A Week in Photos

Hello to all the new people looking at my blog, hope you like what you see.

I thought I'd do a bit of a round up of what's been going on over the last week.

Firstly, I received this beautiful bag from May-lis in, as part of a handmade bag swap, she also knitted me a lovely hat. Thanks May-lis!

Every holiday I plan to have a major tidy and I finally started (that's a photo of a tidy utility room!) but of course you find things when tidying, like a box of broken crayons............... (cue craft project)

I knew I'd seen on t'internet that someone had melted crayons into big cake sized ones, so I thought I'd have a go. Waste not, want not and all that.

This is what happened, they look a bit of a mess but when you peel the cases off they look a bit more promising and they work. I think they'd be great for toddlers who want to just scribble!

(I'll post instructions if anyone wants to know how to make them.)

Then I decided to try and get the stains out of our damask napkins, nearly did it, only a few are still stained. So if you come over for dinner and I start rearranging napkins you know what you've sat at the place with the stained napkin!

I'm not house proud at all but I couldn't resist taking a photo of these on the line, they looked so cool.

Now, why is it that when you try and get sorted and tidy, someone else gets bored and makes a mess?

Then after 364 days of planning Euan finally reached his 6th Birthday, hooray! only only 359 days until his next one!
