Hello x Having had another lovely family weekend I have the Sunday blues big style!! The husband went to a 'dads club' on Saturday morning which gave me two blissful hours at home alone! and what did I do................ made more canvas's and mirrors! I am addicted to my work I think!
These have now been added to my Folksy shop and at £12 and £14 a bargain to be had!
Then today we have watched a film whilst Amelie napped (lovely snuggle time on the sofa!) and then went on a walk in our local woods where Amelie pointed and laughed at all the 'woof woof's' and squirrels!!! Then home for a cup of tea and a shepards pie -- yummy!!! So now you see why the sunday blues have made an appearance!
Welcome to my blog!

Cupcake craving!!!!!!!!!
Well I am sticking to the diet ... however I keep dreaming/thinking /salivating about chocolate cupcakes!!!! I feel that is this not normal and worry I have a cupcake fetish!? He He... I WILL RESIST, I WILL RESIST!!!!
Otherwise I have had a busy week of playdates with Amelie and trying to make some boys canvas's etc.... I find making girls things so easy, maybe because I am a girl and I have a little girl!!! Boys stuff just doesn't come naturally to me!!! But I think I have cracked it and come up with a nice boat design which I will post later to see what you think...
Amelie bear seems to be changing so quickly at the moment, every day she can do something new! Her favourite game is hiding behind her hands and playing peek a boo! Also FINALLY her hair seems to be growing...... so hopefully it wont be long till she has girly hair instead of being constantly mistaken for a boy....!! Love my little munchkin xx

I would just like to say a HUGE thank you to all my followers that have found me via Folksy... It is such a great community and everybody is always so supportive! Where would I be without my beloved FOLKSY!! xx
Diet update...
Just thought I would give you a quick update on my on-going holiday diet....... YAY!! I lost another 3lbs now totaling 8lbs!! So all this rabbit food is working! My husband has even commented how impressed he is with my dedication after I refused a square of my all time favourite chocolate (Lindt 70% orange)!!! So I think for the first time ever I may actually reach my target and be bikini ready by june!? Wishful thinking...?
Anyone else out there struggling on strict diet and missing there vices?

Fridays find.......... Petite Patanque, Southend
Having lived in Southend-on-sea for 2 years now I am always hunting out hidden gems and lovely places to visit... (it is not all tacky arcades and white stilettos honest!!) Petite Patanque is vintage style cafe set around a bowling green in a victorian conservation area, in the summer they set the chairs and tables out around the green and all the cream teas are served on vintage china. It really is a dream!!
Roll on summer time when me and Amelie can be ladies that lunch and meet other mummy friends there!!
