Default Flowery Friday's Thread

Good morning everyone, the sun's shining, the snowdrops, crocuses, daffs are out and the birds are singing and it's a beautiful morning.

(((Kelly))) hugs to you today, i know it's hard but keep calm, i found this for you, i hope it helps xxx http://www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/JCP/...07960.xml.html

I haven't got much on today, i lead a very boring life lol, just food shopping this morning and housework this afternoon. Well i say housework it's actually tidying up the pit that is the spare room.

Hope you all have a lovely day in the sunshine

Sunshine?? it's raining down 'ere in Dorset.

Have taken my car to the garage for repairs and they have given me a courtesy car. I always get tetchy when I drive a strange car but I managed to get it off the garage forecourt without disgracing myself!

I'm going to have a lazyish day, list some bits on ebay and some sewing.

xx

Mild and sunny here too but I'd swap it for wet Dorset any day Dimity

After yesterday's upset this morning has been quiet and uneventful (keeps everything crossed ) .... two sleeping babies one whose lumps and rash have almost disappeared .... I was extremely lucky with my four with the only hospital visits being for a swallowed penny and a few stitches so the allergic reaction came as a big shock and of course it was not only baby upset but my baby (his mum) upset too.

I'm hoping to get to Crafty Trundler's Handmade & Vintage fair in Northampton tomorrow but I've got the old chest weasel and a snotty nose .... if I dose myself up I should be OK.

Have a lovely weekend one and all.

Hello my lovely chirpy-chicks xxxxx

Spent ages just reading through your link SB. A bit miffed at what some people can get and others can't ??? but hey-ho ....
Glad to hear J is almost back to normal Lala xxx
Nice to hear about the baking smells Vicki, you've made me want to bake now

Still sorting through loads of fabric, it's wonderful
Also started a ball of wire, making hearts and wreathes, then the ball went all funny so I've been trying to use it up before it gets into even more mess. Want to get some Easter pressies made, and some button hearts for the wedding shop.
They've yet to see any of my stuff yet, I need to take some samples but I've got to make them first
DH has a *back to work* type thingy with the JC this afternoon so he's doing a CS run for me (taking not buying) and going to a different chemist to try to find rose oil for my stuffed hearts.
I'd like something that smells of violets too, like Devon Violets scent, can anyone recommend anything? It needs to be long lasting, like an essential oil.

BTW, it's still lovely here too, more washing on the line

Have a lovely day everyone xxxxxxx

ps. I forgot to say. DH got the nod about a new line starting at his last work place, has to phone again in 7-14 days.

hi all
dull and grey here this afternoon and i am moping around indoors after dropping a wooden bench on my foot yesterday (i had open shoes too) i don't think i've broken anything but its bruised and sore so some hand sewing for me today because i am sulking, and i realised i only have three brooches left and brooches seem to be my best seller in my blogshop.
thanks for reminding me about washing Vicki, I always leave it in the machine and forget to hang it up to dry so off to do that now!
have a lovely day all xxx

P.S i seem to have a thing about dropping things on my feet, a month or so ago I dropped a huge big old telly on my toe trying to help the BF move it out of his flat

Good Friday

I don't know what barkcloth is, but this seems like a bargain if I was a crafter

Dull here in the North after a sunny start. Have a good day all x
