Shibby Shabby Shuffle Muffle

Heehee! In a playful mood today!
I saw my bestie buddy's new blog post today and thought like her I'd follow suit with a silly post title!!

I had a little blogland wander yesterday (and today while I should have been cleaning..) and came across a few Lovely little blogs, and one of them, Country Rose has a GORGEOUS giveaway! I can but only hope that perhaps I'll win such lovely goodies, but I never tend to win anything! So hopes are not too high, but OH! how lovely the things are! i want them!!

I haven't got much to blog about this week. Things are Hectic with the boys out of school and all with step-son home from Uni. The student in us all is coming out and I'm struggling to be bothered to get anything done!!!
I did however, completely tidy out my craft room and even managed to make it All Mine! Finally! Gone are Hubby's banished ornaments of little jousting knights, and tankards, and manly type things he liked to keep on display out there (because it was all too ugly to keep in the house!) unfortunately for me, its gone upstairs, on the landing, along with the bookcase (which looks better up there) so I have to walk past it all everyday, but its a small sacrifice to be able to have all my own 'room' (its the conservatory,click HERE for a post on it when I first established it last year as my semi-craft room) and I have TWO desks, my original one and now our old dining table, as my Sewing desk. I'm not showing photo's of it yet as I haven't had the shelves up yet and its not completely finished as yet. But I surely am looking forward to having a good crafty session in there soon (not going to be this week though sadly)


At the weekend, we went to my Niece's wedding, well, Hubby's Niece (so that makes her my niece too right?!) it was a Lovely wedding. I didn't get hardly any photos as Hubby and I were helping out and couldn't stick around for the pics, and also they specifically requested that any photo's of the wedding not be posted on any social network sites etc, so to be on the safe side, I'll not include them..here's me though!...

                                              Only one glass was mine!! Honest!!


 The skirt i was wearing is my new favourite skirt, so Floaty and a soft peachy pale blush colour...no nice photo's of that either!! Anyway, I loved it and swooshed and swoshed around in it, only to discover a 12 year old girl was also wearing it...i think she was a bit more Mortified than me!!!! That's what I get for shopping in H&M!
                                                                Me ^                          ^ Mortified 12yr old!
It was a really lovely wedding though, and they are such a sweet and happy couple.

On Sunday, we went to a friends Tea Party, just the thing I needed after the late night we'd had.
It was held in a cute little village hall, and it was such an enjoyable afternoon. Sunny and warm, lots of happy, friendly people, quite idealic!




LOVE this bunting!! No one knew where it was from! but had gorgeous little bird patterns on it, 

my little boy's plate! chosen by himself from the buffet table

(my goodness, that blanket goes everywhere with us now! a family Staple!)



Today, I tried to keep the boys busy, we built a little tent in the garden..








Take Care
Love Em Xx 

p.s For those reading this and then the comments and wondering what some are on about, i have since edited and removed some photo's and comments. Sorry.

Hi Emma!
First, you look so fabulous! That dress really is beautiful and you "worked it" better than a 12 year old, I'm sure!
Second, your conservatory looks amazing. I went back and read that other post. The light in there has to be amazing...even though you live in England! Just kidding...I know the sun comes out occassionally!
I love all your pictures and your kids look super sweet!

Take care and thanks for stopping by my spot...I do hope you give the image thing a try!

Hey Em!
You make me laugh!! ha ha.
Well done for getting your own little space..you should see what mine looks like at the moment. Such a MESS!!! ha ha.

Your dress was really pretty that you wore to the wedding!

That bunting at the tea room reminds me of this one I saw here:

Maybe it is from there!

Jess looks beautiful with blonde hair!! when did she dye it? The last time I saw her,she had dark hair, but the blonde is stunning on her! please tell her for me. Her boyf looks cute! hee hee...aaahh young love...those were the days! {actually I must say, it's much better now than when we were dating!)

The tent is so cute...tell me about that crohet blanket??!!Did you make it??? have you been hiding something? ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
(hee hee)

I had to laugh at Sams face compared to Bobs!! hilarious!

YOU ARE NAUGHTY!!! you know how I hate suspense!!! what is the little prospect!!??!!!

Here are my guesses:

1) singing with kylie Minogue
2) You have been commissioned to make some crocheted blankets for someone.
3) You have been invited to take part in NASA's next space launch.
4) You are going to be selling craft goodies somewhere...

Okay I give up!!
TELL!!!¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬

Loved the photos of the boys Em, it's amazing how similar they look to Bob's and your Dad's photos!

Was that crochet blanket the one I started when I was 18?? Or have you secretly made one just like it lol

Mmm.....Bonnie came quite close in one of her guesses hee hee! Glad I'm priviledge to KNOW what it is!!! lol

Looking forward to our day out on thursday.
