Bits and pieces.

My job seems to take up so much time, even though its only a couple of days a week, I spend the rest of my time tidying up after my very untidy teens. I am just in the middle of redecorating my sons room, which took a whole day just to clear out the many many boxes of random things he's collected over his twenty years. (Yes hes twenty now, I feel old).
I've been on a healthy eating plan for 2 weeks now, its going okay. I hunted down the top in Mollie Makes video and bought it, but couldnt fit in it :( so I decided enough was enough and now I'm hoping to get fitter and be able to fit in my clothes again. Damn steroids really take their toll but luckily since I've been eating better and exercising my asthma hasn't been as bad (touch wood touch wood touch wood).
Here are a few things I've been making over the past few months when I've had a spare few minutes.
Rings are from a pattern from Mollie Makes, I'm assuming everyone has come across a copy of this marvellous magazine. Its my favourite mag at the moment and I genuinely get excited when it drops through the letter box onto my doormat. .
A last minute reversible tote bag for L's friend for her birthday. I found this lovely strawberry material in Boyes and I did mean to go and get some more. I hope it hasnt all gone :/
That's it so far. I finally made a monkee from Monkee makes blog, but I will show those pictures next time and in a minute I'll post the link to the sweet video of Mollie Makes so anyone who hasnt seen it can see what they are missing ;) xx
