4 years...

I thought I would quickly post this as today is my 4th wedding anniversary! Sometimes it feels like it's gone in a blink of an eye...and sometimes it feels like we've been together for 40years.  There's adventures around every corner...but this last year we have seen the biggest change in our life as we had our little man who was born Christmas Eve 2011 (known as the nephew who stole Christmas...!). 
We have held strong throughout the dramatic changes and we are still growing together (...admittedly with a few sleep deprived nagging sessions initated by myself...!). 

I thought I would post the delightful card given to me by my husband.  It speaks volumes and I shall tell the tale...

One anniversary a long time ago my husband got me a card...it was a card with a cartoon cat holding a bunch of roses and it looked like it might've cost 99p from the local garage.  I hated it...and was vocal about the awful-ness of the card! I did appreciate him getting me a card...but one with a cartoon cat of garage quality...no thank-you! So ever since I have been plagued with cards adorned with cats!!!!  This one is especially cute in his little knitted jumper...and had the best message written inside (it was a blank card so some imaginationg was also required!)...

"Dear Nay Nay, Happy Anniversary! Thank you for 4 amazing years of marriage (well they would be amazing if you were married to me lol!). Lots of Love xxxx PS You can't escape the cat..."

I chuckled inside and it was the most heartfelt card I have been given from him...it made me smile...a lot...

Love from me and my little man x

Setting Up....

So here I am...!

Two new skills starting to establish...Sewing and Blogging! Needless to say I need quite a lot of practice in both areas, but we only learn from our mistakes...(I've bought a seam ripper for my sewing mistakes...)!

My dearest sister (aderyndu.blogspot.com) has been crafting for years...and I have been the recipient for the majority of her makes, so she has encouraged me to give it a go.  The fact that John Lewis had the most gorgeous machines on the shelves did encourage me a little further ...so my birthday money from husband and my mother was spent lavishly on my little (rather mini compared to my sisters beast!) but utterly gorgeous machine.  I haven't decided on a name for her yet....

She's a bit gorgeous isn't she?!!

Little Blue...
Lavendar...
Bertie...
Phoebe....

What do you think....?!


 

So I got her home...and she needed a new home.  I've been struggling with use of my mini conservatory for a while, so why not try as my sewing/hobby room.

The gorgeous throw on my sofa is one created by my sister for me...having started some projects I now have even more appreciation for the time and energy that's gone into making it!  It's by far my favourite make of hers yet!




A few pretty things bought (pretty but surely essential for sewing jobs)!

So she has a home...and I have a new home...and so we are off!



Love from me and my little man x
