Saw this on a friends blog ramblings of a rusty mind and so decided to join in and have a go myself.I bet out of everyone that does it my answers are the longest cos I do tend to go on. I've tried to keep them short but well you know me girls my short answer is most peoples long.
Right here goes A to Z of me

Hi girls. Well my cold has more or less gone now, thankfully it wasnt too bad a cold either so I've still ahd a good week. Hubby is back to work tomorrow, boohoo for him bless him, and to make things worse he has to go in really early for two days too so he'll be up at 3 in the morning. It will come as a shock to him as this past week we havent been going to bed till well after midnight and some nights after one and we've not getting up till 10 ish.
We carried on taking life easy for the rest of his week off and didn't do much except laze around and relax. I did some more sewing and made some more christmas decorations on wednesday afternoon and thursday. On friday we did some housework inthe morning and had pauls mum and dad over in the afternoon, we usually visit them but they wanted us to look for something on the computer for them so they came to us for a change, they were here from about half two until nine and then we dropped them home so I had a day off sewing and crafting on friday.
I got back to it yesterday though and started a scarf in the afternoon for my sisters mother in law, I've still got quite a lot of it to do but in the evening I had a change from knitting and while watching xfactor I made a few christmas tree brooches.

Busy week

 Well its been a bit of a busy and exciting week, last week our nephew Matt who lives with us went off to Australia backpacking for a year. The few days before he went I was busy washing and ironing his clothes so he had plenty to choose from and then on thursday we took him to the airport to see him off. I hope he enjoys himself and keeps safe.

All loaded up and ready to go

A years worth of stuff in there??? not if I was packing lol

Last week I had a message from a lady interested in buying some of my Andies Accessories items for her to resell so after a couple of emails between us she placed an order and I set about making the things required. Most of the weekend I was busy stitching away and finished the order on monday evening and then posted it tuesday. Here's hoping she's happy with my items and they sell well and then maybe she'll want more.

I also had facebook order on Tuesday so made that up and posted it off today. 
After all this making I was running very low on felt and a couple of colours of thread so hubby took me and mum to hobbycraft yesterday afternoon and I went wild in the felt aisle and also bought a few others bits from the rest of the shop too, well you have to dont you lol.

Couple of dozen pieces of felt couple of meters of fabric some thread and a few other bits and bobs that caught my eye

Hubby and I had planned to start painting the kitchen this week as he'd taken thursday off to take Matt to the airport and decided he'd take friday and the whole of this week off too, because of my order we decided to postpone the painting for a couple of days and now I've developed a bit of a cold so we've put it off for a bit longer. I don't feel upto climbing up and down steps painting and also don't fancy the smell of paint which usually gives me a bunged up nose and sore throat anyway, luckily its not a bad cold so hopefully it will be gone soon and we can crack on.
So instead of painting hubby has been reading and relaxing today and after putting yesterdays purchases away earlier on I'm going to get my bigshot out now and cut some more hearts out from the new material I've bought.
Happy crafting girls xx
