http://exchangeheaven.blogspot.com/
we would love for you to join us, we are just organising a christmas in the summer exchange at the minute.....

Woohoo its here........

My scrapping kit that is,

so now i have photos, i have paper, so what shall i do with it all lol mmmmm lets see what i can come up with, its a long time since i have scrapped and have lost all ideas and mojo, probably need to have a look around and see if something inspires me.....and on the stitching front here is my progress on "the family sampler", its coming along slowly but surely, actually enjoying stitching this at the minute, i was not really in the zone when i started it but i am getting there now, i am loving the fact it gives you option for how many children you want to put in plus dogs and cats, so i am having me and the girls on one side dh and ds on the other with a dog and a cat.

so now i don't know what to do this evening, i need to be making quilts for wood-n-stitches but i want to be stitching and playing with paper HELP !!!!!!!!

Carboot find........

Now i know not everyone gets excited about such little things as i do but on my usual sunday morning wonder round the carboot with the grandson and apart from the usual little toys and bits i come across, i found these this morning..... thought they would be perfect for displaying some stitching on, and when asked the price i was told 50p each i just had to have all 3....i love them, one need a very minor repair, but thats fine, seen as i expected them to say a couple of quid each i am a happy bunny with my find this morning.......
I was going to show you my progress on LHN "The Family Sampler" but while writing this blog entry i realised i have forgotten to take a piccy, which is essential to showing you something lol, so i will carry on stitching this afternoon and take a pic later......

Sunny Sunday........

if not a little breezy, but lovely in the sun, it started off early when jake and i went for a wonder round the car boot, jake is such a smart little chap, i bought him 3 little cars and a clear as anything he said to the lady, "could i have a bag please" and without me even prompting him, the lady behind the stall melted on the spot lol,

we then went to a scrapping shop where he was as good as gold and played in the kiddies corner while i bought some bits, some of which were kiddies transport themed papers.......and low and behold when grandad gets home off they go to wash the car, perfect for the transport theme lol

now he looks very busy but i can assure you most of the water ended up on him and not the car....but he enjoyed it none the less

ok so i have bought papers i have taken photos now i just need to put them all together mmmmmm

This weeks stitching.....

I got on ok with my stitching this week, quite enjoyed being in the zone again, although for some reason i have charts august and december missing so i need to find those, or re buy them before i can finish, i still have october and november to do which i do have the charts for but i am going to have a break and work on ....

LHN "the family sampler" i started at christmas, while i am in the zone lol
then i want to work on some little ornies me thinks, just what i fancy doing at the minute!!
