We are slowly chipping away at things to be done in the house but its so frustrating right now as my mind has so many things it wants to do yet my hips wont let it!! LOL We were driving through town the other day and i said to dh i wanted to ask to be dropped off but i knew i would just end up stranded as i wouldnt be able to walk anywhere anyway so whats the point – i honestly think if things were fine with my hips i wouldnt want to go anywhere!! Its only the fact i cant that really makes me want to go and get things done!! LOL
DH did however get my carboot bargain shelving put up (my ?1 bargain that just needs touching up with paint but i thought in situ was probably better than bending down!) LOL I love the fact its made some space in the larder too as ive managed to shift some of my jars of cooking goodies finally! They just need faffing up with labels etc….you didnt think i could leave them plain did you??! lol
Laura Ashley have a 25% sale off everything this weekend and typically i went shopping the day before it started – i really must take more notice of …well, notices!! lol Ive always known what kind of fruit bowl/stand i wanted and over the years have bought loads of glass/metal/plastic bowls etc but nothing ever seemed ‘perfect’. However i found this gorgeous stand and almost gasped at the perfectness (is that a word?) of it….. ive finally found the one ive been looking for!! Its so me!! LOL Then a call into the charity shop turned up the glass cake display stand next to it for ?2.50 which right now houses some coloured pretties (including the bracelet i bought from Deborah), my watch and rings etc…….you will find out why in the next bit!! LOL
Talking of coloured pretties (see the link i did there – heck that was good going with pregnancy brain!) i have been playing with the P K Glitz glitters and embossing powders this weekend and boy i forgot where glitter DOESNT get to! Heres a sneak of my first layout made for the team…I turned round and looked at dh last night and he just burst out laughing, apparently i was sparkly from head to toe!! LOL Im not the neatest of workers and have a tendency to blow on work to get rid of ‘bits’ – not a good idea when youre using powders and sparkles!! LOL
Well, im off to write up a little of tomorrows post too as im salivating at the thought of it – Week 9 brings our first sweetie shopping list and also the ‘ingredients’ you will need for a perfect little packaging idea. I love the little project ive designed and will do the tutorial one day later in the week so that you have the sweets recipe seperate, on Wednesday as usual. Perfect combination for Mothers Day and Easter 🙂
