Tuesday Thoughts...

Hello,

Well half term is here, I can't believe it but here it is all the same, my little pickle is happy as this means no rushing around in the mornings :)

I am looking forward to Halloween on Friday, I have some finishing touches to add to the house, so pictures to follow very soon.........
But in the meantime -Here is a sneaky peek...

Dismembered Fingers..

Little pickle has made a face on the butternut!

Saw some friends yesterday which was very nice to catch up, and see our children playing together so well.

I have managed to complete my first Christmas gift - for my mum, I cannot post a picture as she reads my blog! , now onto scarf for Little Pickle, I got the idea from another blogger - it's a fox scarf so cute, so keep an eye out for the picture soon.

I still cannot believe how warm it is!, I got all the winter clothes out at the beginning of the month with pending thoughts to cold mornings and the need for scarf, gloves, hats etc but still not needed yet, I have a feeling when it does change it will be a shock to everyones system!

Have a nice Tuesday

Friday Feeling!

Good Afternoon!

I am so glad it's Friday, feels like it's been a long week.

As it was hubbies birthday yesterday, we are off for a meal out tonight just the 3 of us, really looking forward to it.

It was also my father in laws 80th yesterday, and the children are getting together over the weekend to celebrate, so I was baking again yesterday, lots of cupcakes - All Gluten Free of course!

Here is a pick of about 2% of them...

So you can see Jaffa Cake, Popcorn, Pumpkin Spice and Salted Caramel..

And sometime ago I made this cute Baby cake toppers from fondant icing which I thought I would share with you all, they would be great for a Baby shower or Christening, I made them for a Bake competition (which ended up being cancelled :(( ).

My love of baking continues..later on today, I shall be making a batch of Cheese Straws, sausage rolls to take with us.

It's been very grey and soggy in Sussex lately but I suppose we have done well considering it's nearly the end of October, only 60 days till Christmas!

Hope you all have a great weekend, thanks for visiting and commenting on my blog.

Granny Square Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday !

I know it's been a couple of days since I posted, but I have been working on several projects for Christmas!

As I explained in a earlier post I love Christmas and am filled with excitement the moment the magazines and gift guides hit the shops, yep Asda, John lewis, Ideal Home, Let's knit, Handmade Christmas I have them all..

It was while flicking though the Let's Knit Christmas edition that I came across a Crochet stocking, using Granny Squares, now being new to the whole knitting, crochet and sewing bug (September last year I couldn't even cast on, much to laugher of my mum and sister while watching me trying too!) but with the help of a friend and you tube I taught myself to do it and have been bitten by the bug now.

Sorry I have gone off track, Granny square stocking, I have never tried to crochet a granny square before as it always looked difficult, However....

Tah Dah....

I know it's not the best but for a first try I am pleased with it.. Just another 21 squares to go..

But I have seen so many lovely granny square blankets, cushions etc in blogland and now I know I can join the fun!

As my thoughts so out to a special friend this afternoon, I am thinking of what to make her..

Everyone take care.

Foggy Autumn Morning

As me and little pickle walked to school this morning, earlier than normal due to Choir practice, it was like walking in a dream, which is how I alway feel when it's foggy...

As I have started to take my camera with me everywhere I managed to snap some pictures, (please keep in mind I am new to this and my photo skills are a work in progress)

The spiders webs look magical when it has the dew on them, and they are everywhere...

As I passed a house there was beautiful red bush in the garden

Hope you like them.
