Slimming Update

Ohhhh if only I could get back into the swing of things.

I went along to me weekly Slimming World Club and gingerly stepped on the scales knowing all too well that I shouldn't have ate that Mapel Pecan Pastry or the big bar of Milky Bar that found it's way into my hand whilst at the supermarket.

Wow I lost 1 1/2 lb this week.

Now I think it is because I over compensated for my naughty eats, so I'm determined that I now get back on track.

How did you do this week?

Haute Tote

Another Haute Tote, this one is for a friends birthday, made with Double sided card, brads, die cut flowers a template from here and a lot of love.

Attention to detail...

The little purse make the perfect accompaniment to the Tote.

A matching punched flower and a charm and a bit of faux stitching.

Mothering Sunday Tote Bag

I have to say that I love this little beauty, the template comes from Creations By A.R.
and costs only $5 for the download, so I have now made a pretty little gift bag which will be perfect for Mothers Day, all I need to do now is fill it.
All the papers used in this project are made by Stampin Up.

Baby Jack - What a Palava

Monday Night is our quality time with Grandson Jack.
Tonight he went for a long stroll with Granda in his new pushchair, we had bought one for home previously but we both hated it, we kept stepping on the brake and all but going head first over the handle was a nightmare.
Tonight Jack graced us with one of those nappies that no one wants to have to deal with, squishing out the sides up his back and even in his tummy button (urghhhhh)
What a palava, we whipped off the nappy and I held him at arms length whilst Granda tried best he could to wipe him down.
Auntie Natalie cockled and ran out of the room.
I then tried to strip him as the bath was the only place he was going to get clean and by this time it was all over his vest and my hands.
You'll be pleased to know he is now clean as a whistle and smelling like a new teacake again.
This is a picture of him with a crust of wholemeal bread on Saturday.

Nesty Eggs - Easter Blessing

This is another stamp set by Waltzing Mouse Stamps which I just new that I had to have.

Stamped onto a mustard coloured card heat embossed white white detail powder and layered with brown card.

Attention to detail...

A little bit of sponged on whit ink to the center of the egg gives it the appearance that it is rounded.

A pearl added on each cross of the pattern makes the egg pop.
