Well, it's 5.45pm and there is a lasagne in the oven which is nearly ready, some garlic bread and some fresh veggies and it smells wonderful in here I can tell you! Can hardly wait for the next 10 minutes to pass so I can get stuck in - yummy!
Today I finished my first challenge for the Crafters Companion, Crafty Addicts challenge - its all done apart from some flowers which got missed in my kit but Lou has since posted them to me so as soon as they arrive there is a space waiting for them. I have to say I am pleased with the result but I can't show it on here yet because we are all posting them on the same day on the CC Forum which isn't until the end of the month.
I am still waiting for my kit for the Papertake Challenge and I hope it doesn't get held up for too long by the postal strikes.
I managed to get outside today and do some gardening - hasn't the weather been gorgeous today, a really lovely day of Autumn sunshine just like I remember as a child! Managed to tidy up a rather messy corner of the garden near the pond - I noticed that there are still lots of dragonflies about and the fish were all up hoping to be fed.
Whoopie - the timer has gone off so dinner is ready !!! Will finish this post when I've cleared my plate!
I have to say that was delicious.
Panic stations - my son just announced that they have to dress up as a character from a book for school tomorrow, nothing like a bit of notice. He says he wants to go a Captain Jack Sparrow and assures me that there is a book of Pirates of the Caribbean (not sure about that one!) so we have hunted high and low for his special 'Captain Jack' headband - which we found eventually under his bed (along with a lot of other long lost treasures and something green and furry which we shall not mention - god alone knows what it was!). We then found an old pair of trousers which we cut up a bit, got one of Dad's old white t-shirts and found a big brown belt ..... wow, its as though Johnny Depp was here - lol, wishful thinking - but he does look good. I hope tomorrow's bus driver is of sound constitution because there will be a very strange collection of children on the bus tomorrow including a Simba the Lion, Harry Potter and Will Turner to name a few!
Tomorrow I plan to do some more gardening when I finish work and then I will crack on with some more Christmas Cards for the Christmas Craft Fayre I am doing in November. I want to make some gift boxes too because I think they will sell well, especially ones specially sized for CD's and Play Station Games! At least I hope they will!
Thats all for today - goodnight all.
