can i borrow some thoughts?
If it is possible i would like to have some of your thoughts.
Tommorrow is the day that i have a stall to sell hopefully some pieces that i have made.
I have to say sorry as i have already set up the stall and i have forgotten to take some pics for you to see, but i will take some tommorrow.
So back to your thoughts, while i was setting things up i realised that this event isnt going to be as big as an affair as i first thought, i mean i thought more people were going to be having stalls but it seems like it is just the local church that have organised a few local people to make things eg jams, patchwork items, toys, books etc. Anyway while i was having a quick look, i noticed that some of the patchwork items were priced. There was a bag at £7.50, quite large pin cushions for £2.00 and some patchwork cushions for £6.00.
Now i know there has been alot of you that has had trouble pricing your items when you come to sell them. I had already sorted out a price list, but then my mother in law spoke to me ( she is one of the church ladies) as she wanted to ask what prices i was thinking of putting onto my things, when i told her she mentioned that i shouldnt price my items too high. I replyed that fair enough i realise that prehaps some of the people that wil be going will not expect to pay a higher price than what they are used to but if i didnt sell my things that i would keep hold of them and try on a stall near to xmas, prehaps at the primary school..
Now after this discussion i started to feel like that i have priced things too high, but i have been looking around in shops etc and i dont think that im too far off,
examples my cushions i was going to sell for £10.00 with the inner of £7.50 without,
my rabbits i was thinking of £5.50, doorstops £8.00 with rice inside,
pin cushions £2.00, lavender bags small 50p med £1.00 and Larger £2.50
you get the idea.......
so do you think they are too high are do i hold my ground and if i dont sell much then to try again at xmas, please i would like your thoughts. You know i felt abit like i was letting the ladies down because i have priced differently. I wondered whether it is because they are out of sinc and not relating to what the prices are now, or whether prehaps they want to keep the prices low so they can get some funds. Dont get me wrong they are lovely people and the last thing i want to do is to put anyones nose out of joint.
So please do try and help me tonight.....i would value your imput.... THANKYOU.....

Flo, our new little friend..
Well if you dont know from my last post, we have a new friend 'Flo the chick'.Mabel has been such a good mummy, tucking her under making sure she's warm enough.
Flo has now started eating chick crumb and she's walking around the hen house so sweetly exploring everything.
Now last time i showed you all a picture Flo wasnt really looking her best, looking abit like she had just got out of bed. Her feathers were still alittle damp and she wasnt really on her feet, so now i have some more pictures to show you....

Flo still with her bed feathers...    Bear was so gentle when holding her, but look at her she is so sweet ...x I do hope you have enjoyed looking at her.... |

ohh look what i have to show you....
Like expected parents we have been waiting patiently for our new arrivals, and today is the day that one has showed its cute little face, want to see.............
Well here it is.......
this, a mean i know prehaps it doesnt look so pretty yet but just wait and see it when it eventually fluffs up...
Ive been so excited all morning at work since we noticed the crack at 6.30am. Must admit though its been worth the wait...
Cameron has had double the joys as it is also his 11th birthday. So as well as his presents he also has a baby chick too. All we have to do now is think of a name but i think this will have to wait until we see its character abit and what colour etc it is... so for now iam going to leave you until i have some more pics....
Well here it is.......

'coming of age me dear'
After having the last couple of weeks of appointments, yesterday we decided to take a break. We spent a lovely morning over at a National Trust property, Angelsey Abbey which is based near to Cambridge.
We havent been there for a few years now but i must say what a treat, everything has grown so much. Now i guess you are wondering why i prehaps choose the title coming of age me dear. Well because hubby cannot walk very far at all we decided to hire one of the Trusts mobility scooters, which is all free of charge. Great news but we were limited to 2hrs which i must say really prehaps could of done with abit longer, but you know at least hubby could join me and the kids on a much needed break away from the house. Anyway i have took some pics, so why not let them show you around.
and of course here is a picture of my hubby on his mobility scooter, he even had the respect from the older generation as we passed by. I suppose they were surprised to see a younger man riding one.
A good day had by all, definatley a good release from our everyday routine...
Now all we have to do is wait till tommorrow as hubby has an appointment with the hospital consultant regarding his leg, hopefully everything will go ok.

we saw this lovely family of swans altogether they had 7 signets with them which is fab because normally only a few survive...
Even the artists came out in force to work their brushes, just maybe one day i can do this too, when i have the time....
Since we were last there, they have put in place a lovely woodland area where the kids can go and explore...

aarrggghhh!!!!
Oh my god, where have they gone. I have just logged into my tesco's email account and ALL, i mean ALL of my messages have gone, all that i have sent, received and even all of my contacts. I do hope that its just a clinch on tesco's part and that all will be sorted out soon, but i have this horrible feeling that they are all gone forever.
If anyone else out there has the same problem please do let me know and settle my mind abit.
Any way today my daughter has a friend round and they are having a sleep over. As it has been so nice today we thought that it would be great to get one of our tents out, yes one of four, we havent chucked out any since we first started to date. So we have the four man one out and im sure they are going to have lots of fun.
I really do wish hubby was up and about so we could do the same as a family but he would never get back on his feet, let a lone him getting on the floor in the first place.
Nevermind i say next year we will make up for it, anyway hubby is slowy starting to move around so we have to keep positive. I really cant believe that its already 9 months, i really cant see where the time has gone and for both of us still staying postive, well how do we do it.
Lately i have been abit busy making some things for this summer stall so i shall have to post some bits on here for you all to see, please dont expect too much as im not an expert but i have enjoyed making them, so keep your eyes peeled. x x

egg citing new delivery!
Well the holidays have started off well.
Cameron has now finished primary school, so he is starting secondary school in september. Big steps for all of us, for him its a new school, new friends etc for the parents its another child that has left primary school and you can now start to feel your age, i mean it doesnt seem like 5 mins since me and my hubby went to the same school, but now its been 25 years since then. How things can seem so fresh in your mind. Anyway im sure Cameron will have lots of fun but it just reminds me that i have to let go a bit more often....
Yes as the title says i literally had a egg citing delivery.....
Mable my brown hen has become broody this last 2 weeks, spending all day sitting on her nest box, not moving to far at all. So after speaking to my dearest friend over at scented sweetpeas, she and her husband payed me a little visit. Down they came on their tandem..with a special delivery of 6 freshly laided hopefully fertile eggs... so hopefully around about the 21st of August we may have some little fuffy chicks, oh i cant wait i feel like an expected mum all over again.
Also the timing couldnt be much better as it will be Camerons 11th birthday on the 21st so hopefully a lovely present, we shall have to wait and see.
We all had a good day out the other saturday, as there was a family fun day/bug hunt at our local nature reserve. Lots of bugs and butterflies were found, even this strange little fellow below......
its amazing how much fun can be had in a plastic tube...

one find was this horrid looking fellow...
Bear was joined by his friends Esme and James, Cameron had his friends Ethan and Oliver and Beth had fun with Ethan and Esme's sister Imogen. It was so nice just to have all friends together including all the parents and just relaxing and having fun.
Before i go i must say pop over and see the lovely lady at country rose as she is holding a lovely giveaway. I have had trouble getting the link but if you look at blueberry fields blog she has a link.
Anyway i hope you have all had some fun days x x x now i look forward in seeing what you have all been up to xxx
