 a-squidgy-boo

into my Aunt Liliana’s work room (should I call it a stu­dio as most blog­gers do?).  She has 2 indus­trial sewing machines, a serger and var­i­ous other bits and bobs.  I’d love to have the space she has!

She also has this lit­tle guy– her grand­son Abe, isn’t he the cuties thing you’ve ever seen?!??!! 

Squidge thought he was pretty fab too.

While I was in the US last week I did a lit­tle shop­ping.  Most of the shop­ping involved get­ting equipped for our ski trip but I did man­age to stop in at Williams-Sonoma.  I picked up this lit­tle bad boy and I’m excited beyond words!!  I’m going to use it to make an apple pie Saturday.

Innit just the pur­di­est thing you ever did see??  My pure glee in this gad­get is a sure sign that I really am get­ting more and more domes­tic by the day!  I also picked up some sil­i­cone cup­cake cups– the ones with the silly feet are my favorites.


I’m look­ing for­ward to bak­ing w/ Squidge in a cou­ple of months. 

Yes­ter­day we went to Cheshire Oaks and they have some fab kitchen shops, includ­ing a Le Creuset shop.  I didn’t buy any­thing from there but I’m fairly cer­tain the staff had to mop up after my trail of drool– I could have done some seri­ous dam­age to my Wal’s credit card in there!





I felt the earth move

under my feet.  Well ok so I was in bed so it was more like my side but still, I DID feel the earth move!  We had an earth­quake here in England. 

Get­ting ready for easter–





Because

She hardly talks to me.  She won’t give me a good night hug.  She likes to read my blog.  She’s a cutie patootie.  When she was ikle she wouldn’t talk to me and wouldn’t even look at me!

Still I think she’s fab and I can’t wait until August… you bet­ter watch out Haley! 

I’m hop­ing these three will have a great time together at the beach.  Can you tell I’m excited and already count­ing down??!!





Love this kid!

I took this photo this afternoon- doesn’t she have a cute smile? 

I had a bit of a lay­over in Ams­ter­dam so I picked up what has to be the CHEESIEST gift ever– Clogs

As expected they were a big hit with Squidge!

There hasn’t been much going on in the craft­ing front.  This blog is sup­posed to fea­ture some of what I have been work­ing on but hon­estly I haven’t been doing much other than bak­ing and that’s not going well either. 

 I should have known it wasn’t going to end well when I had a hell of a time melt­ing the choco­late.  Does choco­late go bad?  I used a pack­age of choco­late chips that had been in the cup­board for over a year.

 

We ate a cou­ple but it wasn’t very nice so I chucked them in the bin.  My wrist still both­ers me so I haven’t been work­ing on my scarf much.  I have a few ideas float­ing around my head and will start work­ing on them when I get back from my ski trip.  Did I men­tion I’m going ski­ing?  Yep picked up Squidges ski out­fit yes­ter­day and just need a few more bits and bobs for myself.
