#pinaddicts bunch

Well, you've seen what I was hoping to make 
a paper flower wreath to use up all those 
scraggy old pages from various books that can't be 
sold and no one loves any more and I JUST CAN'T THROW AWAY.

I cut out SO many spirally circles 

HOWEVER. After various unfurling flowers 
(Should have used glue gun)

and horrid virus hit the house and Half term descended

... time ticked on... 

So I abandoned wreath frame and 

reached for a barbecue skewer.

Behold...Bunch of flowers  

Romantic single stem  

Once again pinaddict ladies I HAVE had fun and am looking 

forward to seeing what we've all been pinning and making!

The Tiger who Came to Tea...

The Tiger who came to Tea was a firm favourite in our house for many years... and I've just seen bought this 'Tiger Food' in the V& A shop...

Will let you know how they taste - You could base a whole party around these biscuits... mmm am thinking a little tea party may be nice - 

Tiger masks, tea pots, crafts using the empty tins.... followed by a sausage and chips meal in 'the cafe' and story time...

and for those of you that have NO idea what i'm talking about you tube as ever comes up trumps-

Enjoy the rest of your weekend all X

Bath time Blues

Bathtime has become Battle time.... 'Come on you need a bath'.... We hide, we mess, we faff, strop, DO ANYTHING except get undressed and into the ruddy bath. 

HAIRWASH makes the For Sale signs pop up along the road - 

The screams, the heartache, the 

AAAAARRGH.....

Just for the record if anyone would like to run me a bath, wash my hair (optional) I will hop in before you've got the plug in. Doesn't even need to look as nice as the bath above because in my head it will.  I can only guess that the pile of wet towels and dirty clothes, plastic boats, water pistols and doll parts are just out of shot or strategically hidden behind the curtain.
