No Time To Play


As Some of you may know I have a new job  3 days a week,well of course it is not really a job  I should be calling it a weight loss /exercise plan.
Little Miss X is now with me  while Mum goes back to teaching part time. This means that at the moment there will be no time for crafting on these days. The bag making is now reserved for weekends as I cannot risk a11month old in the same room as pins and scissors. Paper craft ATCs , journals etc. will now been done in the evening ,if I can stay awake.
I have had her on various odd days building up to this week ,and all went well  but she was not so mobile then. We now have an 11month old who can crawl faster than I can walk (almost ) add to this mix a Black Labrador with the waggiest  tail in the world and an obsession with food.

I have video footage of this as Wilson was under her chair and she giggled as she dropped food for him.IMG_5224
Unfortunately as she did not have a morning nap ,soon after lunch this was the scene.

BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND


So here in the U K we have had our last Bank Holiday of the year ,and for once the weather was quite good , perhaps not everywhere but down in beautiful Brixham  Devon it was a great weekend.
Before we went on Friday I had time to make one more bag,and I am so pleased with this one as it is made from old jeans.

This was fun to make and a great way to recycle.
Now some photos of our weekend in DEVON.

You know you have a house by the sea when you find crabs by the front door.
