Morning
Sorry I have been just come to catch up, I promise I have not forgot about you all
Nothing much christmassy has been done here from where I was up to last week. Our wedding plans are coming along really well and today I am hoping to get a draft of our invite done so one of our friends can take it to his contact in printing to see how much they will cost. All being well i'm hoping they will print me my writing bits and then I will gather bridesmaids, my mum and any other helpers and we can put them together.

Hugs all round x

I think its because the house feels so empty when the kids go back to work, but also the mess of the weekend!!!!

I've been a little MIA and the task of reading back is daunting. So I'm not going to... haha. I hope everyone is well, and send much love to those who need it.

I don't remember if I told you about our special Christmas pressie from my aunt and uncle, IOU for a Chicken! Well we built their coop and got them . Introducing Mr Benedict and Miss Olivia and Miss Fried... My sister named Fried....




collected our 3rd egg this morning, they are so cute!! x

Oh PIXTOTTS they are beautiful, i am so jealous and i love their names, hope you get lots of lovely fresh eggs

Ooh Pixtotts, I too am very jealous. I really wanted chickens when we moved to this house - I had this vision of me having two or three rescued ex-battery hens but I don't think I could handle the reality because I'm such a wuss

newthrift it's lovely hearing your wedding plans, it makes me remember mine! I bought some special pearlescent card and a work colleague printed the words for me and I made the invites. I have a stamp that I used on the back of our invites saying 'Hand made by the bride and groom' - would it be of any use to you? It was a lie for us as DH didn't make them and it doesn't sound like yours is either, but it let people know that we didn't buy them them. If you can make use of it i'm happy to post it to you, I've been keeping hold of it as not sure what to do with it! Don't feel obliged though.

pixtotts love the chickens and their names! What fun. And how nice to eat such fresh eggs, they are always the best. We quite often go on cottage holidays in the UK and their always seems to be chickens clucking around, it's really lovely.

Aww, the chickens look super cute and lovely choice of names.

Lovely to be hearing your wedding planning new thrift

I'm still knitting edging, only another 11 ft to go! I think it will be a battle not to get bored and tempted by something else
