Sent from heaven on the wings of a prayer.

So this week for bubbly scrumptious i created a little keepsake album as a birthday gift for my aunty who has yet to see the baby. You will have to forgive all the baby projects but we have waited so long for a baby girl in our family and she was such i surprise, so i think we have earned bragging rights, lol

You can see the full project HERE.

Here are a few pics

Happy New Year

I cant believe its January 1st 2011. Where did that year go. This time last year i was sat here worrying about completing my dissertation and graduating from university and looking forward to the summer. Who'd have thought i'd be sat here writting this one handed with a 7 week old baby sat on my knee,lol.

So this year i am making no resolutions as life has a habit of throwing curve balls at you when you least expect them. If i find the time to go to the gym, so be it. If i loose some weigh, so be it. If we save up for a holiday, so be it. But i guarentee, we will make lots of new memories this year.

Big thanks go to all my friends and family for supporting me over the last year, for spurring me on when i was at my lowest with uni work and all the pregnancy issues. I couldnt have done it without you.

And big thanks to Keith, my DH for being my rock, my shoulder to cry on, my wall to shout at.



And thanks to my boys for being my little helpers in the last few months







And the biggest surprise of 2010



Just fallen asleep whilst i have been typing

So a happy 2011 to you all and happy crafting.

Here is a quick digi LO i never in a million years thought id be making this time last year, lol

Crafty round up.

So crafting time is of a premium at the moment so its a bit here and a bit there so projects are few and far between. Here is a round up of what i have done over recent weeks.

First my bubbly project from today. Its a keepsake tree ornament for Rebecca to match the boys decorations.





You can find all the info on how to make it HERE.

Then being snowed in and unable to get out to buy Christmas cards, i decided to make some for the first time in about 5 years. They are very simple this time.







Next i got cracking on something for Jacqui at simply create. My first ever LO of the babe.









And finally, i have made a headband for the babe. I always said i wouldn't put a silly headband or bow on my baby if i had a girl but i have been swayed, they just look so cute. I bought 6 different coloured bands for £1 and customised each one with a flower or embellishment. This one is actually a crocheted doily that has been turned into a fluffy flower.



Cant wait to put the one i made to match her Christmas outfit on her, lol.

Speaking of outfits, look what daddy bought her, a Christmas pudding suit!!!







Have a happy Christmas

Christmas Screen

This week i made a Christmas screen for my fireplace for my bubbly scrumptious post. This was to be a group project at our crop based an another Lin Brown from LB crafts projects (Oct 28th)but we became snowed in again and i was uneasy about driving for the babe in my mums new car so we cryed off. So my screen sort of grew its own legs and off it went, lol. It resembles nothing of the original now.

You can find all the info HERE for my screen.

And some pics















I love how it turned out as well.

Bits and bobs

So the boys had another snow day yesterday so spent it digging out the drive with Keith. This was how deep the snow was on the drive



And underneath this lot, somewhere is Keith's car, lol





The day before we had to walk down to the village to get water for Rebecca as we are on well water which is not suitable for babies so we get mains water from the village hall for her. The walk was beautiful, like a christmas card. But it took 2 hours and it was the first time i have left the house since the birth and looking back now, and feeling the twinges, i maybe shouldnt have gone, lol





















And the plough managed to get up again yesterday and the postman made it up as a result. He brought with him my graze box for the week. Yum.



If you fancy one of these your self, head on over to graze and quote this code
HDM5LBW where you will get a free box and your second for just £1.75.

They come in cute little boxes that have caught my crafty eye. I am sure i can alter it into something crafty. Is that a challenge Erika, who pointed me in the direction of graze and i am sure has a fair few empty graze boxes now, lol

Anyway, off for a warm as the heating is on the blink, typical in all this snow.
