off on my jollies!!!

Just a quickie to thank you for all your lovely comments on my past few posts.

And welcome to my new followers!

On Wednesday I went over to see my mum and we took the dog to one of our favourite places.

Pickerings Pasture is a wonderful place.

With well managed wildflower meadows,

woods, marshland and

where every year Mum and I go to pick damsons- here they are ripening up ready for our return in July.

Well now, My mother in law arrived today and she will be staying here looking after Lucy and the house while we go down to her house of the week. I will have no Internet connection so it's bye bye for now and I will be back in a week with a post about our Jolly in Shropshire!

No Comment!

So sorry I am unable to leave comments on peoples blogs at the moment as I am unable to sign in (this all could be a waste of a post if it wont post!!!)

Thought I would show you some photos of my workroom, I did go on and on about it when we were building the extension so I guess you deserve to see the end result!

It all seems such a long time ago but we got there in the end.

We put the blinds up over the weekend and this was the last thing to be done.

There are still a few bits and bobs still in the loft that need to go in but I am loving it! Can you see the green heart hanging on the cupboard door? that was a lovely surprise gift from Jenny made specially for my new workroom.

These two bunnies were knitted for me by my nan when I was about 20 years old. I had found the pattern in a book and showed it to her and she was an expert knitter and made them in a flash!

On the right is Little Sue made by Sam and two knitted cats from the Cats Protection craft fair.

and the birdie was part of a giveaway I won from The Linen Cat Blog.

a little wire fairy

And here is Patience the bunny who came from the lovely Lisa at Periwinkle.

And the lovely painting above was a giveaway prize from Jane and the Happy Crow.

So I have lots of lovely treasures around and still a few more to go in so if I have missed you I'm sorry (I have been rather lucky in the giveaways and gifts department haven't I?)
Above is a photo of my work in progress last week. Both doggie portraits are now with their owners and you can read more about them and see more photos by clicking on my Emporium Blog in my sidebar or click HERE.
There is also a question on there I would love you to look at and maybe point me in the right direction! Thanks.

Back in time

Let me take you back in time.

Back to April.....

and some photos I forgot to share with you.

I went to Southport with my mum and sister over the Easter break.

And I also forgot to share some photos of the blossom I took during that lovely sunny month.

All gone now of course.

And we had some apple blossom in the garden too.

I spent all day today finishing off a pet portrait and plan to do some gardening tomorrow......come rain or shine!
