happy days


Well hello there everyone , i hope you are all ok ?

Tonight i can finally share with you the good news that we have decided where our wedding will be now big drum roll ............ tada its the headland hotel

Ok ok i suppose its not to much of a surprise but after we saw a wedding party on Crantock beach we just both said Fistral was the place for us !!!

It is a wonderful place but most of all it over looks the beach we both love !!!!

If you go on google images there are some great shots of the hotel !!!!

So now all we have to do is save lots of pennies and start with all the planning yay !!!!

I think i can see myself sewing lots of bunting to pay for this ;0)

Ooooh talking of bunting its all going very well and i am very impressed so far with the mahoosive binting which is just for my website talking of which the website is open again and i am slowly getting it filled up with lovely new things !!

Must dash now as my darling DP has just left for a weeks treking in Morocco
I hope he has an amazing time and i am very jealous of the fact they spend 3 days in the same clothes ........ NOT !!

Well i never

When packing for a trip abroad one should always consult the airlines do's and dont's
here are just a few that we found today while packing for DP's trekking trip

Did you know you cannot take a lawnmower or chainsaw in your hand luggage on a plane ??

Can i check in a parachute ... yes you can !!

There are many more , some would surprise you !!!

warning warning


Sorry i have to post this it may offend a few people !!!

Weather Warning its going to be hot !!!!!!!

OMG what is wrong with people in the UK its bliddy summer the sun is supposed to shine its supposed to be HOT , when it starts raining and the temp drops next week we will all be moaning then !!!

So if you can kick back and make the most of it , cos lets face it it really wont last .
Wear some lighter clothes , take your coat off ..... yes can you believe people out in the sun wearing a coat what is that about i mean honestly ??
The last two summers have been wet and miserable and believe me i would rather have this nice weather than bliddy rain !!

So now i have had my little rant which i have edited so as not to offend EVERYONE who likes it well who knows how they like it ... oh no im off again !!

So why not enjoy your day crack out that summer dress kick off those shoes get some sandals on enjoy the sun cos it wont last !!

I am off to cut out more bunting wooo !! hopefully pictures later that aren't from my trip to Cornwall !!

beware of the giant bunting

( thrifted buttons from a trip to the boot sale just before we went away )


Yes i know its my least fave but in a odd way nicest thing to make ... makes sense no !!!


I am re doing my bunting making a tad easier to make but also making it in 4 sizes there's teeny , small , normal and mahooosive !!!

summer holiday

so yes you may have guessed from my lack of blogging that we have been away on our annual trip to Cornwall .


Sennen checking out the climbing .... looks very good now all i need is my new climbing stuff !!

I had planned to blog while i was away but we had no wifi connection booohooo , i do have to say after the initial shock it was really good to be free from my puter !!!

Crantock beach at sunset ..... nuff said

I did take lots of photo's which i am going to load onto flickr later but for know i will share a few with you and this week i will share more about what we did and where we went .

We did have a wonderful time and i did miss my blog and seeing what you have all been up to , i did try to keep up on my phone but boy was it hard work !!!!

So right now i am off to do a small mountain of washing , it always amazes me how we have so much washing when we have lived in boardies and wetsuits all week !!!

Ooooh forgot to say we have made a final decision on wedding venue after seeing a wedding party on the beach more on that very soon !!!

Looking


Well its looking like my blog updates are going to be weekly for the next few weeks , i have so much to do sewing wise never mind everything else !
I am struggling with my blogging too , i don't want to bore you all with lots of ooooh i made this and this and that and you can buy them here but that's all i have at the moment !

You see this week has been lots of sewing no surprise there then , a bit of shopping mainly for fabric mmmm no surprise there either .... you see that's all i do sew !!


Today we got up early to go to one of the loveliest school summer fairs i do . It was at a pretty little place called Buxworth , i have been here before and its great because everyone is so laid back !!
We had another good day and i must report sales were very good .... yay !!

I have sold a few things this week including some more flower brooches iam down to 2 now so that's my treat for tonight a tub of Kellys of Cornwall clotted cream ice cream and a box of teeny tiny bits of fabric , we know how to live it up on a Saturday night i tell ya !!!


I also sold a few of my summer fair special smock type dresses / tops (a bit of a different style from last summer) which i love to make but find the whole thing mind blowing with sizes and such like , they are not ever on the cards for mass handmade production that's for sure .

I will make some more of the tie on ones i prefer them so much and i have tweaked the pattern to within an inch of its life as such !!

Must dash as i have to go and try and draw up a baby hat pattern x x x
