Happy Birthday Gabs

Our little girl is 8 today! Where has the time gone, just a quick post to show you our lovely day. Gabs had to go into town to spend the Birthday money that was instantly burning a hole in her pocket! one of the buys was a One Direction  Tshirt as seen in the pics! this will now never be taken off as she is mad on them, closely followed by Moshi Monsters. Here are a few pics of her day which was finished off lovely with a trip to Grandma and Grandads for a Sunday Dinner and a play. Back to school tomorrow! So early night for Fin and Gabs and Titanic and a glass of wine for me and Will! Have a great week everyone, hope it warms up it is freezing here!

 Gabs has a real life "Ellie" as we call her, and she so correctly pointed out that Ellie is 8 today as well. A talented lady called Louize made this for Gabs, we love it and am sure Gabs will keep it a long time.

 Playing nicely together, for once! Fin has been quite nice to Gabs today! Wonder if it will last longer than today.

 Speedy Gon Gabsy!

 Footy had to be involved at some point of the day!

off she goes!

It has been a lovely day!

Happy Easter

Happy Easter to everyone, hope you have all had a lovely weekend so far.
Ours has been quiet but nice but has included lots of cleaning! Will has his cleaning head on well and truly and has gone through the house like a snowstorm! Fab I tell you, we did completely sort our room out together though! Which is now completely a bedroom and no longer any form of work space! not a thread, button or spray glue to be seen! Everything has now been moved to the shop and it feels like I have home back! it has took me long enough mind you.
Fin and Gabs are enjoying being off school and I LOVE not having the school run to do! I am having the next few days off, though have brought some sneaky work home, Will is back at work on Tues so he will never know! I have been absent from blogging a while, lots going on and cannot seem to find the time, but am going to try! I have a lot to catch up on as well with all your lovely blogs.
Been making lots of new things, not sure which ones to show you, I have had some work in Crafts Beautiful Magazine and it is lovely to be back working for them  now that I am on the mend, here is this months issue to show you,

It is such a shame the weather has turned for the holidays though quite typical really, here are my two enjoying the beach when it was warmer and a sneak peek from a Pheasant!

now it is rainy and freezing but at least no snow unlike some unlucky ones.
My Dad's sheep are lambing like fury at the moment and a lovely Bull Calf  was born this morning, no pics sorry, I forgot my camera, next time though.
Here are a few more makes,

 The paper used on these cards was a real find, though I had had it all along, Gabs was given a lovely old kidney shaped dressing table and this paper as used to line it, whilst cleaning it out a while back it suddenly struck me that I should use it and ever since the cards made with it have been selling really well, I was coming to an end of the paper when Kirsty, the lady whose the dresser was when she was little popped in the shop, noticed the makes made with the paper and said she was sure they had saved a roll!! blimey I thought the paper is about thirty years old! thank goodness some people never throw things away! I now have plenty!
Have a lovely rest of your Easter break everyone, I am going to do a little blog reading! Hope the sun comes out a little for us all.
