HI, Nothing much to report just been trying to have a spring clean and get rid of some old bits and bobs and freshen up some wardrobe space ready to get some new spring clothes.
I came across my photos and above is the finish I made of my mothers days card for my mum, it was a pattern I brought over in the states at the end of last year. I was only wishing I was still there! I could have been stuck by the ash! that would have been nice, a few extra days in the warm.
I'm just trying to finish up my spring swap and get it in the post for Gill, unfortuantely I missed my post man today so have to wait 48hours before I can collect my goodies from the post ofice - I just hate it when that happens!!!
Well better get of to the school to collect Adam.

Today I have been to the gorgeous Cragside for a look around the beautiful house and gardens and as usual it was absolutely breath taking, it must have been really fantastic when it was an actual house with maids and gardeners. The boys were able to run wild whilst I did a litle cross stitch, following there I nipped into Highley gate garden centre but I still think its a little early for my bedding plants, but the colours of all the plants were simply stunning. well must press on jude x

Well, I haven't wrote for quite some time but feel a bit inspired to do so after reading loads of blogs for ages. I have finally finished a cross stitch today which has taken me almost three years to complete off and on! phew, I'm really pleased because it has been at the bottom of my sewing basket for a long long time. I think i will give it to my Grandad as he is very special to me.
