A New Bear very soon!

Well I have had an absolutely crazy week! First of all my daughter had her second baby a week ago..a lovely little girl named Anna Florence born last Tuesday by C section weighed in at 7lb 14oz. She's absolutely gorgeous and I am so proud. Then we had a little break over Easter and so I am way behind with my work!!
Anyway I have been working hard to catch up and I completed a beautiful bears head today and should be able to finish up the bear tomorrow or Friday.
So keep checking here for my new bear which will be roughly 18 inches and is a very pretty baby faced bear in a sludgy gold mohair.

Emails not working....

Just in case anyone has emailed me and not had a reply I have been having MAJOR glitches with my emails again. If they came through to my laptop...which most do since I check it every morning ...then they are lost I am afraid. My computer has decided it doesn't like Outlook Express and has totally stopped me opening the email files..even though I am trying hard to get it up and running again it's so annoying!
If you have emailed and not heard from me I am not being rude..it just hasn't arrived so please email again and I should be able to read it on my other computer!
Sorry!

Easter bunnies special visit to my house

Well..two weeks before Easter the Bunnies have been to my house especially early. There is a new baby arriving on our family during Easter week...(my daughter is having a caesarian section) and so we are having Easter Eggs early in our family. We are doing an egg hunt today and the children are coming armed with their baskets and loudest squeals to find the eggs.
Can't wait!!!

Please vote for LETTICE!

The TOBY AWARDS Public Choice Voting is now on-line and Lettice is in Category 7 and would love it of you would vote for her.
I hate canvassing for votes as I find it a bit cheeky asking...but if you don't ask you don't get so please pay her a visit. You can vote for your favourites in all the categories , there are wonderful entries I found it hard to choose!
I posted a picture of her below and here is the link so you can cast your vote. 


Oh to be in England now that spring is here....

This is my dad's flower bed ...I took a picture of it this morning . Isn't it a joy. I love the colours they really lift my spirits!
The birds are loving the garden at the moment, I am sitting outside snipping the seams on my next pieces and the little birds are lining their nests with mohair . No wonder we have some unusual birds nesting here!! That's in spite of a daft cat who sleeps all day. 
My sister says the word has got around about the nesting 'fluff'. There is a whole lot of 'twittering' going on.
The nests in our garden are five star luxury!!

Anyone for Pizza?!!

I don't often report the grandchildrens antics because not everyone goes gooey over other people kids but the other day my husband , Steve, was wallpapering at my daughters house. He had gone out without breakfast and was really hungry.In the middle of him putting up a piece of wallpaper Elizabeth , my 5 year old grand-daughter shouted...'grandad...do you you want a pizza?'
He shouted back , 'who is making it' she shouted back , 'me'.
So thinking that she and her daddy would be making a pizza he said he would love one and was looking forward to 'lunch'
Half and hour later Elizabeth pops her head up and said 'It's Ready,' and presented him with a Playdoh one that she had 'made'
Serves him right for not eating breakfast!!
