Jollies

We've been on our jolly holidays, a bit last minute as usual but much needed :) The weather was 'bracing' but beautiful and it was just what we needed to blow the cobwebs and the winter blues away...

The east coast in Yorkshire is one of my favourite places to be...theres something a bit wild and mysterious about all those crashing waves and little caves.... am a bit fed up to be back now but I did find a new obsession while we were there which could bring a little sunshine into our back garden.....

I've decided to build a beach hut, not quite sure how or where yet but I am working on it..and these are my inspiration.....shame I won't have that view but I can dream...


I wouldn't mind my own little boat too but one thing at a time I think...

Apart from getting VERY wet feet the boys favourite thing to do was the penny arcade games where they (amazingly) won lots of keyrings :)

So to keep a smile on my face I decided to give my 'roll model' a spring wardrobe update....wish it was that easy to do my own :)
Hope you're having a lovely week whatever you're up to x x x x x

Charlie Brown and Pillowcases

As another half term holiday approaches, I'm wondering where the days are going?!?! I feel like I'm peddling up a steep hill and not getting anywhere......Oh no that would be me on my exercise bike,which after only a week is now wearing vintage pillowcases to hide the fact that I haven't got time to go on it...

Anyway I'm looking forward to not...... rushing about, doing school runs, ironing hideous maroon sweatshirts and just generally having some time to ourselves....to watch my favourite..... Charlie Brown and read another J.otto Seibold book which is just as lovely as his christmas one :)

Olive-My-Love-

And hopefully pick up some wool and get on with a little crochet project, I've been looking at all the lovely things that you've been making and I'm feeling the need to get back on the wagon (parden the pun)

Have a lovely week

The post about spring.....again

Yes I'm going on about it again....but I can't help feeling its just around the corner and I have a 'Spring' in my step (or is that just the wind blowing me along??)

I've been a washing and a chopping some nice 'spring' like fabrics and a nice parcel arrived from my lovely flickr friend paperdolly with some lovely bedding and a cute little 'spring' like lamb!!! Also a weekend in Yorkshire with my mum/sis and some school friends.....shopping.....sleeping in and nice food was just the ticket :)

Hope you're having a 'spring' like happy week so far

Spot the chick.....

I know its nearly spring, these little guys are starting to appear all over the house...I don't know who puts them there but its like a game of Wheres Wally. Can't wait to see what the ££ shops have this year in the pom pom chick line, last years fave was the headscarf wearing, 50's sunnies one...classic :)

And I reckon if I babble on about spring enough times, it will arrive :)
