Two Crafty Ladies

Have just spent a lovely few days at the Homestead with Mum, just doing our own thang.

After a stupidly stupid week involving cars that don't work well not enough for me to get back from the garage and get to work! (to most that would be a blessing, but to me was STRESS to the max)

Height of frustration, my evil internal twin sister who is a control freak couldn't cope with having to leave other people to do things for her (ok me)... needless to say I am eternally grateful to my friendly garage Church Avenue Garage Ltd (the garage were able to take my car in so quickly... however couldn't get the car back till Thursday afternoon...  I already had Friday booked off work, so luckily my boss was very understanding about the fact that I hadn't been at work for two days... and told me to enjoy my weekend....

I don't need to be told twice to do that... so off I off I trotted to Wales to visit the Mother-ship and Granddad!

Mum and I had managed to get rid of the Husbands for the weekend... Dad is off doing his Fly Fishing Days Out - Fish the Fly ... and my Husband spent the weekend on the Raindance Lo-To-No Budget Filmmaking Course.... Since appearing in this (as the bully) Martin wants to make his own films, Martin's Showreel

It was my Granddad's birthday in the week, and any self respecting 88 year old Granddad needs to have some fab cupcakes... so I got my work friends wife to make some fabulous Cowboy themed cupcakes for my Granddad,  and as you can see from the photos Elaine's Cupcake Kitchen did me proud!



As for Mum and I amongst pots of tea these are some of the things that we made this weekend!!!


 



Time to get back to London!
