Basketball

Kieran is loving Basketball currently and has joined a club that meets once a week at 8am before school. He was delighted when they picked him to enter this terms tournament at a local high school. They played with children from Cawston, Boughton Leigh and Wolston. It was very exciting with lots of goal opportunities and speedy action. Knightlow came joint third and had lots of fun. Here's a few photos (Kieran is in the black jogging bottoms)!















Just to add thoughts for the poor souls at the elementary school in Connecticut, such a sorry devastating waste of lives......

12-12-12

Well just look at the date! The last sequential date this century and supposed to be lucky!
Minus 4 degrees this morning and quite a crisp beautiful one too. Geocaching.com promised a souvenir for any finds today so off I went after dropping Kieran to school.





I snagged a relatively easy one very near to a friends house, so a warming coffee afterwards was just the ticket (thanks Adele!)
A shame I didn't have my olloclip with me for some macro shots, the frost was amazing.











Then back home to chores but not before a date with this Krispy Kreme fella!




Take care all x

This week...

Has absolutely flown here, it's so nice to be busy though.

Monday was Mireilles birthday :) such a shame we live in different countries. Thanks goodness though for unlimited calls!!!

Tuesday was the Young Voices concert. This was Kieran's 3rd and final year that he could take part. The previous 2 were at the O2 with Grove Park Primary in Sittingbourne.


This year we were at the smaller LG Arena at the NEC in Birmingham. It was a magnificent evening, the highlight for us (except for Kieran of course) was seeing and listening to the African children's choir sing "Sing"


The atmosphere at these events is outstanding, you cannot begin to imagine the volume of sound created!
This is just half of the children!


Also this week saw the Xmas decs go up, it was time for the new 7ft tree :)


Next year I think I might get an amazing garland for the stairs. Ahh and here's a quick snap of Wispa looking quite indignifued in the Santa hat!


No prizes hit guessing what he's thinking lol!

The cold has also finally set in this week, here's a shot from the guest bedroom. Brrrrrrr!


Finally today Mum and I spent most of the day reorganising the craft room and being ruthless in what we're keeping and what's going to charity....
Getting rid of plastic storage is my current aim, we have so many beautiful boxes and trays made from fabrics, wood and wicker that are so naturally beautiful, it's a shame not to use them. These fibres nearly went but I just couldn't!!! So I stuffed them in a small wooden box and made art lol!


Have a great weekend all!

I Sell on Etsy!

Big Grin!

Adding more n more each day so keep popping back.

Busy Busy Busy!

Runs off to unpack more stash :)

It's beginning to feel a lot

Like Christmas!

Last week I managed to make a few quick n easy stamped and punched tags





Next week I think i'll try a few Tim tags from previous years. have you made anything Christmassy yet?

I'm itching to decorate the house (rolls eyes!) but with Kieran's birthday on Tuesday, it's only fair that we respectfully wait.....!

In anticipation Mum and I had a wee jaunt to Milton Keynes on Friday (it has to be 15 years since I was last there)

First stop was Oil & Vinegar, oh mg they have mini wooden crates, no pic sorry but trust me they are cute!

Then to The Lego Shop for the traditional Advent Calendar for you know who!

Of course it would have been rude to not visit Paperchase and these rather splendid robins needed a new home!


Then the totally lush John Lewis (sigh!) As usual I found myself neeeeding everything in the Home section!

I settled for a new glitter tipped tree for the lounge :)



A perfect resting place for those birdies don't you think!

Take care and have a great week

Ahem! Helloooo!

Soooo (blows cobwebs away) how is everyone?! Me, well I kinda got snowed under with the move, then with Mum and Dads move etc etc. Now however we are more or less into a routine (if such a thing exists) and I'm finally seated in my new yummy craft room which I'm sharing with Mum. Wait til you see her fabric stash!!!!

I'm also trying out this new app (blog press) on my phone for posting to blogger so this post will be quite short. Yet again my time management is under review as i really should be starting dinner.

Here's a quick snap from where I'm sitting now :)


I hope you are all well and I look forward to catching up with your blogs really soon
