive my lovely parcel.

It was fabulous!! Inside the 2 little parcels were cute applique embellishments and 2 Puffin bars - yum yum!!!

I'm very happy with my gift, thank you so much Jenny, so thoughtful of you.

This week I'll be sewing up some Mothers Day hearts, so i'll put them on my blog when I'm done to show you all.

Book worm....

Evening everyone, just a short post today as I'm oh-so tired!!

The weekend seemed to pass so fast, soon I'll be stuck back in the office :(

So tonight I will be having a lovely hot bubbly bath, cuppa tea and will be reading my new book.

My parents got me this book for Christmas and it is extra special as it has been signed by the author, fabulous!!!

I love my parents to bits!! They are the best!

I'd also like to add, following the horrendous news recently, thoughts go out to everyone that has been affected. 

Sleep tight
