Beautiful sunny day, Spring is around the corner!

Baby Joseph - born 18 February 2014

Lovely new baby to enjoy.  A dear little boy, brings our total to six grandchildren and amazingly three of each.  Who could ask for more?

A recent card 

and now two more

 A card for a new baby girl

and one for a boy's card, I did cheat and found the typewriter picture on the internet and the keyboard was a cushion (on the internet too) that I added.  I jazzed it up with cogs and wheels!

January news

Tuesday 28 January 2014

Today is a cold but bright day.  Surprisingly no snow here in England yet.  I expect its building itself up for a big strike.  Sun is shining brightly and I had a lay in this morning with breakfast in bed!  How nice.  The paper to read and a warm bed to snuggle into.  Things cannot get much better.

Some cards I have made over the past few weeks:

Happy New Year to one and all!

• Lots to look forward to this year.  First new baby grandchild around the 1st March.  A happy and healthy new year for everyone.
• Tai chi lessons this year. Must get fit!  Start again next week, can't wait!  Will try to get some walks in too.

February 2013 - How time flies!!!

Some cards from last year

Well it's been a while since I last added something. 

We've had Christmas, New Year, snow and now let's hope spring is just around the corner.  We managed to get an allotment at the beginning of the year, so hope to get down and dirty and grow some good food, getting ourselves fit with some digging.  Sounds more fun than going to the gym and some nice veg at the end of it.

Potatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,  plus raspberries, blackcurrants, gooseberries just for a start!  Let alone lettuces, cabbages, kale and so on!

Lots to do and lots to dig

but since taking the picture, have dug lots (weather permitting!) and the fruit bushes are in!

Some recent cards!

A couple of cards made earlier this year.  Will upload some more soon!

Special day today - our son's birthday!  Although that card (above) was for a grandson's birthday.

Winter approaches!

Colder days and nights as winter creeps in.  We've been spoilt by the mild autumn days, but now it's time for warm stews and sauces.  Today it's a tomato and veggie one for pasta.

Hospital tomorrow for Herceptin treatment.  Am going "au naturel" again with my new very, very short white head of hair.  Wonder if I am going down with a cold though as I have a rather sore throat.  So lots of honey and lemon drinks and probiotics, etc.

Detail from a card recently made.

Christmas shopping is now under way, I have made tentative starts and more often, stops, but hope all will be achieved before the 25th December!
