Saturday reflections...

This week has been pretty uneventful, boys at school, me and hubby at work, the usual...the weather is beginning to get colder and we had our first real frost, the drive to work was amazing and I really wish I could have stopped and taken a picture. Part of the motorway is raised, and the view down across the valley was amazing, it was crisp white fog.. quite eerie but beautiful...I am finding myself getting really drawn to photography and am hoping the birthday fairy will bring me a camera!! I would so love to catch some of the natural views I get each day on my way to work.. That same day I did manage to catch a beautiful sunset on my phone.. not great.. but does capture..

The colours were amazing and in retrospect should have taken one of the residents down to the beach to get the full view.. note to self...think..

Christmas seems an age ago and yet again am frustrated that I did not really get any of my handmade Christmas bits done.. the most I did was to make the cake. So again this year I am planning great things, I always do and actually enjoy the build up more than the actual day. Today whilst surfing the blogs I frequent, I came across Lucy's gorgeous Christmas banner. For those who don't follow Lucy you really must drop into her blog.. here.. attic24  she is truly inspirational, her colours are amazing, anyway pinching a picture from her blog, here is what I really want to make..

How cute is that? crochet , stitching and buttons.. just up my street... and a project I can work on through the year......wording to be confirmed... no excuse I have yarn...have fabric... have buttons... and I really love her socks......

This week I also found this great blog.......Tag Tuesday.
now this really appeals to me, I love the vintage tags, and guess what ....I can start my Christmas 2012 preparations whilst having fun..... I have some vintage label tags so all I need to do now is get creative... each Tuesday I will be doing tag Tuesday posts...... well that's the plan.... actually this can be a weekend project.. still have time to get this weeks done... winter sports..

Fibre wise? not much happening.. some knitting, started a new swap project so cant post till recipient receives.. the great thing about this swap it is a stash buster... still spinning up the rest of Novembers fibre club...

Finishing on a positive note I did book our ferry for our June getaway to France... returning to the lovely chateau de monfreville.. I love this place..

unfortunately we don't stay in the chateau but a cottage in the grounds

its a wonderful place and Paul and Zoe are great hosts, I would highly recommend it.. check out the website  here 

Before I go I want to introduce you to a very special person...

This gorgeous little person was born on Friday 13th to one of the nicest couples I have the joy to know. Their journey to parenthood has had many heartbreaks but this little fella really is a miracle and has no idea how many people awaited his birth and the love that will surround him...life is precious....xxxxxxx
