Yesterday was St. George’s Day, Patron Saint of England!  I missed it!! Here is Miss Floof, defloofed!!!  She looks so much better and smells alot better too!  She was very good at her Spa and when she got home, after being out for necessary duties, got a Bonio biscuit!  I am busy trying to catch up with home jobs as I am so far behind.  In fact I have cancelled my haircut tomorrow to try and get on top of things.  One thing that does wind me up is when our home is in chaos, The old saying of “Tidy House, Tidy Mind” certainly applies to me! Off to get some more w ..read more

Mom says this is why I need a haircut and a long time at the Spa!!!  Because I can hardly see around my furs!! I am very woolly at the moment as you can see but I will be super skinny tomorrow although Mom says it is going to be cold so I will no doubt be shivering when I come home!!!! We all had a very busy Sunday and I spent the day helping Mom and Dad do the Spring Cleaning, which meant that I did not get any sleep all day.  Yesterday I spent the whole day in my basket next to Mom’s desk sleeping!  It is very hard working doing this Spring Cleaning. Mom wanted me to show ..read more

Last week was busy with work but I seem to have gotten behind with home jobs, partly because I am decluttering as well as trying to Spring Clean too!  At the weekend DH helped alot with the jobs and we got the back of our home done, ie the kitchen, laundry, downstairs bathroom and our den which is our office.  We started on the sitting room but only got three bookshelves cleaned but we did sort out the books too. We also got to see Eldest, Partner and Little Man on Saturday.  Do you know what, whenever we start a job something else happens which means we have to stop and sort so ..read more

It is with a heavy heart that we have learnt that Dear, Sweet Molly has crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.  I always say it is the very worst bit of having our wonderful fur babies, when they leave us and no matter how long they have been with us, it is always too short.  I originally found Molly’s Blog several years ago and like Sue we have had Airedales for years, my Grandfather used to breed them before 1939, so they were very much a family breed.  From reading Molly’s Blog we got to know her and Sue very well and although we are three thousand miles apart, great friends which ..read more

I was doing so well with posts and then I had to try and catch up with work and other jobs I had not got done whilst painting!!  The painting of the kitchen, laundry, downstairs bathroom and den are now done and I have also decluttered the den as well.  Just now need to spring clean them and put the pictures back up and I will be able to show you photographs!!! Today Is Book Club day and I wanted to show you the next book I am reading. Now you know that I re-read a lot of my books again and again, which I always say says a lot about my brain!  I do remember the story but not all ..read more

I realised when I had a lovely comment from Jo yesterday regarding my quilts that I have a few more to show you which I have not added to My Quilts page!  So as you know this is supposed to be a quilting blog but has turned over the years into yes Quilting but also my crazy life!  Anywho here are some quilts I have made but not shown you! This is Little Man’s first quilt I have made for him.  I just love the colours in this quilt and it is such a Boy quilt.  I got some lovely Christmas material a while ago which I did show you but I made them up for Christmas two years ..read more

Happy Sunday Everyone! DH is out all day today at a swimming event, so I have plans to sort the bookshelves today.  I probably should be doing a million and one other jobs, well I am going to be doing the laundry as that has not been done all week because we have been painting in there, so there is a bit of a backlog!!!  Yesterday was quite warm during the day and it is going to be the same today so I am going to open the windows and let some air in.  I don’t remember the last time I had the windows open as it has been so wet over the winter.  I really hope that this will b ..read more

AI (Artificial Intelligence) – a lot of things being written about it and how it could impact us and the World and even take over in the future à la “Terminator”.  However I am sure that they are taking over already.  Especially the machines in our home which nag me!  I bought a new washing machine and tumble dryer which have an app for your mobile.  SO when they have finished washing or drying you get a notification and if you don’t deal with it, it carries on messaging you!  The same goes for the dishwasher!  I mean I know you have finished the job you are doing ..read more

Sorry there has been a lack of posts over the last two weeks but it has been hectic, but what else is new. The week before Easter was busy with work and then DH had a meeting every night of that week so that meant it was busy in the evening too, trying to get things done.  I have done a few Spring Cleaning jobs, I got Youngest’s room done but it has been put on hold as DH and I were trying to get some decorating done too.  Anyway as this is a catch up Post it will be picture heavy!  Here to start with are some little man pictures of a growing boy! Good Friday DH was at the G ..read more

  After many weeks of ridiculous speculation by the media and people who really should have no opinion on the matter, The Princess of Wales issued a statement to say that after the surgery in January she was found to have cancer and was receiving treatment.  Obviously The Prince & Princess of Wales first priority is their young family and for The Princess to get as much rest and peace as possible.  DH and I also went through this terrible situation in 2001 when I, at 36, was diagnosed with breast cancer and our Boys were five and one.  This same form of cancer had kill ..read more
