Swap-Bot:- Some assembly required

In the last week I have had two great parcels from Swap-Bot!

The first package was from the Swap some assembly required.

We each had to buy 3 Make it your self kits from the £1 shop and then send it to your partners.

In my parcel I recieved a kit to make a pussy cat coin purse , a set to make two Gecko beaded keyrings and a set to make some cool reindeer Christmas decorations.

Good morning World

Well what a couple of days!

Last Wednesday was the funeral of my Grandmother. It was a beautifully sunny Autumn day but I think she was watching down on us laughing cause lots of things were slightly wrong including her being late for her own funeral!

Oh well that is over now and life has started to get back to some form of normality.

My Mum gave a whole load of bits and pieces that were my grandmothers & grandfathers. I have slowly sorted them out and found homes for them.

The only thing I haven't yet dealt with is the Mink fur coat and hat that I have inherited which is sat rather forlornly in the suitcase in the front hall. Although I know she is gone it is very hard to go to that suitcase and open it hang it on a hanger and put it in my wardrobe.
It is still not mine yet perhaps it never will be mine!

New Project

My friend Sal has comissioned me to create some Christmas tree decorations for her to sell in her shop In The Greenwood.

Well these are the very first two Christmas trees which have been completed.

I secretly think Sal is trying to stop me from watching too much daytime TV by making me so busy I won't have the time :).

Busy Weekend

Well as today draws to a close I thought I had better update everybody on what I have been doing.

Yesterday (the 20th) DH and I went for a visit to Ripon College Cuddesdon Oxford. This is one of the Vicar Factories that He is looking to attend if he gets through the selection process. It is a beautiful college set in about 90 acres of fields. It is a very peaceful place but equally very close to Oxford so that you are not completely removed from society. All in all it was a VERY good day.
This beautiful, peaceful place has now gone to the top of the list.

This morning after a very sleepy start We all went of to Church. Although have way through the service I suddenly came over all dizzy and faint. Well I did manage to stay till the end fo the service. After lunch I went to sleep for 2 hours cause all my limbs and my head were hurting.

Tonight I have worked more on my seahorse swap for Swap-Bot.




I will post a picture later when I have taken it. I have cut him out of the handmade felt I made on Thursday.



Tomorrow I will start on the Red and white ornament I have to make.
