Butterflies, Lady Bugs and Bubbles

Hi Everyone, not much going on this week. I am on a no solid food cleanse and as such not feeling so great. But stopping the jobs that are forever constant and hanging out with Amelia has been fabbo. Weve been blowing bubbles (that are chocolate scented just to tease me)

Catching a gizzillion lady bugs from a flower garden a couple blocks away when we walk Paris our Golden Labrador in the mornings, and

singing a verse of Hannah Montanas Caterpillar song to hail the butterflies and then scoop then into a net, followed by the bug catcher. I caught 4 yesterday but one got away when I tried to put it in the catcher because there were about 10 lady bugs breaking out cos the lid was off!!

What did you do to play today?

Perfecting My Woman Cave

Hi Everyone
Ive been a busy little beaver this morning. I am lucky enough to have a studio (sewing room) which you have seen pictures of previously. Completely overstuffed and out of control. I also have a second room, my office/study. I have my computer and books and all my papercrafts and stuff in there. Its also the room anything that piles up or needs sorting including all the mail gets dumped in. Well this morning I attcked it. Its the only room that has been painted since we moved in, dark pink bottom, light pink top and wood rail round the middle. I have 2 bookcases, a cupboard, table full length mirror, and all the toys bought on sale ready for birthdays and Christmas gifts. Theres also two other tables at the door and a filing cabinet and today I tackled them. I threw out a printer and photo printer and a box of paperwork. Then I tided all my stationary and supplies that were resaonably organised into a tower of 4 pretty pink boxes on the table space I made. I also unwrapped my new pink butterfly bin and put that on top of the filing cabinet with the router and my mini tupperware key ring chain collection. And now after three hours of nagging I am off to watch a movie with Amelia and make some more envelopes, and maybe redo a crochet headband that turned out all wrong on Saturday.

Movie Marathon

I hired and watched 3 overnight rentals all in one day. Something I have never done before. Truth be told I listened more than watching because I am still learning to crochet.

I saw

The ghosts of girlfriends past with Matthew McConaghuey

The Time Travellers Wife and

The Invention of Lying

The first one was ok but not something I would watch over and over. The second was a slow start and sad ending but fantastic concept and the third was a good idea but I didnt think it was well done, even a little on the boring side. But then maybe I was just over watching tele at that point.

What have you done lately that you've never done before?

Lady Bugs and Lingerie Bags

Amelia and I had a great day today. We walked the dog twice today and collected a half a dozen yellow and black lady beetles each time, which tickled the inside of Amelias hands all the way home. And I made a half a dozen white tricot lingerie bags. Yay. And a little work on some pincushions that need finishing, and still do!!! Its miserable cool and dreary weather but some of my pea seeds are shooting :))
Hope you had a great day
