A nest fit for the Queen bird :-) !

Aunty Kate and Tamsyn decided last Friday that the birds of Launceston had nowhere posh to stay! They had collected some sticks after the picnic in Kate's garden and Uncle Penny assisted further when he cut down some of his hedge ( not especially for the nest building I hope hehe). Kate was very excited as she got to use her new glue gun eeeeek and they made a masterpiece fit for a bird or a few my little ponys!

Tamsyn has decided that Kate should come over every Friday night now for craft night !!!!! Poor Kate - she can never go for a night out now or work in the pub as Tamsyn wishes to craft. Decided that our craft sessions can be a bit hap-hazard to fit in and around life :-)

The next craft session has been booked and they are going to make initials decorated with buttons...... watch this space.........

May has gone and I'm now poor and tired hehe

Well , May came and went in a bit if a blur! It was full of birthdays and parties and fun and chaos as expected for birthday season. It was fab and the children loved every minute of it xx

Samuels birthday cakes :-)

Tamsyns birthday box full up with yummy presents, including Pinkie Pie the build a bear my little pony :-) !! 

More birthday cake ( I have no idea why I don't loose weight !!) 

Tamsyn had her birthday party with two of her school friends and her little cousin Daisy. They went to 'the little button shop' in a village close to town and had a  workshop making heart wall hangings. The girls absolutely loved it and worked so hard to create their masterpieces :-) fabulous value for money and we now have a very keen sewer in the family. 

My new little niece Eleanor 'Nell' was born and she is mega cute eeeeeeek unfortunately she had to spend over two weeks in hospital as she had stopped breathing and was quite poorly for a while ! Big scare for the family and her poor, but very strong, Mummy, Daddy and big sister Emma. She is now better and has spent her first weekend at home all snuggled up with her family xx

May has been the month that Emily and Samuel plunged into the sea and started their surfing lessons :-) Sam got a wetsuit for his birthday and was very keen to try it! They have been going for three weeks now and doing rather well. Sam got surfer of the week this week which was amazing!

An hour or two for me :-)

The workshop that Tamsyn did for her birthday was so fab I thought I would book myself onto a short afternoon course at the same place. It was all a bit hap-hazard and chaotic for the first half an hour but I think they have only just started doing some of these courses and tiny teething problems are you be expected and embraced - this is how we all learn. The lady Sarah who owns the place is such a lovely friendly lady you can help but love it there. I decided that I would like to have a go at free hand machine embroidery. I have seen courses run by Poppy Trefry in St Ives but they are a lot of money for one day. I have even bought one of Poppy's books in order to have a go myself but never got to it !

But for two hours I 'had a go' and made a little picture of Launceston castle which I love. It wasn't as hard as I thought so will defiantly be trying it again. 

Isn't it so cute ? I love it so much xxx it has all the things I love in it! Pink spotty fabric, Launceston castle, jubilee flag, bunting, and apple trees :-)))))))))) very happy Karen !
