I'll be having more blog giveaways soon so please look out for them.
Hello hello hello. I am so easily distracted...one wee holiday to London and my knitting and blogging gets pushed aside. Yes, hubby and I went off to London for three days whilst Miss G went up to Forfar to visit Granny. It's amazing how much she seemed to grow up in the few days we were aways from her. Her speech is so clear now and appears to be still growing. Such a tall girl...she's only 4 and is wearing 6-7 year old clothes. my goodness.
I know I promised you a blog giveaway in February, but February kind of disappeared on me. You know how it is. However, I am very happy to announce that I have made a special 'Knick-Knack Pouch' (It's only 9x9cm big and my photos make my button look dark blue when it is purple). It's special because it's the first of it's kind and it all came from my head! So to win my very special pouch you have to tell me what knick-knacks you would put in your special pouch? Good luck and I look forward to reading your responses. x Oh and the closing time for my giveaway is 7:30pm (GMT) on Tuesday 10th March.
I have found some of the most beautiful silver work on Etsy...want it want it want it. It's by LA Valley Girly (aka Laurel Glendale), who as you can guess is from Los Angeles, California. Laurel makes gorgeous, simple pieces of jewellery at very affordable prices. She also has a blog with some very wise words on making sales and getting noticed in the world of Etsy. These earrings and necklaces are definitely going on my birthday wish list x
Really lovely so please check out Laurel's shop if you are looking for something special.
Of course it was based on the books by Sophie Kinsella which I have upstairs in my mini library but haven't got around to read yet....I'll let you know when i do and we'll do a compare and contrast.
I have finished my white gloves order and have added them to my etsy shop. However, I think it is definitely time for something different for KnitTwits and a blog giveaway is a calling. I haven't been blogging as much as I would like as I have been spending my computer time looking up life insurance and pension stuff (very boring) and things to do in London as hubby and I are off for a three day trip next week....very excited. We got such a bargain deal with our train and hotel. Now all I have to do is to decided if I want to go see a play or a musical or the opera? decisions decisions! Any suggestions? Hubby and I used to work in London so we will be revisiting a few haunts.
Miss G has been a bit under the weather recently with swollen glands. So she has been stuck in the house quite a lot over the past week and cabin fever struck on Sunday and she demanded that we make chocolate chip cookies. So, being the good mother that I am, I duly got the recipe book out and all of the ingredients. I would like to point out that mummy was a bit hung over and had the beginnings of a head cold....so mummy wasn't feelin too hot. All of the ingredients were measured and added then whisked together....my electric whisk is a bit old and goes a bit too fast! "Mummy does it go any slower?", "No" said a cross mummy with cookie dough all over the kitchen (I like controlled cooking!). After many nibbled chocolate chips we eventually get them into the oven. After all of this Grace refused, as she always does when she bakes, to eat any of the cookies! strange child. I had three of them with a lovely cup of tea watching "High Society" whilst Grace fell asleep on my lap. bless x
off with it's head.
got the giggles.

Well, 2009 has started out rather well for me. Not only did I reach my goal weight, but on the same week I finally received confirmation from my boss that I am getting my long awaited (three years) pay rise an a new work title of "Gallery Principal" (I work in an commercial art gallery for all those who didn't know). I feel very blessed as I know people are losing their jobs at the moment. I like my new title though... something different from the norm.
