*****Chicken update*******

Hiya
Just a quick one today to let you know that our lovely hen's are home safe and sound.
Would you like to take a quick peek before we settle them down? Ok then I'll introduce you ...........



Ok so here they are. We have lola ( the red one on the left) and lotta ( the black one on the right). We have to keep them in their house now for 24 hours to let them settle in before we let them out to play but I'm sure there will be a few more pic's for you to see after that if your interested.

Well that's about it for tonight I'll try and get back online tomorrow as I've got something else I'm a little excited about that I have to show you.

Speek to you all again soon

holiday snaps and some news

Hiya
how are we all today, hope were all well.
apologies for yet another unintentional bloggy breakwe took the caravan off to birmingham for a few day's but to make up for it I've come back with a few holiday snap's and I have some new's to share with you but more about that later.

*****WARNING PICTURE HEAVY POST*******


Well as I said we headed off to birmingham last week, can you guess where we spent a day ......


..... Um yes that is a rather large helping of chocolate dribbled down his jumper hehehe....








And of course we had to make a return trip to see this cheeky chappy and his friends ......







We also spent a day at the black country museum complete with crochet blankets , rag rug's knitted dishcloths and teacosy ....






And for the last day of our holiday we went to visit these lovely girls (and boys)






And fell in love with these little darlings ....




Which brings me nicely to my little bit of new's. On the way home we spotted a sign that read
FREE RANGE CHICKENS FOR SALE READY NOW!!!
so naturally we stopped just to take a look you understand hehehe.
Well by the time we left we had picked two hen's put a deposit down on them and even named them lol. So hubby has been extra busy this week building a hen house and an enclosure and fingers crossed all we be ready so we can go and pick them up on sunday. I must say I'm a tad excited by it all and really can not wait to get them home. I'll be sure to take some pic's to share with you as soon as they've settled in and if any of you guy's have any tip's or advice on keeping hen's I'd be very grateful.

I must get off now as bed time for my little one is getting closer and closer I'll try not to leave it too long before my next post I do have a couple of make's to share with you.
Speak to you all agan soon

allsorts

Hiya
I hope we are all well on this rather grey looking day.
There's a little story behind this post so I'll bore you a little and start from the beginning...
A couple of week's a go my niece came down to visit and I was showing her some bit's I had made whilst playing about with some polymer clay, and she mentioned that she had seen a licorice allsorts bracelet made from polymer clay and quite liked it. A week or so later her mum ( my sister in law) asked me if I would be able to make a licorice allsorts bracelet and me being me said " well I'll give it a go"
So I had a little play and came up with ........



So I posted it off to her and guess what ... she loved it ....

A few day's later ( I told you this was a bit of a story didn't I hehehe) My sister in law phoned to say that every one loved the bracelet and that if I could possibly make 5 more, my niece had 5 friends who wanted to buy them.
So for the last few day's I have been ... well .... why don't you take a look....





The five for my niece are all packed up and ready to be posted off now and I have 5 charm bracelets left so if anyone wants to get there hands on for just £8 each, just leave me a comment or email me ( my email address is written towards the bottom of my sidebar).

Well that's about it for now were going off in the caravan on Sunday so I'd better get some clothes packed.

Hope you all have a great weekend and I'll speak to you all soon

National cupcake week

Hiya
Are we all having a lovely day? I'm sure we all know that it is national cupcake week this week and so the results of this week's baking session with river are of course



"Cupcakes"
I think I'll have to work on my icing skill's a bit though. Does anyone have a good recipe for frosting / icing they could share with me ?

I don't have many things around with cupcakes on to share with you so I thought I would show you my cup cake case collection. So here's a couple of snaps...



Just a small collection but they do seem to be multiplying quite nicely hehehe.

Anyway that's it for now. I'm sure I'll be back soon, I seem to be on a roll with this regular posting now lol.

See you all soon
xxxxxx

we're home!!!

Hiya, how are you all did you have a lovely weekend.
We had a lovely little break in the caravan. We didn't go too far just to bath (which is only about an hour away from home). but even so we had a lovely time and we were blessed with great weather which made it even more enjoyable.
I remembered my camera so I thought I'd share a few pic's with you.

Feeding the ducks.....




...... playing at the park .... ( not sure which one enjoyed it most lol)








A touch of fishing .....



..... But I'm afraid the only thing we caught was .......




We also managed to squeeze in a bit of shopping but more about that tomorrow
So there we are I hope I didn't bore you too much.
I'll have to shoot just now river is waiting patiently for his tea.
Speak to you all again soon
