In awe

I was visited at the weekend by my friend Pam, a lovely crafty lady who I originally met at a crop in Nuneaton.
She brought us a house warming gift which left me totally speechless.


Hedge Parsley.
A Pam Hyams original. I've seen a number of Pam's wonderful paintings over the past few years including when she exibited her work at a gallery.
I can't put into words how shocked, thrilled & surprised I was by her amazing gift & her artwork will be hung in our lounge & will always remind me of how blessed I am to have such a generous talented friend.

What a Lovely day

At the begining of the year I vowed to Rusume my life & do what makes me happy .

So today I planned a scrappy day with my friend Jackie.


Firstly she surprised me with these beautiful flowers.


Secondly we didn't scrap at all! but what we did do was chat, drink tea, laugh & chat some more.
It was so great to catch up . We plan to repeat this regularly :)

First Monthly Make...

 I had great plans in my head

 of what fab projects 

I was going to make for this months make

 but with the house move

 & all the unpacking 

I've had limited time to be honest.

I had planned to widen my cookery skills

now we have a shiny new kitchen

by trying at least one new recipe

a month,

so for January i would combine the two projects.

I decided to make shortbread.

Why I've not made it before is beyond me!

I followed a recipe by Lorraine Pascale

which was very easy to do ,

with a little help :)

 It proved to be so tasty that it lasted less than 24hours!

So I will certainly be making it again.
