Down on the farm...

Oh my it seems like so long since I sat here to type up my goings on...well it all happened rather quickly and not without a little stress...the children and I have been away for a week. A little last minute which was great fun although it took some organisation. Last week was a special week in the year for me and my little family, it was the celebration of my children's birthdays...so with parties to organise, cakes to bake, and with the lack of interest from my Mom to join in the celebrations I felt that a change was as good as a rest. So with the money that would be spent on parties I took the children off to a cottage on an organic farm for the week. The children had the most amazing time, swimming everyday, lots of walking and best of all the first visit of the year to the beach...As for crafting...well its no surprise that not that much got done, I did manage to get out all my swaps in the post before I trundled off to the farm, I managed some knitting and even finished off one project. So today it is back to reality, the holiday is over and its time to get the laundry done and put on the line to blow dry on this bright spring day, tidy up and buy some food in whilst the children play with their new toys...Then we start a fresh week, time to sort the holiday photos out (all five hundred of them) and hopefully spend sometime in my sewing room...and of course catch up with the blogging, both writing my own (so much to share) and reading my favourites...Hey I missed you!!!

So glad you all had a great time on the farm, a good idea, much better than a house full of children running around screaming! How great to see jumbo eggs, I have noticed recently how small so called large eggs are nowadays? You were lucky to have had good weather for your drying today, down here in the South has been cold and wet! Maybe on your break away you had some time to think of some new craft projects? x

Glad you had a lovely time with your littlies - a much better way to spend a birthday than in some dreaded 'party venue'!!

Welcome back :)
