Happy 1st birthday Romanais!
It is one year ago today I began to blog. My first blog posts from 3rd January 2013 can be found here, here and here.
Romanais was a present from Nicolette, she brought and registered the domain as a present for me and told me on the night time of 1st January 2013 I had to use it - it took a further 2 days (3rd January 2013) before I plucked up the courage to post anything.
To be honest I never thought I would get this far, I thought I would get bored after a few days! I never ever imagined I would reach 12 months! Now blogging has just become a way of life - the camera is always in my bag or nearby to snap things we are doing and upload later in the day.
I think of this blog is my little online scrap book where I can document places we have been and things we have done, chart our achievements and share it with others. It means family can see what we are doing, for example share our holidays with us even though they are miles away and catch up on our crafting projects. Anais and Roman also enjoy looking back at old photo's and remembering the fun things we did - Anais even asked for a video camera for Christmas so she could "make happy memories too"!
It started off small like a little seed where I didn't know what I was doing and over the past 12 months has grown into what it is now. I have learnt how to change formats, HTML Christmas countdown widget's, edit photo's, do slideshows - over the year it has just evolved.
I hope everyone enjoy's reading my blog and seeing what we get up to as we look forward to more happy days ahead! :-) xxxx

We made a chocolate brownie cake today. Here is the chocolate and butter being melted.
Both mixing in the eggs and flour once the mixture had cooled.............
About to go in the oven..................
With squirty cream -Ta Dah!
When we went to Blist's Hill to see Father Christmas Mark brought me this set from the dress maker's shop - a "make your own peg doll".
I started to make her this afternoon. Firstly I wrapped brown crochet cotton around a fork (like making a mini pom pom) for her hair.
I also painted her some brown shoe's.......
I couldn't do much more with her until her feet dried so I will come back to her tomorrow.
While I was finding the above brown cotton out for the dolls hair I also came across a ball of this blue yarn (don't think its a proper cotton - acrylic) and thought it was a nice colour so I did a quick crochet coaster to see how it crocheted together. It has turned out quite nice.
One of my New Year's resolutions was to read more. Unfortunately I haven't done any reading since we spent the summer in the caravan. When we got home we were pre-occupied with having Fred the fire installed and redecorating the lounge, then it rolled round to October holiday in Weymouth and we were busy going out everyday and going to the arcades and ballpit on a nighttime and then Christmas rolled around.
Yesterday I charged Percy my Kobo up and last night went to bed and started reading John Grisham "The Partner". I haven't read any John Grisham's in a while. I am 47% of the way through it so far.

Anais and Roman have mostly been watching films on "Netflix" today before it expires next week. Anais got her writing book out earlier and started to do some writing and Roman has been playing with his Lego and as usual making rocket's instead of what they are supposed to be.
Early blog tonight, kids are in bed watching films on their tablets, Mark is doing a model (will blog about it tomorrow) and I am going to sit in front of the fire and read my book xxxxxxxx
