The Challenge Is Met! 2008-03-20 06:34:29 Hi I was beavering away all day yesterday with some of the fabric from the lovely girls - and look what I made: I love the candy colors of the Amy Butler Paisley print and I combined it with some... Read more:Challenge
A Challenge! 2008-03-18 17:22:36 Look what lovely goodies arrived in the post! I'd ordered some fabric from buttonberry and it arrived today (well actually, it arrived on Friday but I've only just been able to collect it from the post office as I was... Read more:Challenge
Working Through My Button Stash 2008-03-22 07:14:33 I had a lovely couple of evenings working through the stash of buttons I've accumulated. I love vintage buttons and have, well, probably too many (is that possible though? - I think John would say 'yes'!) But I just love...
Happy Easter 2008-03-23 15:35:30 Happy Easter
to you all! We've had a great day, visiting family and eating far too much! It's nice to now be home and cozy because it's COLD out there! Because of all of the visiting we've done, there's not... Read more:Happy

A Bag and some news 2008-03-26 14:47:58 I made this bag a while ago and can't quite believe I didn't post about it (Of course, you may now all email me in droves saying Durh, you did already post about it you mad woman- so if I...
Sunny Green Saturday 2008-03-29 05:18:28 After my difficult day Thursday I decided I needed to occupy myself in the evening. So rather than sit worrying or zone out in front of the TV I raided my ever increasing fabric stash and made this bag. I'd... Read more:Sunny

Scan Update 2008-03-27 12:16:34 I thought I'd give a quick update on how my scan went today - in a word, not brilliantly! I was at the hospital over 4 hours. After a wait of over an hour, a nurse took some information from... Read more:Update
Blushing! 2008-03-30 17:04:50 The lovely, gorgeous, generous, fantastically talented Twiggy Pea Sticks has nominated me for an Arte y Pico award. I'm so flattered - and more than a bit embarrassed because she actually nominated me on her blog over a week ago...
A breath out 2008-04-02 10:25:33 I went up to another hospital today for another early pregnancy scan - I'd had a bleed on Monday night and another small one this morning. I honestly couldn't face going back to the last hospital but after not getting...
Flower Brooch 2008-04-05 06:10:27 I been making little things this week - easy, sit in front of the TV type of thing. I was really pleased with these brooches and loved playing around with the different fabrics and finding just the right vintage button... Read more:Brooch
We're a Wii family 2008-04-09 15:58:39 We bought a Wii
this week - I have to say I'm not a big fan of video games but this is FUN. Cole is an old hand at it because his Dad already has one but he enjoyed showing...
24 hours and the world's turned upside down 2008-04-11 15:52:20 I'll keep this one short for lots of reasons. It's amazing the difference 24 hours makes. Yesterday I was getting married in a few weeks and having a baby. Today I'm not. The wedding has been postponed because Cole's dad... Read more:turned

Nature 2008-04-13 13:03:25 I've been so overwhelmed by the messages of love and support over the past couple of days - I have been touched beyond measure. Thank you. I've had a calm couple of days actually. My Mum came over yesterday bringing...
Refashioned Sweater To Cardigan 2008-04-14 06:37:48 I've been looking for an embroidered sweater to revamp ever since seeing a really cute cardigan in Just For The Frill Of It. I found this on in our local charity shop for £3.50 and as it wasn't the sort... Read more:Sweater
Belated Anniversay Giveaway 2008-04-16 09:58:41 It's been a very turbulent few weeks and it's meant that my 1 year blog anniversary went almost unnoticed. But today it's time to correct things - it may be 3 weeks late but I'm throwing a bit of a...
A Garden 2008-04-22 16:48:13 I know I've been a bit quiet this week. It's partly because I've not had very much to say (I've not made much either) and partly because I know that I've had a lot of new readers this week because... Read more:Garden
I'm fine - so long as I don't leave the house! 2008-04-25 06:46:24 I'm turning into a hermit. I'm quite happy with the arrangement. In fact, I'm really ok so long as I don't try to leave the house, engage with the outside world or try and have a conversation that lasts for...
We have a winner! 2008-04-24 18:07:15 I spent ages today trying to find a simple to use online random number generator. Honestly, I spent AGES and all I could find were really complex things designed for picking your lottery numbers or things that you have to... Read more:winner
I may be in love with the postman 2008-04-26 17:03:13 But he's a fickle lover. I go for days, weeks even, when all he brings me are the cold, heartless bills and reminders. And then, occasionally, he brings me a gorgeous stash like he did this morning: first there was...
Olive Green and Kingfisher Blue 2008-04-29 18:19:22 Finally I can show you the other bag I was working on. It's proved a slippery little fish - I just couldn't get it quite right. First, I wasn't happy about the shape. Whilst it's so obviously inspired by one... Read more:Olive

Lovely Inspiration Thorough The Post 2008-04-30 12:22:43 There are many, many cool things about having a blog but this is a first for me - I've been sent a review copy of a book! And it's a book I probably would have bought and paid for anyway... Read more:Lovely

I'm a very lucky lady 2008-05-01 18:42:12 One of the blogs I read regularly is Sew Christine and I was lucky
enough to be a winner on her recent blog giveaway. Look what I got - the cutest little coin purse. The picture really doesn't do it...
The Magic Of The Button! 2008-05-06 08:56:51 Aren't buttons great? Over the past few weeks my only excursions out of the house have been to collect Cole from school via some of the local charity shops. I've been trying to get some exercise every day because I... Read more:Magic
A Hunk Uh Hunk Of Beaded Love! 2008-05-08 15:59:33 Yeah, I know that's a terrible title for a blog post but it just made me laugh! I've been beading again and made this rather nice beaded heart pendant. I've been picking up vintage beads and necklaces in the charity... Read more:Beaded
Sunshine Skirt 2008-05-13 16:42:02 I've re-written this post once already. For your benefit to be honest - and mine. The first one was not something I was proud or happy putting 'out there.' It was full of thoughts and feelings that I hope aren't...
Technical Difficulties 2008-05-18 03:04:59 The title seems to sum up my life generally over the past few days but I suppose more specifically I mean the blog. A few people emailed me to tell me that they couldn't access the site and I don't... Read more:Technical

Honey I Broke The Blog! 2008-05-22 22:35:39 In fact, I'm not sure how to mend it! It all started last week with the technical difficulties - then even when it was up and running again none of the pictures would display. I've got a horrible feeling I'm...
Getting There 2008-05-28 12:28:15 I seem to have touched a nerve with people and it wasn't intentional but thank you for the messages of support generated by my last post. I'm sorry I've not really been on top of things like replying to comments...
I Feel Like I Dropped Off The Side Of The Earth 2008-06-11 16:11:02 I did say I was had some news didn't I? Well, I've been slowing climbing back up the hill of happiness and taken a bit of a road trip along the way. It's nice to be back on planet earth... Read more:Dropped
