bat boy and the dragon..

Posted on 14:52 by Unknown






























































































































What a fantastic Halloween!
A great party where the food was all totally scary (monster fingers and mummie pizza's) and cool games of eat a hanging do'nut without using your hands.
Then trick or treating around the neighbourhood.
I don't think I have enjoyed halloween so much before.
The boys loved being with friends (as did I) and of course LOVED the free sweets!
Soo, how was halloween with you?
Spooky!

(p.s. please excuse the masking tape on the front door - Nope still not finished that bloomin door!)

Sunday...

Posted on 14:44 by Unknown





























































































































































































































Today we prepared for halloween.
Spooky pictures were drawn.
Bats flew into roost.
Pumpkins were carved.
Costumes and masks were made.
We also went to the LoveFood Festival and saw the most incredible carved pumpkins made by the sculptural team of Aardman animations. Totally cool.
I loved the zebra skin zebra crossing.
We are very excited about tomorrow... spookiness awaits!

friday.

Posted on 09:20 by Unknown
































WOW - gorgeous beautiful day today.
I am so happy it's Friday.  It's been one long half term.
I have enjoyed craft days with friends, making bats and Halloween masks.  Playing in the park and just hanging out with my sons.
But I am equally looking forward to the weekend... some time to be with Dan, he's been working so hard this week, it feels like we haven't really seen him.
Hopefully this sunshine will continue and we can have a much needed walk through the autumnal woods.
We will this weekend be carving our pumpkins.. I hope they are as cool as last years, all down to Dan's artistic handiwork.
So have a fun filled and happy weekend my lovelies... are you excited about Halloween on Monday... what are your plans and traditions?

Hello!
Thank you for you lovely comments on my last post.  I am feeling much better now, thank you!
My Tuesday Treasury this week are a few of my favourites which I felt looked good together.. kind of wintry and a bit starry dark nights.
Hope you like... I really do!
Have a good Thursday wherever you are... here in Bristol it has rained all night and it looks like it's going to rain all day too.
A crafting kind of day.

dance away the blues..

Posted on 13:07 by Unknown


Had a rubbish day today... don't really want to go into it.
But I just wanna say thank you to the lovely support from my lovely friends.
I feel blessed to have such kind positive people around me.
This tune has made me feel happy along with the beautiful one below (thank you Elle) which made me feel alive.
Enjoy

sunshine walk around the docks..

Posted on 14:35 by Unknown



















Thank you so much for your lovely comments yesterday.
Feeling so much better, I had a few hours to myself to wander down the local shops and not have the boys to look after... AND the sun was shining which always helps.
This afternoon we went for a walk (boys on their bikes) around the docks.
God it was beautiful.
I feel so very lucky to live in this gorgeous city.
Bristol rocks.

Happy Friday everyone!
I dunno about you, but this weekend cannot come sooner.
I am exhausted from looking after my 2 boys this week.
It's not the fact they are ill, it's the fact that they are fighting, throwing trantrums, screaming and totally being complete and utter (insert a swear word here!).
BREATHE
I've just bought a bottle of expensive red wine from Sainsbury's and I cannot wait to drown myself in it when my little darlings are in bed! Expensive cos I bloody deserve it!
hmmmmmm roll on 7pm!
Hope you all have some really exciting weekend plans... my plan is to seriously get some me time (doubtful) and to chill out.
In the meantime, some gorgeous sunny yellow inspiration... ah yellow, makes it all seem so much better doesn't it?
Have a good one!

autumn leaves...

Posted on 09:56 by Unknown



Rufus stayed home from pre-school again today.
What we thought was just a sore throat has turned out to be hand, foot and mouth virus.
Blisters inside his mouth and on his hands... poor little man.
As it was such a sunny autumn day, we made tissue paper (stained glass) leaves to catch the sunlight.
Inspiration from Flora and her beautiful leaves.
It all got a bit silly and messy... but good to see him a little happier.
I think these will stay up until Christmas when they will be replaced by snowflakes.

So, Tuesday Treasury... a gloriously sunny collection of all things YELLOW.
Oh and look at that... it's sunny outside too!

*********************************************************************************************************************************************************
