A brief update with lots of pictures

ooh Blogger has all changed :/ how long has this been going on for?? Probably yonks. I dont like change... I dont want to be in a pie, I dont like gravy...
My girl child has been doing her exams, and I've been busy working, my son has been finishing uni so its just been madness all around, not that that is an excuse for my lack of blogging however I've had pigger flu for the second time which wiped me out completely for a fortnight but I'm back on the mend now and feeling a lot better and maybe now the sun is shining a bit, I might get more creative with my camera and my words and get blogging again.. who knows.
Anyway here is the news.
I found a wooden doll kit on etsy and fell in love with it so I treated myself to one, I got it before I was ill and desperately wanted to get on with her but had to wait :(  because I had no energy at all. When I was better I set about painting her whilst watching a very nice long Catherine Cookson on the tellybox (I think it was Tilly Trotter). I'm really pleased with the results and I love her sooo much. If you want to have a go at making one then you can find the kit at  this link (Sophie Tilley Designs)

 

 Here are some buns the girl made to surprise me when I got in after work, and a good job she made of them too. Shes a star.

Because I missed Easter completely on my blog here is my attempt at making chocolate Easter eggs and the Girls waiting for Easter Sunday. 

 And for my Mum for Mothers day I made a little circus elephant from a pattern from Gingermelon Dolls  (fiddly but really cute when finished) and some cupcakes.

That is all for now :) Hope everyone is well and happy xxxx
