Finished blocks

Just finished off my blocks. They only had home written on them which I thought made them look a bit bare

After

Before

I used various magazines for the patterns and I found the butterfly's scattered in a joe browns catalogue.


Quite pleases with Them. :)

Home blocks

While I was out shopping today I picked up these home blocks for £2.

When I took them out of box they only have writing on one side so I may have to stick pictures or something on them.

no idea where I am putting them because I am really running out of room.

Candle transfers

When I was out shopping yesterday I picked up a pack of candle transfers that were reduced to 50 pence. (I love reduced things).

They were really easy to use, just cut out the part you want to use and soak it for twenty seconds. Then gently peel it off the backing paper and place it where you would like it on the candle

Very easy and something I will try again especially if I find more of them reduced.

Moody Monday cupboard cleaning.

I opened my daughters toy cupboard today and was greeted by this

Never in my life have I seen such a complete and utter mess. It was one of those moments when I wished I had kim and aggie from how clean is your house to come and help.

There were bits of Lego everywhere random doll parts and lots of pieces of polly pocket etc.

Five hours ( yes that's right five hours for one bl@@dy cupboard) five black bags and it was finally tidy. I forgot to take an after picture and the kids have been alone upstairs for an hour, I'm too scared to look in it in case it looks the same again.

Slightly sleepy Sunday

After a busy morning doing Zumba express then Zumba toning I've had a very lazy afternoon. A while back I had downloaded a free copy of mollie makes on the newsstand of my iPad. I enjoyed reading it so much so yesterday I bought the valentines issue because I had fell in love with the crochet hand warmers on the cover.

I hopefully will get round to making the hand warmers but at the moment I am busy making granny squares for a lovely throw that is in this issue.


For a limited time there is one free issue on the newsstand of cross stitch collection, cross stitcher, crochet today, mollie makes, the knitter, knitting life, simply knitting and papercraft inspirations and probably more but these are the ones I know of.



The girls were busy today with the last baking packet mix.

Tesco brownie mix

Didn't have a square tin so had to make it in a round one. Ended up crumbly but very tasty and the kids scoffed quite a lot of it.

Love is in the air

Toast I made for the girls this morning for their breakfast.
