We have been very busy over the last month! but finally it is half term and time to relax a little and enjoy some time together. I've got to work on Monday but then I have the rest of the week off which will be really nice.
Well I'm sorry to say that my craft party did not happen! We have postponed it. Lots of my friends were not really into making cards and the ones that wanted to come found the night too hard to arrange babysitters for or were away. I'm so so sure that it is my thing at all, not when I can buy from a friend who has a card selling business!! I know this is not the idea but life is far too short I have decided to be messing around sticking and stamping things. I love the cards my children make far too much to try myself xx
The dining room got painted what I thought was a really fab yellow colour!!!!! Big mistake it looked awful and I had to paint over it again the next day - I was really disappointed but it's back to cream again but looking alot fresher. I've just bought some new picture frames to put up this weekend which I cant wait to get on the wall. For some reason we don't have too many pictures of ourselves around the house so I thought I would remedy this. The fabulous Julie took my curtains up and made me a small 'net' out of some muslin I had and my window now looks amazing. I have also found in our local market a man that makes and sells wrought iron curtain 'tie backs' so I'm going in on Tuesday to meet him with an idea of what I would like. He's made some amazing things. The room will be finished and look great soon.
Samuel has been very romantic this week. Being only 9 we were very impressed!! He decided that he needed to but Ruby a present. He started his search in Country Chic! I persuaded him out of buying a fabulous necklace for £30.......We ended up in another shop buying her a bracelet for £3 hehe (Sorry Ruby). We didn't get chance to see her on Valentines night and she was busy swimming the night after and Samuel was getting a little frustrated with the whole thing as he so desperately wanted top see her aaaahhhhhh. He is a very resourceful young man as Liz turned up with Ruby and Tom later that evening - after receiving a phone call from our younger Romeo! He'd gone up into his bedroom with my phone and called Liz on her mobile asking her to call in on the way back from swimming!!!!!!!! We were shocked - and on any other day would have got told off - but Liz felt sorry for him and called over as he had been so sweet. Liz and I have decided that it was possible the most romantic thing that we have heard of, bless him. Just hope he puts as much effort into the day when he gets older :-).
The house detox continues boo and hiss! and today we are making multiple trips to the tip, fun fun fun. At least I will have the children around me this week to help!
