Hearts and flowers

It's a simple activity, I lay out a heart-shaped tray of ice cubes, a muffin tin and a tea towel. Together J and I pop the hearts out and he fills up the muffin tin, then puts them back in the heart tray. And then back again, making a couple of puddles on the floor!

And all four of us walked to the top of the hill at Blaise to find the folly open and so we walked up, up, up. Sadly, the photos from up there are rubbish... BUT once we got to the bottom, J went a-runnin' and noticed some yellow flowers. We naturally began collecting them, as you see. 

Day 123/2

Just took a few minutes to do some stamping.

Day 59/2

The first fruits of today's paper crafty endeavours... I'm trying to get a bit of a head start on Passover (including getting my head in the right gear), as I think our baby's arrival might rearrange priorities! So, this is a huge, cardboard heart covered in red wrap and then glued. The heart is then stuck onto orange card replete with verses about love. At the end of the day, that's what Passover - in fact anything God does - is about... Love. 

And here's a more all-encompassing view, including all the books, paper etc on the table oops!

Day 52/2

I attempted a little baking today.

Day 51/2

I found a sweet heart bunting idea on Pinterest; using paint swatches, punch hearts and stitch them together. My hearts were a little too small, plus I prefer these cut out versions. So, I sat this afternoon stitching them together then wrapped them around a kitchen roll tube, awaiting the sweet bunting's moment. A bunting tree, of sorts.

Day 50/2

Just borrowed some heart punches...

Day 247

You know how it goes, you pop into Ikea to buy a photo frame. They don't have the frame, but they do have lots of other little bits and bobs.... Here are some mini-photo frames, the ones at the back are magnetic.

Day 22

Arise, shine, bake some muffins and get on with your day! 

(PS - Happy birthday, my dear Z xx)

Day 21

 All of my photo plans were derailed today, so I looked around and found something pretty and precious, given to me a few years ago. For some reason, I really liked this one so here it is... but just in case you want to see the whole thing, here it is!
