Bring on the weekend!!

This has been a long long long and expensive week. 

To add to everything, today included a car service and MOT for my wheels and some RAC assistance for hubby's motor - but all good, safe, and working now. 

I've cleaned and hoovered and given the playroom a good sort through too, so I can now go into the weekend with a big old smile on my face.

Last night's 'playing about' resulted in this, which I am pretty happy with...


The buttons are mother of pearl, but not showing so well here.  I need to put some more felt on my humongous shopping list, as these are getting addictive, and bigger!

And especially for Nicky, and anyone else who was wondering, the 'blue circle thing' that frequently appears in my 'indoor' photos, is a side table...


Tomorrow will involve my nephew's 4th birthday party, and a little trip to the POST OFFICE!!  I have two parcels that need posting - in fact, I need to get on and wrap the second one now, and then my 'making' part in the Goodie Swap will be fulfilled - anyone-else feeling excited?!

Hope your weekends are destined to be full of fun, lovely people and great things (especially those with weird Swedish names!) x

  5. Cute table, hope you pick up lots of other stylish accessories this weekend (as well as a skip full of fabric!)

    PS the verification system made me type the word RADGE - and I am giggling for a reason I can't quite fathom :)

  8. I love that brooch (would look great on a winter coat) but I'm afraid the star of the post is the table!! Have fun in IKEA - I wonder how many of the names you can pronounce (think I'd only get about 5 and two of those are 'billy' and 'lack'!!)

  14. Lovely brooch, I have an exclusive designer one just like it! LOL. Have a great Swedish weekend - are you buying flat packed? Have fun assembling! (we take bets on how long until Brian starts muttering €[**?¥ Ikea ). How lovely that your kids have cousins of similar ages: the girls' cousins are 15 years older on Brian's side, and 15 years younger on my side :-(

  20. Very cute flowers. My car's due for its MOT and new tax disc next week, I'm trying not to think about it! (although the tax is only £30 for the year, can't really moan about that!)
