We went to the cinema today to see Tinkerbell and the Secret of the Wings on the Kids Club. We haven't been since Madagascar 3 on 19th January as we have already seen all of the films since, as they tend to repeat them every few months.
I haven't had time to make anything today so here are two cards I made the night before we went on holiday using tags from the Birthdays closing down sale
1 - a kids birthday card, embossed using my Shapeboss Christmas embosser stencil, it is supposed to be a candy cane embossing but I thought the candy cane also looked like the tread of a tyre so I embossed the outside, and stuck the Lightening McQueen tag to some birthday paper and stuck in the middle of a card
2 - I used the shapeboss again with corner straight line embossing and stuck a tag in the middle with a bow on the present and a sequin gem in each order corner to "bling" it up a little!

Roman has been moaning for nearly two weeks now - since pancake day, that we never had any pancakes!
So I made pancakes for pudding today and they loved them yum :-) bonus was I never set the smoke alarm off! Hurrah!

This orchid lives in my bathroom, its so pretty, but it must have been so cold in our house last week with no heating on when we got back yesterday all the petals had wilted :-( I was worried it had died but it has been left in front of the radiator now for almost 48 hours and has picked up loads already being kept next to the warm so I am hoping it recovers properly. I love orchids they are so delicate and pretty!
Someone put this on their facebook earlier so I pinched it as it made me laugh, it reminds me of my mom buying fleece jackets, she needs one in every shade much to dads exasperation! (They know I jest!)
PROJECT SCARF
I pulled this out today and want to get it finished sometime this year ha ha! It was wool brought with the intention of making Mark a scarf for when he climbed Mount Snowdon in October 2012. When I brought the wool though I knew I'd struggle to get it done by then so I set myself the target of Christmas 2012 instead.
Its very thin wool though and 4mm knitting needles so progress is ssslllooowww! I figure if I leave it out and do a row here and there and also take it to the caravan I might have a chance of finishing it by Christmas 2013. It will only be 12 months late but better late than never right!
I just checked the ball band, 200grams! What was I thinking when I brought it! Its SMC Bravo Rainbow Colour in Misty by the way.
EDIT - 6 rows done
