Awwwwww............

Back on the 14th March , when the sky was blue and there was a little bit of sun, Dad and I went for a walk along the beach.   We sat and had a hot drink and a bacon sandwich at a place called the ' Cat and Dog Steps'  ( I must remember to do a post on that) and we heard a man talking about a baby seal which had been stranded by the tide.

So of course we had to go and see for ourselves, the pup wasn't hard to find lying not far from the pier wall. It was perfectly well and quite relaxed. The coastguards were aware of it and had put up a sign saying so and advising people not to go to close, those seals have very sharp teeth you know.

We watched  for quite a while as it lay there having a nap , the occasional scratch and opening its eyes to survey its surroundings . It really was beautiful and you could just sink into those big eyes. Fingers crossed it got back home alright when the tide came back in .


For those who enquired the word 'pump' also means 'fart' ha ha 

Done..........

My longest outstanding WIP is finally finished...... it's not perfect , the sewing is all over the place and the wadding was far too thick but it's done.

Started September 2008 finished 30th January 2013.

Now I just have to dig out my others and see if I can get them finished too.


Oh, and the bananas from my previous post were noticed. Gabe really liked them but Milo got a bit embarrassed so on his next one I wrote the word 'pump'. That one went down well with his friends and raised a smile.

Banana Tattoo............

This morning I put these in the boys lunch boxes ........... I wonder if they will notice !

I got the idea for a Banana Tattoo from Pinterest. All you have to do is get a pin and make lots of little holes in the banana skin in the shape or letters that you want and almost immediately it goes brown . Easy Peasy .

Cosy or Cozy ? .........

I would just like to say a heartfelt thank you for all the lovely comments and messages that you left regarding my mam. My apologies if I haven't replied. Her passing was a shock to us all as she was at home and recovering nicely from her operations when she took ill.

One thing I would like to do in her memory is to continue to support the Macmillan Nurses which was mams favoured charity. With that in mind the lovely Julie has allowed me to sell some bunny egg cosy's ( or should that be cozy's ) with a percentage of the proceeds being donated to that charity.

If you are interested in any of the above you can find them here.  There were a few more but these have already sold and I'm also hoping to add more items too. I'll try to keep you updated.

Thank you so much again ...........

Mam ............

My mams favourite place was the beach , she liked nothing better than walking along the coast with my dad no matter what the weather was this is where she was happiest.

Rest In Peace mam............ there aren't enough words to say how much I love you and am going to miss you xxx

Can't Settle................

I can't settle today ..................

My mam has been in surgery for 6 hours , I'm at home with the boys but my dad is with her.

Just before Christmas we found out that her cancer had returned but this time it was in her lung luckily they found it in time and today it's getting removed.

So far I don't know exactly how much or what they have taken . I've just had a call to say that she is in recovery.

I can't settle .....................

It's Nearly Here.........

Spring that is .........................
