Funny Friday

Hi peeps 
Happy Friday..... Yay it's the weekend, well almost and that's enough to make most people smile. Anyway this made me smile this week ...... A lot


My beautiful daughter at her wedding. 
But something else made me smile even more. 
Handyman and the groom making their speeches. 


It s a family tradition  but it would take far to long to explain the blackbird suits but it was very funny. 
I'm linking this to Annie's where you will find more Friday funnies

WOYWW 259 wedding, tick. ATC's, tick. the weather Aghh!

Hi Peeps
Wednesday again.... so soon, where do the days go (I know we say it every week, but it's true). Its been a very busy week again.... some wedding or other you may have seen me mention before (I will have to find a new subject next week).
pop over to Julia's stamping-ground. to see what this weekly extravaganza is all about


You get a BOGOF this week.....this is my lap desk on Tuesday evening with wedding stuff on .... still beading for my hat to match the bag I made last week and a necklace (who needs sleep).


And .....my craft room desk with the remains of my ATC making  for the 5th Anniversary swap, next week.
 I have a few spares if you would like one just let me know (I have given some to Julia to take to the crop at the weekend).
Here you can see lots of stamps, ink pads,a strange shaped mask (the green blob), a roll of oil paper I use for the mask (brilliant). At the back are the stamps for my GD birthday card... if I get time to make it tomorrow, Aghhhh! ... so much to do so little time.
Anyway gotta go I will visit as many commenters as I can this week and apologise in advance if I don't get to you.

WOYWW258 a bit of this and that

hi peeps
yes I know! Wednesday again so soon.... we say this every week don't we?

Here's my desk (messy side) this week, not very messy but  its a beginning, my theme is Mess is More! because ... well the messier the better!
there is about 10-12 magazines ..... mostly unread but I'm slowly getting through them.




The 5th anniversary Of WOYWW is only 2 weeks away I thought I really should start on my ATCs ... so I did just that, but only just. Don't know what I am talking about .....really ? you really must pop over and join in the fun
http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/

On the left is some tissue I might be using on my ATC's and next to this a first draught... maybe, on the right is a lovely bark background stamp I won from the artistic stamper, wood is the symbol for 5th wedding anniversary (well its similar)
Sadly, I cannot go to the Anniversary crop but I have made a raffle prize if I can get it to Julia in time.... here is a sneak peek.


I bagged a bargain this week in Poundland ....... a pack of 30 sheets of smooth 200g white card.... for ... yes only a pound!
Its good stuff too.

 

If you visited last week you may remember I was beading a bag for DD3 wedding.... here is the finished bag ... I don't mind showing this in advance as it's not really a spoiler.
the pattern was in the new sewing magazine.... Love Sewing.... and I do.

 
Another blogger who loves sewing and has just joined the blogging world is my DD1 so if you get time hop over to her new blog and say Hi....she is a very talented embroiderer and trained at The Royal School of Needlework at Hampton court... not that she will say that as she is quite modest ... but Mums are allowed brag!

Tea? Tuesday

Hi peeps I thought I would share my morning coffee with Elizabeth this week. 

Tuesday is grandma day in my house when I have my gorgeous GD for the day. 
We often go to our local cafe Nero whet she loves to have a gingerbread man. 
One of the best things about that is the lovely piece of shiney red card  it is packaged on........ So useful for card making ..... How sad am I ? 
But she lives going too..... So grown up!
Actually she seems more interested in changing her new doll 's clothes
Hop over to Elizabeth's for more beverage related posts

WOYWW 257 a little bit of beading

Hi Peeps,
 I nearly forgot it was Wednesday ( although I am writing this Tuesday evening) so I will make it quick, but that's just how Julia likes it....see what it's all about here what's on your work desk Wednesday

So.......Here's my desk, a bit different to the usual. It is my lap tray with some beading on it. I decided to make something to go on a handbag I am making ( yes!. ... for the wedding).
I'm not using all the beads just the ones at the front.

 
 
I have also been working on my Documented Life Project journal and have caught up 2 weeks, the first one is to use some cardboard food packaging. Chocolate! What else.
 
 
The next page is mono tone .... It had to be red.
 
 
The rest of my room looks like this. Much the same as last week.
 
 
So join in if you dare, there are lovely crafters and artists out there waiting to share their creative space with you.
Sorry if I didn't get back to you last week I will try harder this week.... promise

Ps please leave your number it really is quicker to find you TA ;-)

Friday smiles...... Happy birthday mum

Hi peeps
This week I'm smiling because it's my mums 85th birthday. 
She's a bit of a crazy old bird and sometimes drives me crazy too. ( of course that maybe where I inherited it from).



I am taking her out for lunch she wanted to go to the harvester but when we get there she may well change her mind and want to go somewhere else LOL. 
  But she is still fit and well, still drives her car, cooks all her own meals ..... From scratch, knits, sews and does exercises everyday. 
I am very thankful she is still with us.... Even if she doesn't always wear her hearing aid.... Grrr!  But she can talk for England when she gets going. 
So here a big cheer for my mum yay!
Love you Mum
Hope you are all smiling too, there are more smiles over at Annie's so take a look. http://wipso-astitchintime.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/this-weekss-smilesweek-67.html?m=1
