New Little One In Town

Woo hoo! There is now a new, teeny, tiny member of our family. Daniel was born on Monday. Congratulations to Malcolm, Jo and Sally on their new addition! I can't wait to meet him...





Today is so lovely and sunny. I am really hot in just a t-shirt sewing monkeys by the window. One of the monkeys I am making may actually be my favourite ever too. All is good. I have just succumbed and bought a mixed set of postcards from Yuuco who I blogged about yesterday. She is as lovely as she sounds from her shop notices too! I am going to frame the prints and put them in the hallway I think.

Right, I am going to go out in the sun. I need to post some cards and most of the 'no coat' weather! Oh yeah, just before I go, I have added a new Etsy Mini of my favourite items on Etsy at the moment. It is down there on the right. It will constantly update whenever I find new items I love (quite regularly then) so keep an eye on it for lovely things. Clicking on any of the photos will take you straight to where you can find out more about them ...and buy, buy, buy!

Yay, It's friday!

I woke up this morning to find that the sun was out and it was bright blue sky. Hurray! Every other day this week has been a bit dull and grey and rubbish for taking photos. I took some Etsy pics while it was nice and then spent the rest of the morning picking monkeys eyes out! Someone bought two monkeys last night but wanted their stitched eyes changed for button ones and, also, one of the monkeys I made yesterday had to have his eyes changed too. I don't know why but they just looked a bit weird before!

Card making this afternoon. I had 3 orders to do and send off before I head to London to work next week. Freelancing back with the art girls on the magazine. I'm looking forward to going back. They'll have the cheesey Christmas music on!

Anyway, cards. I can't put photos up of one of them just in case someone sees it who shouldn't but here are the other 2..






I had to do one of the cards twice as I cut my finger and bled on the first one. It was nearly finished too. I nearly cried. It's always been a fear of mine as I do cut myself quite often with the super-sharp scalpel but until today I had got away without ruining a card. Oh well, I'm all plastered up now and good to go.

Well it's friday night and I have no plans. A bit sad really. I have new shoes and everything! Maybe I'll take Dave down the local. It's not a high heels place but nevermind. I really fancy custard too for some reason. The kind from a carton. I think it's because we never had shop-bought custard at home when I was little and I've only had it a couple of times at other people's houses. Well, I have purchased my own for the very first time!

Have a nice weekend
