Workwear...

... nothing beats denim.

Hardwearing, easy to wash, resilient to dogs, little fingers, ink, smudges, sticky fingers and so comfy!

As I Look To The Stars...

... I don't need to.
The Star of The Week is here with me! Every child takes a turn for genuine reasons to be Star of The Week - badges are given and certificates and reasons are given.
This time we received the accolade for 'trying really hard to listen and sharing ideas with his friends'.
Two weeks of nursery and we break up for the final time before we start reception - Summer plans under way...

Dare I say Double Denim...

I never thought I'd do the following two things -
1. Attempt fashion drawing...
2. And wear what has become classically known as '70s mum' jeans (cut off into - dare I say it (again) Bermuda shorts!!) and a denim shirt - yep! Double Denim...

The day before...

 

Tomorrow I'm getting a new tattoo! I'm swinging between 'yay!!!!!!!' (Excitement) and 'omg' (Freakin!). I heard that if you eat chocolate before hand it curbs the pain - that and then excessive adhrenaline rush...

Don't they say...

...never work with dogs & kids... All I wanted was a photo with Jasper & Sugar! I think the ball was too exciting! Jasper was almost as excited as I was to find my new T-bar shoes in the charity shop...

Just playing around...

I couldn't resist the bangles - charity shop special!
I love the all together! (but really - between repetitive strain due to the weight or accidentally bopping Mushroom on the head due to my clumsiness - I'm going to struggle wearing them).
So I came up with a new idea...

Easy DIY Jewels...

A few days ago I purchased a bag of gems for the fabulous sum of £4! It contained everything - including a chain belt, earrings, necklaces, brooches, a schnauzer pendant (awesome!) earrings (all in complete pairs!) and a handful of bracelets.
All brilliant but I'm funny about bracelets. I love them but always find it hard to get a bracelet to fit (skinny wrists). So I have come up with the easiest way to make them into necklaces with out actually doing anything! and if I would like to use them as bracelets later, well, I can...

Todays conversation...

So the conversation goes as follows -

Me - Babe, do you want to take photos?

Mushroom - Yes! I take camera...

Me - Maybe not...

Mushroom - Please!

Me - ...with both hands?

Mushroom - Yes!

Me - Yes??

Mushroom - Oops...

n.b I have a second lens - but it doesn't zoom - hence first photo... got to love them!

A Craft Gift...

Trawling through the local charity shops is a pleasure, a past time, relaxing, fruitful and delightful. I love finding the unexpected, not only for myself and our family but also for friends. Here's a wee gift I made...
