Back to it!!

Had the most amazing 3 weeks in Chicago, staying with good friends and seeing the sights, chilling and taking it all in. Back to life with a big BUMP!....like we never left. Lots of new projects....exciting times!

At last!

At last I'm back on the blog....been so busy, just haven't had the time. Anyway, finished the doodle giveaway for the lovely Lauren in the US. Been making top hats, telephones, more doodles, and generally enjoying the APPALLING summer weather we have been having. It has felt as though the monsoons have hit at times!

Giveaway winner!

Long time, no post. The winner for the "doodle" giveaway is Lauren Wenchel from Maryland, USA. Thanks to the lovely Katherine at kathblack.blogspot.com. Will be winging it's way to her soon! 

ooh I'm blushing!

Fab to be doing a doodle giveaway with the fabulous Katherine at kathblack.blogspot.com, (follow this link). Her and outblush.com are current fans, whoopee!

Holidays are here

The summer holidays have arrived! Fabulous....and fabulous weather too. Headed straight to the beach with the munchkins the day they broke up. So hot, the dog dug a hole in the sand he could sit in to stay cool!  Virtually unheard of in this part of the world. It was great to sit in the sun with my book and just chill. The next 7 weeks will now be a huge juggling act. Work busy and loads to get on with and coming up later in the year. Spent Sunday in Edinburgh city centre at the Grassmarket. Lovely sunny day (after the initial soaking when I got there - typical!!), music playing, people dancing, drinking, browsing the stalls and generally having a great time. Good to see so many tourists milling about enjoying this great town. 

Ouch!

Ran the Edinburgh Race for Life 10K yesterday. I hadn't really trained for it, so did power walk a chunk. Good fun, misty, foggy, yuk day, which is perfect for getting hot and sweaty, as it keeps you cooler. Legs lickle bit sore today though....that'll teach me! Back to Hat's for a shower and lunch - she also ran, and breezed through, as she HAD trained! Cutting and sewing a load of bunting for a July event, and also working on orders and getting ready for the Grassmarket this Sunday. 

summer?!

It's so fabulous to get decent weather -  we can never depend on it in this part of the world. Sports day at school was a scorcher-amazing. Tonight, whilst I had a free hour - boys at school play and scout sausage/sizzle/walk, finished "Charlie", doodle for a local client. Sky ominous again, beautiful day, but that weird "haaar", that seems to sit on us at night and clear at midday the next day.
