How does your garden grow

The sweet peas smell heavenly. They are the last thing I look at before closing the front door at night, and the first plant I check in the morning. There seem to be new blooms daily. My cucumber and tomatoes are coming along nicely. They love this hot weather and need watering morning and evening at present. Hope you are all enjoying the garden too. X

More makes

Hello sunshine, hope you are here to stay for a while. Phew it's been hot this past week but so lovely to have sunny days in the garden wearing shorts and strappy tops with my flip-flops. I picked a little posy from my garden which now sits on my bedside table. The sweet peas smell heavenly. Do you like my crochet bunting I made for Coco Baby's bedroom? Also I'm hearting my Noro shawl which still needs blocking..... Don't think I will get much chance to wear it yet. Toodle pip for now. X

Dresses for Coco baby

I have so much inspiration buzzing in my head since having Coco baby. I love making bits and pieces for her. Do you like these little dresses? Picked up some fat quarters and pretty bias binding whilst out shopping for just a couple of pounds each. A few hours sat at my sewing machine and TA DAH..... Pretty dresses. The dress with the colourful fruit was made using a tablecloth bought for 99p from the pound shop. I used curtain lining to line it as the fabric isn't the best quality but what a bargain. I'm sorry about my post being contained in one paragraph. I blog from an iPad 2 and can't seem to blog in the same way as with the lap top. Does anyone have any good advice regarding suitable blogging apps? Do you like my ginger boy Ambrose? He was enjoying the sun at the weekend. He seems to be looking less for his sister this week. Handsome boy X X

Happy makes for my little family

What a lovely day again, although I think it may cloud over and rain a little later. Never mind. We don't mind because there are lots of lovely things to do here at home with Coco Baby. Do you like the pretty cardigans I've knitted for her? Didn't want the Mr to feel left out so knitted him a pair of double knit slouch socks to wear with his walking boots. Loving the garden and enjoying watching Coco Baby as she explores. Hope the sun is shining for you. X

Millie Cat

If I had known that on that day our time was near the end. I would have done things differently, my forever friend. I would have stayed right next to you deep into the night. But I thought I would see you in the early morning light. And so I said goodnight to you as I closed the kitchen door. Never thinking that I wouldn't see you anymore. But if I'd known that on that day our time was at the end. I would have done things differently my forever friend. I wish I could have been with you Millie. I'm so sorry beautiful girl. I miss you.

Coco baby

Yesterday was my birthday. You made my birthday perfect. I didn't need any gifts because I have you in my life. Your first smile of the day for mummy on her birthday. Your first cuddle of the day for mummy on her birthday. Making me smile as you shouted dadadadadada as we shopped in the supermarket. Smiling at the lady behind us over my shoulder as we waited in the queue for my birthday treat latte. Adding to your fan club as we waited for my blood test in the doctors surgery. Putting your fingers in my mouth (your latest trick) as I breastfeed you. Talking to me with your eyes. Such beautiful expressive eyes. Talking in your own little language to my flipflop. Waving and clapping your hands at Charlie dog. You made my special day extra special. You make every day extra special. I love you my darling Coco baby.
