Nannie's froggies

Yes I am a Nanna! I became one at the grand age of  39!  My grandaughter loves looking for frogs in my garden.

So, inspired by her love of all things froggy...

they jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool...

you've probably guessed, I use this in school

I've also included a factual book about frogs, photos and a jigsaw puzzle.

Happy New Year

Hope you had a good holiday - back to it all now...a few ideas in the pipeline but...
New Year's Resolution..after doing my accounts...
DO NOT BUY ANY MORE FABRIC/STUFF UNTIL YOU HAVE USED UP OTHER STUFF!!
Anyone who loves patterns and fabric like me, is probably in the same boat. But you never know when it comes in handy.

Did someone say I liked chickens?

Christmas gifts.

My eldest daughter surprised  me with these goodies...

Chicken gifts, keeping the Herbie hens company..

Have I ever told you that I know how to hypnotise a chicken?  Yes, really I can!

My dad kept chickens when I was little.

Run, run as fast as you can..

to catch that bus!

to take you straight to Marks and Spencers for surely the must have tin of the year!

Oh my!  Santa did read my blog!

The pink gorgeous tin was bought at Carluccio's restaurant store at Bicester village, filled with yummy cherry liquers - a  gift from my youngest daughter

as well as this fascinating book- I really have been lost in this over the holidays.  I feel a quilt coming on!
