LOVE THIS!

A great reggae sound to get you in the mood for the weekend!

Bad Mummy!

The tooth fairy forgot to come last night. My son was devastated and I feel terrible : (

Washi girls

We made these in craft club. A bit fiddly but lots of fun : )

Sometimes, I need something to get the day going...............

............ and today it's wonderful Freddie. I looooooooove this clip, it's so uplifting and puts me in a good mood all day. He has the audience in the palm of his hand. I wish I had been at Live Aid in 1985.  Have a great day :  )

I hope all the Dad's had a great Father's Day yesterday.

Never Seconds

drawing by VEG

An inspirational little girl who writes and photographs (or draws) her school dinners and posts them on her blog "Never Seconds" has been in the news today in the UK. Apparently VEG (her blog name) is not allowed to photograph her school dinners anymore (the council have stopped her, not the school). I hope she continues writing about food and It looks as though her writing has definitely improved school dinners at her school. VEG had also raised lots of money for the charity "Mary's Meals". I love the fact that children from all over the world have sent her pictures of their meals too. Who says kids are not interested in healthy food? Update : The Council have changed their mind (surprise surprise) and are going to allow VEG to continue - Hurray!

I want everything in this picture.......

...........especially the phone and the great Lamp. I LOVE the mix of styles. All from Graham and Green. Lovely!

Summer Fete

If any local folk fancy coming to see me at a Craft Fair this Saturday, 16th June, please pop along and say hi-de-hi. I'll be at York House Stony Stratford near Milton Keynes 10.30 - 4pm. I'll be selling some bits and bobs and there will be lots of other great stalls, some tea and cake and some fundraising too!

Mini Cards from Jodds

I am delighted that Jodds have made some of the card designs I did for the Kids Stuff range into mini cards. I LOVE the small size perfect for little hands. Follow this link here for more info.

Soggy!

Today I had planned to bring you lovely pictures of our Jubilee celebrations but it rained and we sat under an umbrella and waved our flags in a despondent way. Dripping wet bunting and soggy cake didn't inspire me to take any photographs so here is something I did find inspiring this weekend. The commonwealth song "Sing", composed especially to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee. The little girl that starts the song was the best performer of the whole concert in my opinion : )

Insect Day

That's what my friend and I call those inset days where the kids get an extra day off school at the beginning or the end of the hols for teacher training. My kids had one today. They creep up on you (the insect day that is) and put you in total panic because you have so much to do and one less day to do it in. To folk in the UK, have a happy bank holiday weekend and enjoy the Jubilee celebrations.
