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

I can't wait for Friday!

Today started dismally, or is that didn't start at all.

Got in the car, ready to drop dear son off at school on my way to work, and the car did nothing.  Not a hiccup, not a struggle not a thing.  The dash flashed up 'ELECTRICAL FAILURE' for a brief second and then that disappeared too.

So a wet and windy walk to school and back, a call to the RAC and another to dear hubby at work, then all I could do was sit back and wait for the man...

It was only a dead battery thank goodness, so a couple of hours and a hundred pounds lighter, I opted to take leave rather than go in to work for an hour, and that was the highlight of my day!

Still, I got to lay out all my D9P blocks and this afternoon I cut the remainder of the Kaleidoscope batiks.

So in answer to the question, no, today was not better than yesterday - I am putting all my money on Friday being great.  It better be, as my optimistic powers are almost depleted!

Toys for the... Girls

If I was in the market for a new car, this would be it, no question...

The page takes a little time to load, but it's worth it.  The wonderful OK can do no wrong!

OK it's been a week, and so far so great...

Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get my sewing machine 'out of the box', but this relaxing in front of the TV and sewing away is just what I need right now.
