This and That

Meet Jess, she is my Mams cat, an old lady now but her very good companion and baby.

Everything is much slower going now, she took an age to get in this position and then once she did get there she just couldn’t be bothered to clean herself.

Poor thing, we then had the same malarkey for her to get out of this position.

She was a rescue cat and was always very nervous, would never let you pick her up but would get on your lap of her own accord and purrs like a tiger when stroked.

She lets Mam pick her up now.

Yesterday was Chris’s 50th Birthday. Love this man to the moon and back again.

We both took the day off work and spent some time together.

During which he would take his old bike to have the brakes upgraded using his birthday money, I went along to the shop with him then we would go for lunch.

We popped back t the bicycle shop as h wanted something else adding to the bike and then it happened……….

I got my eye on a new bike, I know, I know it was his Birthday but I just couldn’t help myself.

I bought a Cannondale Quick 3X 2014

 

I have however left it at the shop until Christmas time and I intend using all of my Christmas Pennies towards it.

I also know that it is a mans bike but it was better than the ladies so that was that.

Just Inklined to Hop–Christmas

Today is blog hop day and our super talented Design Team have some amazing projects to show you.

To make the hop more fun, there are 2 hidden spot prizes along the way, chosen from those that leave comments on the blogs.

This months theme is "Christmas" hosted by Karen L which is where the blog hop starts.

You should have landed on my blog from Tangii 

I’ve used Poinsettia Lamp for my card and you can buy it from Just Inklined 

 

It is wonderful to colour as it is a pencil line digi stamp which give a much softer appearance.

I’m the last on the hop, the donkeys tail so to speak but if you missed any along the way here is a list off all of the girls.

Bubble Heart by Mo Manning

When I was younger I used to chew Anglo Chewing Gum, much to my Mams dismay, you could stretch it right out and twirl (swing) it around your finger, making sure your finger was wet enough for it not to stick to it, you could stretch it over your tongue and nip it between your lips and your teeth and suck inwards to make the most refreshing clacking noise and of course you could blow the most mahousive bubble that would burst and stick to your face.

However all of this said I wish I’d come up with this idea, Anglo bubble gum would have been just perfect for it.

Coloured with Copic markers and chalk pencils.

Pickled

I'm wondering if pickled eggs is a British thing, I love them and so does my eldest daughter, Chris is more of a curried egg fan.

I set to and made a big jar of them tonight after dinner, now to wait 6 weeks before I can eat them.

Do you make your own pickles? if so what do you make?
