Lucky Me!!

Well in a previous blog i mentioned how i won Cupcake Clips from Caz of Pearls & Whirls, it would seem my winning streak is continuing! I had a lovely message from Jo of Jolicious Jewels to say i had won her blog giveaway, little parcel arrived this morning and ohh is it gorgeous! i won a beautiful little flip flop charm and a bag of beads! Now, i am a knitter but i am determined to find a use for the beads as they are too nice to do nothing with lol. Have a look at Jo's shop, it is full of gorgeous bits & pieces, my current piece being this beautiful Blue Lariat

Next up is Jean from Talking Beads, Jean was the winner of my blog giveaway and today blogged about the scarf she won, i am so pleased she liked it. Jean Recently had a giveaway on her blog also and myself along with 2 others were lucky enough to be picked to try our hand at bead weaving! I am looking forward to this with excitement & intrepidation, having seen some of the lovely pieces available in Talking Beads shop i do not want to make a mess of it!

It is that time of the year when school uniforms are on everyones shopping list, i have decided this year to knit my 7yr old daughter & 6yr old son their caridgan & jumper! WIsh me luck :)

potty training & general twaffle :)



well i have 5 children, my mother was a very pushy type & had my eldest daughter potty trained by the age of 18months (she was my childcare while i worked) Anyways, i decided then with my other children to let them do things at their own pace, this worked fine with the middle 3 but my youngest is showing no signs whatsoever of letting go of the nappies and he will be 4 in October! We are in mega panic mode now as he starts nursery school on 7th Sept & has to be toilet trained!
Been to town this morning to buy him a new toilet seat, we have a magic stool for him to stand on, bought new pants and i've got a couple of little treats stashed away as rewards for him, now all i need is lots & lots of luck!

I've actually had a very good week this week, sold a few items, gotten a couple of custom orders, picked up a few bargains to go away for christmas (yes, i know its only July but like i said, i've got 5 kids to buy for lol)

My 6 & 7yr olds both came home from school at end of term with fantastic school reports so i bought them a little treat, gorgeous handmade necklaces from sprinkles sparkles on Misi, don't they look so happy with them :)

oops!


How long has it been since i blogged! Far too long by looks of things. So, i'll ease you all back in gently lol.
i have been so busy lately with custom orders, with the best seller at present being Timmy the cute little lamb from cbeebies programme Timmy Time (see pic)
I have been having a very good few weeks and to top it all off tonight i was picked as the winner of a blog comp run by the very lovely Caz of Pearls & Whirls and i won the beautiful little cupcake hairslides which i just know my 7yr old daughter is going to love!
I have also set myself up with a fanpage on facebook which can be found here Please do feel free to become a fan. if i have done things correctly, there should be a little button down the side of my blog somewhere!
Well, i shall leave it for there now but i promise not to leave it so long next time :)
