Well despite the wind that we have been having here over the last few day's, our Sweet Pea's are still standing! And as fast as I am picking, they are flowering again and again! </div>

But the smell is just amazing!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
Well I thought today as I have a day off work I would stop by and show you a peek at one of our latest products that we have, it has been such a long time since I have blogged that we now have a new range of Linen Cushions, Wooden letters and Lots of different Gift Tags now on sale!<br />
<br />
We have decided top stop buying goods from Wholesalers, you know, the stuff that you see in nearly every shop you go into, and concentrate on designing items that you would not find in any High Street store, a few of the items we have we do buy in already made as a blank canvas, but we then print on them to turn them in to something that is unique and very different.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

We have had requests for alternative colours and sizes as well which makes it very exciting doing bespoke orders for customers!!<br />
<br />
We are still busy adding new things to our web site but most of our items have been listed on <a href="http://www.andreafays.co.uk/">www.andreafays.co.uk</a> if we have talked about something on here that you do not see listed within our store let me know as it may just be a case that we have not got around yet to advertising for sale just yet!<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #999999;">Christmas is on it's way!!!!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Apologies if you would rather not discuss it just yet, but it really is, as of today, officially only <span style="color: red;">80</span> sleeps until Christmas!!!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I wanted to post this out for you all to see and gather some of your thoughts also, I made one of these last year for myself, and so many people commented on it that I thought that I would make some to sell this year, you will be able to read a little more about them <a href="http://www.andreafays.co.uk/store/Default.asp" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a>, they do take me a while to make, each fabric square is hand cut and then individually sewn on to a linen fabric backing, but my thought process behind it is that you can put just anything you want into each little pocket and this way steer away from chocolates and sweets should you prefer, my friend is going to be putting hairclips and bits and bobs in hers for her little girl, fab idea I thought! And the pockets are actually big enough to put a couple of bits in, so if you hade more than ond child they could share!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Our Caravan is coming along nicely too now, hmmnn now that winter is on its way lol!!!On Thursday I managed to get all 4 sets of curtains made, I have made them using the Cath Kidston Rosali Floral and Gingham fabric, so hopefully they will be put up this week-end, the trouble is because we stripped the caravan completley out when we first had her, we are having to replace everything, so I need to go and get some curtain rods this week-end to hang then with, pictures to follow!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">So, just a snippet of where we are so far with her, the shelf that sits above the worktop, obviously more prettiness will be added to the shelves, but I have not put too many accessories inside her for a minute with her needing to be moved about still for exterior work still being carried out,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">We live in an old house with a <em>very</em> large inglenook fireplace, which, when its lit it does look lovely on a cold winters evening, except because it is so large it does create <em>alot</em> of dust, and everything seems to just get covered in dust & soot after a period of time. These two had been sitting quite happily, I thought, at the bottom of our stairs, but whilst doing a bit of <em>late</em> spring cleaning the other day, I happened to pick them up and realised actually how dirty and dusty they really were, the label said to Sponge Clean them, but to be honest I dont think that would have done very much, they needed more like a good old scrub, so there was only one thing for them, the washing machine, yikes!! Breath held as I poured in the cleaning fluid, wondering what they were going to come out looking like after being spun around in the drum, I did put the machine on a 'Delicate' wash, oh well, fingers crossed I thought as in they went!!!</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">But actually I was quite surprised how they came out, I could actually do with putting them in a tumble drier on a cool cycle to get them back fluffy, but maybe by turning the hair dryer on them later will get the same sort of effect?!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">In the meantime they get to bask in this gorgeous sun!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">I just wanted to show you also the reason for me not being around lately....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<span style="color: #999999;">We have just been so busy with them, they can be found </span><a href="http://www.andreafays.co.uk/store/WsDefault.asp?One=40" target="_blank"><span style="color: magenta;">here</span></a><span style="color: magenta;">,</span> <span style="color: #999999;">I believe most of our customers are using them as Place Cards at their Wedding as they seem to be being purchased in bulk, which is a real honour to think that something we have created is being used as part of someone's special day! I guess thay are also quite handy to keep in a drawer so that you always have some tags spare should you need one to attach to a gift!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #999999;">Here is a pic of my grown up girl basking in the sunshine at the week-end, we heard some sad news at the week-end that her poor mum had to be put to sleep at the young age of 6, which is just awful, I know it is never easy when the time comes but at 6 you would like to think that they were still going to be part of your family for a few more years!</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: #999999;">Right, I am going to read my copy of this months Country Homes and Interiors next I think, I got bitten on my leg at the week-end by a nasty horse fly and my leg has swollen so much that I had to take a trip to the doctors yesterday and they have told me to completely rest it and keep it up high to help the swelling, it is quite nice actually not doing anything at all except rest, I don't get to do it very often, how long I can sit down and not do anything for though will be interesting, it sounds good for a short period of time, but then I get sooo bored! Hey Ho, lets hope its better tomorrow!</span></div>

I want to make one, just like this....It is a Wall Hanging, made from a piece of fabric and some stitching, and some flowers and leaves, simple? Hmmnn, I will let you know!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDiXz7dVky6XCitoXXIor_0EX-EdvAWYq-HN54neTUbqNvxjZo3IM9KQmZbA_Na33WSK6xuOeUuEO4nXpXJrJIWnQgZjm_3guyJEsaGU4ZRtSyKlaC8djeNqxl4lcqalVhlk40JmQsxM/s1600/Wallart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" rca="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMDiXz7dVky6XCitoXXIor_0EX-EdvAWYq-HN54neTUbqNvxjZo3IM9KQmZbA_Na33WSK6xuOeUuEO4nXpXJrJIWnQgZjm_3guyJEsaGU4ZRtSyKlaC8djeNqxl4lcqalVhlk40JmQsxM/s320/Wallart.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This one is made from a combination of silk flowers and stylised leaves and flower petals cut from fabric, all sewn onto a linen background, (the photo isn't great as I took a photo of the page of the magazine!) I saw this in the Country Living magazine back in May, although I have still not got around to making it, I think that I may use Crochet flowers actually instead of silk though, or maybe as well as, perhaps I <em>could</em> use both? Hmmn, I may have to pop in to Dunelm to have a look at their selection of artificial flowers. Luckily enough I made our Dining Room curtains using Linen fabric and have quite alot left over, so no excuse why I haven't got cracking with it really is there! If any of you fancy giving it a go let me know because I have the instructions for it here, although I think that it would be quite straight forward to make it up as you go really!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, when I do eventually get around to making it I will post some pics! I can't help but think to myself that here I am saying....oh, when I <em>do</em> get around to doing it, I end up questioning myself as to why I haven't done it today? Oh well, there is the week-end approaching, maybe <em>then</em> I will get to do it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't that it has stopped raining here again today, will we ever have a summer do you think? I really want to carry on decorating my little bean.....</div>

These are just a couple of pics that we took the day we bought her home, she has already started to look better now (these pictures to follow at another time!) that we have taken the stinky carpet out, <em>and</em> the cupboard which housed a load of mice droppings, I actually think it also doubled up as a Rabbit hutch because there were that many droppings in her, we literally had to roll the carpet up and bundle it in to the (husbands!) car and take it straight to the recycling yard! Yuk!</div>

I have also bought a roll of <em>really</em> pretty flowery wall paper that I intend to cover the little wardrobe with. I have also bought a Blue Spotty Flannelette duvet cover, (oh so cosy and soft) a floral cushion cover, some ditsy floral pictures to go on the walls, and, I have started to make some bunting to hang in her window, but I haven't actually set about this too seriously as of yet as I really want her to be completely painted first! </div>

So, any name suggestions for our little bean will be most welcome! I have some of the graphics which were left over from my car that I intend on using on the outside of the caravan as well so that whilst we are towing her the flowers flow beautifully from the car softly over on to the van! Ah!</div>

Moving swiftly on, Hubby has just called to say that he has left work and heading home, so best get off here now and make it look like I have been in the kitchen for <em>ages</em>, I think I will probably just throw some veg on the worktop, scatter some saucepans around, I could also, turn the meat on to cook so at least there is a smell coming from the kitchen when he walks in the front door, and I will just rush around abit and try and look <em>really busy</em>!! Do you think it will work? Oh well, two chances!! LOL!!</div>

And Crochet Coasters!Yesterday it poured down here and blew an absolute gale, the winds were so strong, in fact it was quite sad as looked what dropped out of the tree in our front garden....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4ijn65GURKB5OcbEtXHsi8DR0P-rKvlv2DZlCRcLrGp6QYez0C8KEufJotTU3HHCpXwaiJoBN_ZNvqpOcZ_Z-Ec3kQosBWwnS-znk-n37DFGKpw1AsKVyoPhb7I5bBgkAOB_JGP5fWI/s1600/Nest.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4ijn65GURKB5OcbEtXHsi8DR0P-rKvlv2DZlCRcLrGp6QYez0C8KEufJotTU3HHCpXwaiJoBN_ZNvqpOcZ_Z-Ec3kQosBWwnS-znk-n37DFGKpw1AsKVyoPhb7I5bBgkAOB_JGP5fWI/s320/Nest.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5751616714696993522" /></a><br /><br />I am not quite sure what to do with it really, I don't know how high up into the tree it was built, poor little mum, all that work in building it for it just to be shattered in seconds, the egg is broken and I can't find any trace of a little baby bird anywhere. Maybe I will just pop it back in to the tree so at least if mum does not come back to it, another birdie may use it next year!<br /><br />This weather is so typical given that I have had the week off, but it has at least given me the chance to re-build my web site, so that is a bonus! There is not very much stock listed at the moment, but at least the ground work in setting it up has been done. I have also got a few jobs finished which I had started (what seemed like months ago!)and then put back down and never got around to going back to finish them off, I have finally finished these ....<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Zh3R0ou0zmo/T9HafBplfOI/AAAAAAAAAuo/z-NZxgjWhttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifUiU/s1600/Crochetmats.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 202px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3TFeHCSrPn_OHAMON165Wcg8A71RIDh8uQ-KlPTv1Ns1_SSH3DN9UI9kafjGvwfV9YG_Ciqu0DyLxMAGAy-t8bDD2aq8t-UJ0WraDcZ1VuRSyPL8soMOWHj0KN5YlDaefvxG1SepwGEQ/s320/Crochetmats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5751618425682492642" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_pW4BOyXtGMcO_PWobnu7HiqWycnQ93pNXcw_3of4z7cyng8EUhm0tRCPs8eDSopKM02SNeDNw358yuV6ZnsQvKsWIFV2qQxfu5WmxrWGYPURaA08_k3lbsf9jRxTLPJ5CQnr5PL5210/s1600/Crochetmats2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 173px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_pW4BOyXtGMcO_PWobnu7HiqWycnQ93pNXcw_3of4z7cyng8EUhm0tRCPs8eDSopKM02SNeDNw358yuV6ZnsQvKsWIFV2qQxfu5WmxrWGYPURaA08_k3lbsf9jRxTLPJ5CQnr5PL5210/s320/Crochetmats2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5751618436180301026" /></a><br /><br />I LOVE them, they are meant to be Coasters, but what a shame it would be to actually use them and then a drop of drink spill on them?!

But boy was it painful, I think that if I had broken a bone it would have actually repaired itself quicker then what it did infact do, but hey ho, I have got now around 90% movement now so I am nearly there!!<br /><br />And during all of this pain and agony we moved house!! Oh, and in between that we had the huge amounts of Snow and so I was house bound for around two weeks as we could not get out of our lane, and as I was hardly able to walk on normal surfaces, there was no way that I was going to be able to make it outside with snow on the ground! <br /><br />But, doom and gloom over, we are now here in the warm month of May and settled in to our new home, and I have just had 12 days off from work, which was really needed, and things are looking good!!<br /><br />Guest bedroom has now been decorated, here is a corner of it.....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYoZtWZaPf4zkmLj3Nv9jRoPSu4jxIlOix0e5Rup92j_nOKzhz5uUe1M-pC5It7Vv43w203NK4MDt39nzNwpWwULwaf4pvuA-8w22jWK41LNEq60OibVQJiej_Q0SpU7SQ7cPC2A7Mvkw/s1600/Cornerofbedroom.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Rinse the mussels well, taking care to remove any hairy growths on the mussels, sand, and other dirt. You may find it necessary to scrub mussels with a stiff brush to remove debris. Throw out any mussels that are already opened that will not close, as uncooked mussels that stay open before being cooked are a sign of being bad. Mussels are best for cooking still alive, or frozen while still alive.<br /><br />•2<br />Mince the garlic for your mussels, and chop the onion. Fresh garlic will absolutely give the best results, but minced garlic out of a jar will also work well. Place both in a large pan with about a Tbs of butter over medium-high heat. Sautee until the onion is mostly translucent, stirring often. Add a few dashes cayenne pepper, or a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes.<br /><br />•3<br />Add wine to the pan, and stir well. Chardonnay is a good wine to use for this recipe, as the flavors go well together. While a good vintage wine will certainly give excellent results, any decent white, excluding sweeter wines like Riesling, will work just fine. Let wine mixture heat through for a few minutes to properly incorporate the flavors.<br /><br />•4<br />Add mussels to the garlic wine sauce, stir mussels to coat well, and cover to let mussels steam for about 5 minutes. Uncover, and stir mussels again. Repeat this process until the vast majority of your mussels are open. Any cooked mussels that do not open are bad, discard those. You will be cooking mussels for about ten to fifteen minutes total.<br /><br />•5<br />To serve your mussels, place mussels shell and all into bowls, or over a bed of pasta. Ladle several spoonfuls of garlic wine sauce over mussels and / or pasta. Garnish mussels with chopped fresh parsley. You can use either appetizer forks or just your fingers to get the mussel meat loose from shells, and a good crusty bread will ensure you don't miss a drop of the fantastic garlic wine sauce.<br /><br />Well did I have the shock of my life whilst doing a spot of weeding the other day....<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleG7OdIEwzTCKoS-g-AsvthECLSORztxLyFWmpcLBMjYOXBJqMUsCOHvaHivFDF3zHaOOaRLbMQeJ-_1ydpSsoyyGB0dvMcaPTW5fGwwlDsNvFRk7yp0Khd7rFWkHjb9HkN-6FKUjbX0/s1600/Toad2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleG7OdIEwzTCKoS-g-AsvthECLSORztxLyFWmpcLBMjYOXBJqMUsCOHvaHivFDF3zHaOOaRLbMQeJ-_1ydpSsoyyGB0dvMcaPTW5fGwwlDsNvFRk7yp0Khd7rFWkHjb9HkN-6FKUjbX0/s320/Toad2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5536908619374835010" /></a><br /><br />Why is it that we are humongous compared to them but they scare us to death?

Well, hubby happened to mention that he was surprised that I had not called the owner, explaining that I felt that it was too far to travel given that as we had sooo much going on at the week-end, also testing the water if you know what I mean?! However, to my surprise, he continued with the topic of conversation later that evening, and eventually persuaded me to email the owner just out of curiosity to see if she was still available.<br /><br />To our surprise, she was!!!! And we could go and see her first thing on Sunday morning!!! So, off to bed we went for an early start on Sunday morning, 6.00am on a Sunday morning is not a good time for me, especially after a few glasses of Rose' the previous evening and I did think for all of, lets see, 10 seconds, was I mad????<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObL_rH7AAP70kEn5PB3oN4OVe8zqK9PxUpf9t__4ui0LDDMgG2On_yutPHaD70AoWC1domDNMahGO-yAoTE8UhDWe-UX1sBNAJpADP8KG4l9f_RITbjkqGSAg5wYdWr2NqOhPB7kWZPk/s1600-h/P1000404.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 242px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiObL_rH7AAP70kEn5PB3oN4OVe8zqK9PxUpf9t__4ui0LDDMgG2On_yutPHaD70AoWC1domDNMahGO-yAoTE8UhDWe-UX1sBNAJpADP8KG4l9f_RITbjkqGSAg5wYdWr2NqOhPB7kWZPk/s320/P1000404.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5448880784182543362" /></a><br /><br />I was not mad!!

It is not something that we had planned to do, but a friend of mine at work bought in her holiday pics of when she and her partner went camping, rivers, woods, barbeques, picnics, all the gorgeous scenery, well it got me thinking that I too wanted to do the whole camping experience again, hubby used to love it but I am a bit of a home bird really and never really look to it, I think that it was because once when we went to the Run To The Sun event in Newquay we had a lodger in the front of our tent for the night, un-known to us until I could feel something leaning against my leg and we realised that this young man had thought that our tent was his and had come in and gone to sleep with us!!!! Yikes!!! Put me off for a long time I can tell you!!!<br /><br />Anyhow, I am not going to show you piccies of the mean machine just yet, we collected it from a farm so you can imagine the colour of the outside of it, not that the inside is much better!! So it needs a good scrub down and then I will let you take a sneak preview!! <br /><br />We took a while to find one that we wanted because I did not want a modern one, I wanted a Retro/Vintage one with lots of charm....Oh it certainly has charm at the moment with hay and straw hanging out of it!!!<br /><br />This one inspired me too <a href="http://myvintageparty.blogspot.com/search/label/vintage%20caravan">My Vintage Party</a> You should pop over and take a look, Laura has been so helpful and advising me as to the best paint for me to use inside of my caravan.<br /><br />Do you like this little lady? She is really a doorstop, but my kitchen floor tends to get quite dirty sometimes with the dog coming in and out of the garden and I did not have the heart to plonk her down on the floor so instead I have sat her in our stair case, she is nice to pass when you are going up and down the stairs.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2B4o9phl8G282h9S4waZTxYJPGt6CUjQqQu-THCv90FUA4NjIrrPqC_0RE84BLjtiG5C660wsexbNLctED0xSmMaL0k6z1eL0JCoG6vY2bRZbKjabHZQu4zzvULcoX_J67rBNdoCyqE/s1600-h/Doll.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 292px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2B4o9phl8G282h9S4waZTxYJPGt6CUjQqQu-THCv90FUA4NjIrrPqC_0RE84BLjtiG5C660wsexbNLctED0xSmMaL0k6z1eL0JCoG6vY2bRZbKjabHZQu4zzvULcoX_J67rBNdoCyqE/s320/Doll.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432868622948212002" /></a><br /><br />Yes, your muddy feet I am talking about!!!!!....................<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2pJcS1U4nDHq2Mxu9YOTzBbFQg3UGtpKgPKzlP41HwBDDWomGQhJlYRdM8IL94EYrmh5vS9iA25ArM4Wz8HaA1fJCmAAf5GRizNgjbs2yalumQQgBw5YeU74CrlbFXz1yoysV1ZtpDdA/s1600-h/Henry.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2pJcS1U4nDHq2Mxu9YOTzBbFQg3UGtpKgPKzlP41HwBDDWomGQhJlYRdM8IL94EYrmh5vS9iA25ArM4Wz8HaA1fJCmAAf5GRizNgjbs2yalumQQgBw5YeU74CrlbFXz1yoysV1ZtpDdA/s320/Henry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5432869723564190674" /></a><br /><br />Anyway must go, floors to wash, bathroom to clean, fabric to cut ready for my new bedroom curtains, and all before I return back to work tomorrow...Oh Joy!!!!<br /><br />Enjoy the remainder of your week-ends,<br />Andrea<br />xxAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10629566454864923909noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6559585074385415681.post-86388133072035898892010-01-21T21:12:00.014+00:002010-04-12T21:58:56.549+01:00Valentines Day Soon!!!!!A new photo of our Valentines Red Wooden Hearts......<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdRqRq5uLfk_LvIcZunhVwXv-BYykBn1trNVUGRChdozJ4cP89MbSjGkuUK8Kzl2vFyWVOcBcXwsJlNS92eKBcOi9qSs44aum4KIoQCGGLDqtdOzQ9_vXLYz9aE95oVAd7TVu94eOS88/s1600-h/RedHearts.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfdRqRq5uLfk_LvIcZunhVwXv-BYykBn1trNVUGRChdozJ4cP89MbSjGkuUK8Kzl2vFyWVOcBcXwsJlNS92eKBcOi9qSs44aum4KIoQCGGLDqtdOzQ9_vXLYz9aE95oVAd7TVu94eOS88/s320/RedHearts.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5429304473761569906" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140370878360&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT">Red Hearts</a><br /><br />If you click on the link above it will take you through to where you can buy these should you not be able resist!!!<br /><br />Great for grouping together, using individually as Gift Tags, hanging one or two from a kitchen door handle....the ideas are endless!!!!

We even watched Jamie Oliver today on the television cooking some BBQ food, oh, it soooo made us wanted to get the BBQ out and go and attempt what he had been cooking, however I did manage to persuade hubby to hang on just a couple of more weeks, he is more keen than I am to get out in the garden!! This time of year I think that you just feel like you need to dust off the cobwebs, draw back the curtains and put the remote controls to bed for a while and get outside, we do tend to <span style="font-style:italic;">move outside</span> once the nicer weather is here, but I personally think that we have a week or two yet to wait....but it is on it's way!!!!<br /><br />Anyway, "HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL"!!!!, we have had a lovely break, 11 days off work, how cool is that.....hence me dropping by to say hi to you all, I never find the time what with working full time now, doesn't it just get in the way of everything?! I know that the money helps, goodness I know that we certainly could not spend like we do if I didn't work full time, and I think that sometimes you just have to keep reminding yourself of that otherwise I would go mad, some mornings it just feels a little like Ground Hog Day!!!
