I have decided to sign up to Jeska's Pay it Forward, and I am really excited thinking about what I might receive from Jeska (check out her gorgeous inspirational blog), and also what I am going to send to 3 of my lucky readers!! So, if you want to join in the fun:
I will send a handmade gift to the first 3 people who leave a comment on my blog requesting to join this PIF exchange. I don’t know what that gift will be yet and you may not receive it tomorrow or next week, but you will receive it within 365 days, that is my promise! The only thing you have to do in return is pay it forward by making the same promise on your blog.
If you wish to participate please leave me a comment and copy the above paragraph and paste it into your next post. Btw, this is not open to my family!!
Yesterday didn't quite go as planned as we had to take Bodie to the vet in the morning. He has been off his food since eating a pencil sharpener on Friday. We were hoping it would take it's natural course (in the same way the Hama Beads, bits of foil, tissues etc do!). However, no luck and he is still moping and not eating. The vet gave us some anti-inflammatory pills, so hopefully they will work and he won't have to have it removed. We took him for a walk and the paddling and bird-watching seemed to cheer him up!
I have been sewing all day on and off as the girls have been engrossed in games and Sylvanian Families. I had heaps of plans for things we could do together, but they chose to play. So, hurrah, I managed to get quite a bit done, and am not going to lose quite as much sleep tonight as previously!! I am also getting closer to being able to share my exciting business news with you, so watch this space!
Sorry for the lack of interesting photos recently. I did try to take some just now, but as it is already dark they were rubbish. I'll try to be better organised and get some more inspiring photos taken tomorrow, although I may have a sore head as I am off to my friend Elaine's house with some other friends to celebrate her birthday. Her hubby is away and she is cooking dinner for us instead...she's a great cook, and the diet may just have to take a turn for the worse this week!
Btw, any top tips as to where I can get canned pumpkin, other than Waitrose (they've sold out)? Sainsburys didn't have it either. I do have some pumpkins at the allotment but don't know quite how to turn them into the stuff for pie. Do you just steam the pumpkin flesh and puree it to make an alternative? All help gratefully received.
