Bill & Bens Day Out !!!

Sunshine Sunshine, where art though sunshine !!!! I had the summer clothes looked out, (put the bikini back mind you) tried some on EEK! where did all this extra weight come from, must have been all the hearty soups and stews over the winter!! Set my little deckchair up, made my self a cup of tea ready to sit down and enjoy a bit of the sun when, BAA, BAA, BAA, BAA !! Now, I love my animals but sometimes ! Yes, the boys wanted OUT !!!!! Eilidh was more excited than them when they came out of their stable, they followed her everywhere, the only thing they didn't know what to do was EAT THE GRASS ! Now what do you do when sheep won't eat grass? I tried to convince Eilidh she would have to get down on all fours and pretend to munch the grass, you can imagine what she said *********************************** ! So the boys played for a while then they had their bottles and lay down to have a wee rest, SOOOOOOOOO CUTE.

WORLD EXCLUSIVE !! " Scottish girl gives birth to lambs !!! LOL

So Bill & Ben had their first day out, now they don't want to go back into their stables, if anyone knows how to solve the grass problem please let me know (Hayley ?!?)

I told you about the accident I had with Aria last weekend, well thankfully she is looking fine and no longer stiff, here she is with her best buddy enjoying the sun.

Aria is in the background and Dodge (apptly named) is the one with the beard ! he is not being frisky, biting her butt, he is just making sure she keeps her good looks by grooming her.

So hopefully no more dramas and I can get back to normal. David is going off on a golfing holiday with his friend to celebrate a belated joint 50th birthday, they have been saving hard for 2 years so have a great time you old codgers and remember to pack your Ralgex ! Thats one less to worry about for a week and the kids go back to school soon so things are certainly looking up on the impending crafting scene for me...................

I did manage to do a bit over the past couple of days. Hayley asked if I would send her some samples for her web site gallery, hope you like the ones I e-mailed you Hayley and heres a couple more.

How to make the lace flowers are a closely guarded secret, not the same as Hayleys and I may share the technique if I can be persuaded !!!

I decided to buy a rope for my clothes poles instead of using my wirly gig, I got into such a state when I tried to attach it, hence the twine surrounding the card and my wish is that I could have a maid to do the ironing because I don't look as glamorous as Nikki. The crochet flower is my own !!!!!!! All the ps and cs is from Hayley and the stamp is from Kerry and the crochet flowers are from Annette (HEE HEE)  talking of which, I used to crochet years ago and I mean years ago at one point everyone I knew, family, friends, dogs, yes dogs !! had something I had crocheted so when I saw stamping up had crochet flowers in there catalogue, I thought, I can do that so the impatient side of me said look out the crochet hooks and yarn and set to producing some lovely flowers. I started off a bit rusty and now I am churning them out like mad, (just kidding) well at least 100 a day !

Ok so it's slightly less !!!

Any way I started off saying I did not get the opportunity to enjoy the sun, it's shining at the moment so I am off to put the kettle on, pick up my favourite craft mag., and god help any one who even attempts to speak, phone, text or e-mail me except if it's to tell me where the latest craft deals can be found ! Can I just say thank you to everyone who wished me a Happy Birthday, I had a great day, and don't really feel that much older!?!?!? I KNOW I don't look it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Annette x
