I opened more lovely pressies, including one of these
from my friend who knows me so well!I have been sewing....a birthday gift for a friends son's 1st birthday.
I decided that this year part of everyones gifts for birthdays etc will be handmade. I have been 100% successful so far...bunting for a friend of C's...candles for mothers day...this softie for afore mentioned baby!!!
(Mum's birthday is next and I am going to make her a bag, and get her a cake stand I think..she was eyeballing one in John Lewis on Friday!!!)I have also made some things for the colour swap and flower swap I signed up for. So can't show those...but looks like I'll be ready to send ON TIME!!! (Be a bit embarrassing if I was late sending my own swap out hehehe!!)I have added a couple of things to the Easter Giveaway parcel...I have made a cute spring/easter tote bag and you can see a wooden chicken on a stick peeping out!!
There is still another week before the computer chooses...time to get your name down if you haven't already!!And thats been my week!!I am still busy working on my new job, I think I will be able to make a grand announcement this week!! But for now I am going to have an early night..read my new magazine (failing on the no mag buying rule I set myself....although only sewing mags are finding their way home with me!!!) and enjoy my 80p reduced roses in my 50p thrifted jug.........

I am still working my way through mothers day and birthday chocolate - I am actually getting sick of the sight of chocolate and that is something I thought I would never say!
Was your Mum in John Lewis in Norwich on Friday? I was there too.
How lovely making all your presents, I bet the recipients are very pleased!
Love the softee!
Great idea to give handmade gifts. Funny thing is, the one person who I thought wouldn't appreciate handmade gifts (a friend) has loved everything so far and yet the people who I thought would just tend to look at me like i'm a bit dense,no sarky comments please ;) and think i'm a tight wad.
Have you been getting my emails?
