Time To Reach For The Cowboy Hat Again...

Welcome to a merry Hump of the Week.
Sometimes my hoarding pays off.
Two years I bought and made two cowboys outfits for Sports Relief.
It's come around again
So one son will be dressed up as 
 More craft supplies arrived...
 Then my nice coffee arrived...↓↓
Finished making two wreaths...
I own up to the fact,
I am not very good at making omelettes
The first two looked alright
At least my kids ate them.
The next two......
( I was losing the will....)
I had to hide the shame by Spinach
I will remember not to attempt  to make any more....
Hopefully my felt balls arrive tomorrow...

You Can Never Know When You Need It!

Welcome to the *Monday Feeling*
Everyone had a big 💋  before they left.
I looked out of the window..
 The white stuff still there!
I had to sort out my craft crap.
Four huge boxes.....
What was I going to find in there???
I found loads of ribbons...
 plus loads of loose ribbon.....
I found tonnes of....
 I even found some Italian wool I bought from the Hobbycraft show at the NEC in 2012.
A friend who I went with asked in 2013, if I still had the wool?
I replied "Yes".
"You should sell it if you are not using it!"
I tapped my nose, and said:
"You never know when you will need it!"
(Only a True Hoarder would say that ;))
To solve the problem with having all this lovely felt, 
I bought a book off Amazon....
 Looking forward to making things....
Time for chop chop...
Used up all the Quail eggs we bought Saturday...
Nice healthy stir fry to go with it.
I had a massive reading catch up with the newspapers from the weekend ....
With a little help from..
Back to playing with Kenny tomorrow!

It's Coming Back...

No chance of a lie in for me.
My wind chimes were banging together.
Downstairs for a cup of tea..↓↓


Listened to Sounds of the 60's....
My favorite song came on...
Turn it up up up Alexa↑↑↑
After I wrote out the shopping list,
Took a cup of tea up to a sleeping hubby.
As we are off to a Craft Event at the NEC tomorrow.
So shopping was being done today.
Once hubby and kids went to do the food shopping.
I made full use of a empty King Size Bed for an hour.
My Bake Off pack arrived...
 Now for coffee and read the latest Lidl mag for offers...↓↓
 When hubby came back,
It started to snow...
 Once its stopped.
Time for a ride out.... 
 Going to enjoy a walk about in here..↓
 Coffee time↓↓
 Newspaper and coffee↓
The snow is coming...⛄
 Gets back home....
Chop chop time.
Whips up....↓
 Pittas with beef, spinach, onions, black olives.
Then we watched countless episodes of
Bullseye from 1983 ↓
 They couldn't get rid of the star prize of the speed boat...
They were showing them until 7am tomorrow morning. We taped the rest, and finally torn ourselves from the television just after midnight.
Looked out of the window.....
The Beast From the East is back! ⛄☃
