Mum is so glad Ellen finally got the cross stitch

Mum is so glad Ellen finally got the cross stitch she made for her of Mickey. Mum is not a pro at cross stitch, in fact it is only the second one she has ever done, so she really hopes Ellen likes it. While doing the cross stitch it made mum think of some of the tales Ellen told of Mickeys little adventures and struggles  before she went to Rainbow Bridge, and she realises now just how much she understands Ellen's loss.

Mum must be bored

Mum must be bored, she is having fun on the computer doing silly things with my photos...

How many Flowers???

Well mum can't believe her eyes...this little orchid she saved from dying in the shop has now got 7... yes I will say that again 7 flowers on it, and it looks like it may pop open a few more... Beautiful

Carrot Thievery

So yesterday mum decided to make carrot and coriander soup, a nice big pot to freeze portions. I was a sneaky little sod and got away with one of mums carrot pieces, she chased me to get it lol I won though I got the carrot and it tasted gooooood...

This is for all you parrot people out there

Mum has something for all you parrot people out there to try... Origami Parrot, it is dead easy to make. Have fun

CHICKEN DANCE!!! MY BUTTFEATHERS

Mum says I look like I am doing the chicken dance in this photo.... How dare she???? I may just have to beaker her for that



Mum Says I am a perfectionist

OK so mum says I am too much of a perfectionist when I am building with my sticks. I just won’t rest until I have that stick exactly where I want it. What is wrong with that prey tell?????.



Crazy Little Pleco

Mum has a little Pleco in her Tropical fish tank, this Pleco is officially nuts, it sucks its way along the glass with the speed of a bullet. wooooosh. crazy little thing



SNOW!!! Where did that come from?

It was as clear as a bell on Friday evening, then Saturday mum and I woke up to a bit if snow, it snowed all day in little flurries, then stopped by the time we went to bed. We then woke up Sunday morning to find this on the ground outside.... I think the snow fairy came and scattered snow down while mum and I was sleeping.

 

 

Mum saved the plants

So a few months ago mum went to her local Homebase Store and went to the sick plant section (you know the area all the sad looking, half price, dying or poorly plants are) and she saw these 2 orchids. They were only a couple £’s each, so she grabbed them and took them home and replanted them, they flowered once and she thought that might be it, they died back over the winter, but lately they have been going mad, they are flowering beautifully. Well done mum (she is feeling kind of proud of herself)

 



Weather Change... So True

Mum saw this post on Facebook by Lucià Dorissà Fabelà and she showed it to me and said... 'Luigi, do you see that woman in the picture? well that's me' I think she is over exaggerating a little, all I do during the weather changes is one minute rip a piece of skin off her chin, and then an hour later try and make out with her ear while standing on her shoulder. What's wrong with that I ask you??? ;)



Mum and I saw this movie 'A Bird of the Air' by Margaret Whitton

Mum and I saw this movie yesterday, thanks to a lovely lady who sent it to me. You know who you are EU... It was so sweet, a sort of child like pure movie with such a sweet little tale to it, I am so glad I (& mum) watched it. It is no action adventure, but it is just right for a lazy Sunday afternoon chill out day

But as the day goes on I am getting used to it. She got it from this lovely lady who has this fab web page http://www.etsy.com/shop/rhencullen

OMG Mum is in Excrutiating pain

Well 2 days ago on Tuesday mum had one of her back teeth pulled out (she has lovely teath that she has always been proud of then a dentist messed one up about 5 years ago and it has given her nothing but problems ever sinse) so she went to the dentist who said it had a crack and needs removing, so on Tuesday she had to have it pulled after a  week of antibiotics for an infection that had set in. She has been in total pain ever sinse and has had no sleep. Poor mum

MUM makes things when she worries

When mum gets worried about life and what is going to happen to her she gets the urge to make things, (that is how my cross stitch got started) well this weekend not only did she 98% finish my cross stitch, she was so worried about stuff she decided to organise her jewellery and made herself a jewellery holder for her wall. Pity she doesn’t have enough money for bricks and mortar, she could have built a house by now.... lol :)

She started with a plain old picture frame she had lying around, then found some wooden and brass knobs, some brass hooks and some decorative leaf veins and buttons. I think it is pretty good seeing as it cost nothing.

 



CROSS STITCH... 98% finished, only 2% to go

Well… mum has done me proud on her cross stitch of me, she has totally finished the cross stitching part of it, all she has to do is the black outlines (she needs to practice this before she does it as it is the first time she has ever done this.) and then frame it with a nice scrapbook style boarder…she can see it all in her head :). The next time you see a post for this cross stitch will be when she has completely finished it.

The 30 cm ruler should give you an idea of the size of it

 

 

Mum is pink mad at work

Not sure how many of you know this; but although mum does not like pink in her home, she loves the colour pink, especially at work, it cheers her up and makes the day a little happier... It is the sparkly pink diamante mouse that cheers her up the most... ;)
