My week

Hello lovely bloggy friends ,i hope you are all well ,now isnt this picture just dreamy ,i took the photo yesterday in the cath kidston shop ,i went in for my weekly fix and drooled over all the new range
I spent a fortune in my head but as im really trying to watch the pennies and the children need things i left empty handed but full of inspitation,it really is a lovely shop to look round and dream over Imet my little sister ,or should i say younger as she towers above me,we met for coffee and went to this adorable little tea rooms where all the chairs are mismatched just the way i like them to be
On the walls are these lovely embroidery hoops showing different fabrics which were lovely and affective,we sat chatted about nothing in particular and giggled about silly things,drank coffee and ate cakes ,twas lovely
My treat was the new mollie makes magazine ,these pictures are adorable
Ahh eye candy Ive also been having a move around of my room again!!,you would be forgiven in thinking i either am totaly mad or have far too much time on my hands ,both i assure you are the case ,my new room just wasnt working so i redecorated my old room and moved back in there
Ive reorganized and rearranged
Ive also been catching up on a few homemakes ,my crochet blanket is coming on nicely
More patchwork
Well thankyou for stopping by to see me and for your lovely comments ,i now have a facebook page if you would like to see me there ,you can click on the lonk at the top of the page,much love francine x

  24. Ok, honestly. I have never seen such a cute house. I just saw your post and almost squealed. Now I feel giggly. When you hear someone knocking at the door, go answer it, because it will be me! Don't worry, I won't eat much or make a mess, or even both you! I'll just go into that lovely sewing room and never come out.
    Absolutely love this post and these pictures! I am hoping some of my friends have come to visit you, I'll tell more! Will be emailing you my address.
    Hugs,
    Julie

  25. Oh your post was just such a bright, cheerful lift this morning! It's cold and snowing outside and your pictures just made me so happy. Yesterday, I started making a 9 patch quilted potholder, with the hopes of graduating on to a quilt, and yours are JUST what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm so insprired.
