How Nice

This is my loveliest of grangaughters who is almost a whole two years old.
It made my day today when she came to me for a cuddle and told me " Nana is the best"
How can you not have a big ego after that.?

Birthday Bear

I have this wonderful lovely and thoughtful friend in the UK who i have mentioned before, she knows i am always running late with her present and i think expects that now, i don't forget just am fashionably late.. any way this little fellow is leaving here on Monday to wing his way to her.. i think he is cute and i love the green and blu together.

Tote Bag Tutorial

This is my bag made from my friend Khris's tutorial, i finally got around to posting about is.. sorry Khris it has taken me so long, i was pleased how it turned out.
I am now eager to make another one, i am thinking with cats on it for my daughter in law.

More Reading

More reading on the agenda from Opa but the mistake was trying to read with the light attached to the book, Caprice found that a lot of fun.. more so than reading which was a disaster... oh well

Reading

My grandaughter Caprice loves to read and just loves it when her favourite uncle is there to read to her. At the moment he is jet setting in America and she misses him and keeps asking " Is Uncle Shaun here"

Week-End Blues

Fridays to me are like most other peoples Sundays, the day before going back to work for another week, now i ask you is that not depressing? A big yes fron me but at least tonight i don't have to cook tea.. my DIL is cooking and we are going early to play with our favourite grandaughter.

Tote Bag Tutorial

My lovely and talented friend Khris has a great tutorial on a tote bag that she designed, it looks very easy and has been made in some lovely flattering colours, well worth a look and of course if you make it up Khris would love to see some photos of it.
