A Bit Of Some Feminine Touches

Good Evening All

Hope your all well...and the sun has been shining for you

today...its certainly been shining here...and

what a difference a bit of sun makes.

Line full of washing,housework done and dusted earlier

in the morning!

So while hubby was pottering about in the garage

with his motorbike!

I made this gorgeous(if i must say so..lol)

bunting...to hang in our bedroom,at first wasn't

sure where to put it...but its now hanging

on my new bed..yes new..its about 2weeks

old....and Ive been wanting a metal bed for years.

The bunting is made from tea towels(the rose & blue check fabric)

Yes tea towels....

from the famous bargain shop

B&M's...at just 1.99p for 2 towels.

Last weekend i also treated myself(hubby didn't have a say

in it..lol)to the gorgeous Rose Patchwork Duvet Set

from Argos at just £12.99...you can just see the pillows!

So as you can see...a bit of feminine touch in the bedroom!!!

Living with 3 males is hard..in our house its not football or Rugby

(Well Done To The Welsh Boys Today...Oggy Oggy!!)

its motorbikes,superbikes and rallying..so what do you

think...a bit of pink & floral??

Here is a close up of the bunting
I'd not even ironed it yet..couldn't wait to try it out..lol

Here are the tea towels from B&M Bargains

Also this afternoon we had to pick a few things up from the local

Sainsburys....and while walking round...a light bulb came on

and i remembered about this magazine the lovely Lynda - Hookin' With LaaLaa

Had mentioned about on her blog yesterday.

And i must agree with Lynda..its a great read..lots of projects in there

and you get these lovely free stamps...look at that cupcake stamp,and

the bunting stamp...as I'm a card maker as well....these stamps will

defo be used on lots of cards!!

Also walking from the checkouts on my way out

there was rows of shelves of reduced CD's,DVD's & Games

so noticing the big round orange stickers on the CD's

i couldn't help myself and stop to have a look..and i found

tucked away behind Take That,Boy zone...i find The POLICE

album..OMG..i just had to have it..got it on tape

and just love it....my fav has to be Message in the bottle..lol

So at just £3 i couldn't leave it there!

Right that's me off...fingers crossed for the lottery

good luck to all those that do it!!!

Happy Weekend Hugs Clare
