Happy belated mothers day!

To all those mothers who have given the best gift and have the best job..I cant wait to join your gang!

Thank you to my Mum who is wonderful and lovely and creative and laid back and unique and who did a super job of raising four children single handedly..and those children are fabulous ..including me! HA!

For mothers gift I bought her 'The Liberty book of home sewing' which is filled with amazing bits to make and I made her two scarfs because she loves scarfs! I also made her a card from the pages of a 1950s magazine.

Wills, Me, Nell, Mum and Charlie.

  Love you Mum! xxxx

My new cushion.

On this lovely sunny day me, Nell, Josephine and Mum went for a stroll about town and lunch. We looked through pretty baby clothes, spoke about our holiday in August (SO excited!) and drank delicious drinks in the fruity Cosy Club.

I bought a pretty plant and Mum bought me some Daffs.

Andrew relaxed at home drawing with Chinese inks with the warm sunshine beaming through the window.

Also, finally got round to putting up my beautiful painting by Benjamin Rees - Thomas.

Also...a cheeky 6 year old and fruity 4 year old

The munchkins had a family party today to celebrate their special days. Coby turned four today and Tyler turns six tomorrow. Thankfully Coby was born on a leap year which meant that Tyler didnt have to share his birthday. They are exactly 2 years apart.

Today they have both received HEAPS of gifts, enjoyed yummy cakes and experienced retro sweeties (push pops and fizz wizz).

So a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tyler and Coby..You rock my world and I love you both! 

Two little munchkins..

Last night I baby sat my nephews, Tyler and Coby. When I got to my brothers house they were meant to be in bed, I was supposed to get them to bed pretty sharpish - but how boring is that?! So we finished watching 'Alvin and the chipmunks' (oh dear), read some books, made some funny phone calls to Andrew and Auntie Nell - actually Coby wanted to talk to Josephine- and did some drawings of super cool turbo cars! We also ate sweeties and bless little Ty Tots, he came into the living room carrying a plate of three glasses of milk and six chocolate cookies..Whats a wonderful host, his mother will be so proud!
We also played Harry Potter which Coby (Sorry, Harry- kept getting told off for calling him Coby) continued to do until he fell asleep.
After much persuasion they finally got into bed and fell asleep to me reading 'Horrible Histories World War II' in the most boring monotone voice I could do.

I hope they aren't too grumpy today! I love those munchkins!

Happy pancake day everyone!

Its pancake day yes, its pancake day yes, its p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pancake day!!
(A song from 'Maid Marion and her merry men' a kids show we used to LOVE!-We sing it/ text it/message it to each other every year) I made 13 pancakes and Andrew and I enjoyed them with cheese, lemon & sugar and icing sugar. Sooo scrummy!

Today I had some snuggles and chats with Josephine at my Nanny's house and received a beautiful painting by Benjamin Rhys-Thomas. (I shall take and post photos of the painting soon)

Gemmie and Spence

Ps. A very large CONGRATULATIONS to my lovely friend Gemma and her boyfriend Spencer who have just announced that they are expecting a wee one! Very exciting!! xxxx

Happy birthday little 'un!

Today my cousin, Fran and her fiance Brett, hosted their baby girl Kasie's first birthday party. There was a bright pink princess bouncy castle, Disney music and heaps of food! Kasie had a whale of a time. Tyler and Coby spent the whole day running around, playing tag, Transformers and Star Wars..I also had to play. I wore my new bargain boots (£70 from £165) and showed off my new hair. Josephine was introduced to lots of the family and was as good as gold. I made Kasie a coat from a 1950s pattern for her birthday. Its a tad large but hey ho, it will last a good while at least.

I forgot to have some birthday cake..damn!

Happy 1st birthday Kasie!!

Also, WELL DONE to Fran who raised £100 at the party doing a 'guess the name of the bear' for the Royal United Hospital who's staff has helped little Kasie with her Hypothyroidism.

Ps. Some more photos of the beautiful Miss Josephine.

Love this photo of Kasie - so serious

Haze and Zenny bowling

Cream tea!!

Weeny crab!

Andrew found some new hair in the charity shop.

Andrew and I had such a wonderful time in Cornwall with Hazel, Jonni, Rosenwyn and Edyn. We went bowling, wondered through Falmouth, enjoyed some tasty deli delights, went to Trago Mills, found crabs on the beach, saw lots of seals and pups, had cream teas and pasties and played with Sylvanian Families.

Edyn is utterly gorgeous. He looks just like his mummy and has the cutest little smile. Rosenwyn adores him and loves giving him kisses.

We also went for lunch at my Grannie Annie and Grandpa's house in St. Just. My Grandpa made a delicious risotto and we went to the antique shops in the village.

I wish so much that Hazel and her little family lived closer. We miss them all so much.
