This afternoon I have done some cutting outs but not easy with the handle bit loose. Do anyone know a good way to attach it back on ?<br />Sports on Tv so haven't a chance to look in so I might catch up on my planner later on. Still got some shows from Hochanda to see. They have been pretty fun and lots of idea's (if I only could remember anything) to watch so far but not really any bargains so haven't bought anything. Can you be a member only for a month and then stop do you mean Karen or did you have to do longer ?<br />Going out in the morning and in the afternoon tomorrow I have to tidy a bit around the crafting station.again. Don't understand what happens, maybe it is my cuddle Oscar who are up to mischief but can't see how. He look so angelic when I looking over so he couldn't be a naughty one could he ? hihi. <br />Norah, I really hope he remember tomorrow ! You deserve something special, in silver perhaps. long hug.<br />Also to Saba, Wendy, Sheila and to the whole bunch of you my wonderful friends, long warm hugs XxXx<br /><br />Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05672255244916708700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-13136346115597586812016-01-18T21:07:42.638+00:002016-01-18T21:07:42.638+00:00Hi Sandra and all in the Cafe today.

He didn't get car sick or anything . He got quite excited watching the cricket - it was a very exciting match! I'm sure you don't know what I'm rabbiting on about but England won the Series against South Africa and it was a great match ! He is beginning to understand cricket - but the football offside rule is a wee bit beyond him yet! Ha ha !!

Your shawls are beauitful and so delicate. The work that you put into each and everyone of your shawls. As for the Huggles they seem to have calmed down a bit since all the Christmas goodies etc have been removed. I did see one of them with his hand in the jam pot the other day, I had a few words with him telling him that just doesn't get done and he should be ashamed of him self. It took a good few wet wipes to get him clean of the jam. I did tell him you would not be happy as you have told them they haven't to touch or take things that don't belong to them. We will hope it didn't all fall on deaf ears.

All the snow has gone now it didn't lie long thank goodness - it looks lovely but I don't like having to drive in it. Its still very cold but after walking quickly we soon warmed up.<br />I think the weather is getting everyone down as its very quiet in the café - must be crafting weather.<br />Am out later so wont pop back<br />Hugs to all who need them<br />Thinking of you Barbara and Sheila<br />Hugs Jean xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16090922943744976620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-34805024408974611482016-01-18T14:15:08.274+00:002016-01-18T14:15:08.274+00:00Hello Janet, hope you get your crafty bits finish...Hello Janet, hope you get your crafty bits finished off!

Well I'm back home...Hello Sandra and Everyone, <br />Well I'm back home! That was my problem - we've been away since Thursday morning! I 'm not keen on giving this information on an open blog! We had a good journey home from Warwickshire - only two hours which is pretty good! <br />We were going to leave at 10.30am but decided to have coffee instead! Retirement has its plus points!!! <br />We've been to our son and daughter in law's and they recently moved house so it was lovely to see that. It is in the country so we saw foxes eating windfall apples, muntjac deer doing likewise and pheasant and woodpecker. We have one visit us here but this one was much bigger. It's been so restful .<br />Sorry about last week's challenge Sandra I started but didn't finish!! I will do my very best this week.<br />I really like this week's challenge too and your card is lovely! <br />I hope you had a lovely Birthday Pat. <br />I'm going to read what you have been up to now.<br />You have had quite enough peace!!!

Sandra...Good morning my little coffee shop cherubs,<br />Sandra you have put up a beautiful card for us today and i see i think, Anna Marie papers/card making up the flowers which is a lovely addition to it as to me you have had the snow falling inside the house onto the card, only because of the wee white dots on the flowers reminds me off snow. Also the sparkle off the glitter that is under the background and decorating the flower in the center. Lovely flower, just lovely and i wonder if i will get the chance this week to be able to let you see my take on the sketch. I do know what you mean about using the same favourite dies all the time though as i love Sue's Spanish set and make special cards with them as i love to make them shaped and with these i have made for all sorts of occasions.<br />Brenda flower i am so glad that you are going to have a room all of your own to be able to get peace to craft in, i just need to wait until i decide that i want to move and then i will make sure i have crafting space that i can call mine, where i can shut the door and moanin' minnie won't be able to say anything about me crafting and the mess.<br />Pat, i hope that you had a lovely day yesterday and that you were made to feel as special as you are flower.<br />I am washing the shawl this morning and away to pin it out upstairs to let it dry with all it's wee peakie bits. I love to see them when they are all in place and white and pristine as Kirsten has ruined the blue one i did for Harry with her engagement ring that catches on it because of the proud setting that it has. I won't tell you what i felt like when i seen the state of it but surffice to say i was more than a little up set about it.<br />Right i will have a latte and then i will get going with the shawl. I have brought in some huggles for the basket so i have told them to play nicely with the others that are there and they might see Morag or Hughie or some of the older ones that have been adopted to make someone happy. Wee Preemi i think has decided to stay the size he is as he just doesn't seem to want to grow, so he is going to remain i think tiny and dainty.<br />Barbara flower i hope that you are being kept going with your wee grandchildren and daughter as you could do with that kind of normality to help you through these very difficult days. I hope your Peter has or had a good flight back across but what a hard journey he has had to make back to you. Sending you special hugs my dear friend to help you throught these difficult days.<br />Have a good day everyone and i will be back after i have pinned the shawl.<br />love<br />Norah xGlenharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03653116596107902711noreply@blogger.com
