flo or floyd one has to go :(

                            who now has to go ?

well lets start from the begining this is my little flo with my little brother bear

but this little chick has grown and has now tuned into this ..........

flo is the hen on the right, but thats what we all thought at the time because recently we have been hearing strange noises coming from the end of the garden. those strange noises sounded a bit like a cock-a-doodle-doo. but this poor little fella has to go because we dont want him causing trouble as he is starting to get a full cock-a-doodle-do , if only he was a she.

but dont worry he isnt going in the oven he will be going to a loving new home were there are lots of hens. He will be moving wednesday night because he will be more settled then.

But as breakfast is apon us i have to go for now goodbye x

long time no speak

well i havent blogged for a while but juring this time i have been thinking about what my next make should be i have thought about making a pin cushion out of felt in a circular shape also i was thinking about making some key chains with a loved ones name stiched onto it all i need to no now is what do you think about this x

my mosaic is finally complete

at the end of all the hard work my mosaic hearts are finally done. it was quite hard to get all of the mosaic pieces in the right places and have a little gap ( 1-2 mm) inbetween each mosaic square once you had stuck all of the pieces on you had to mix cement and water together and spread it on, then after 45 mins you had to scrape the remaining cement of, then gently in a circuar motion with a sponge and water clean it so its all shiny. well have a look at it then.....

i could of done a bit better, but its my first attempt and i think i have done quite well my brother got a ladybird one so i shall blog about that to.

oh is it 2012 already

well well well 2012 already were has the time gone, my mum is trying to start embroidery and iam going to start making bits with felt. once i make something i will blog about it. i am also thinking about doing abit more cooking so see you soon x

a clucking new arrival

For days we have been waiting for two little arrivals to pop out of there shells and say hello, and this morning at 6:30am before my mum went to work, we ran down the end of our garden hoping someone will be there cheeping away. No one was there but a little crack in the egg shell was, at first i thought its adopted mum mabel had steped on the egg and cracked it but then i realised this little chick was hatching

                                                

mabel the bigger hen is such a good mum making sure the chick was warm so it doesnt die.

Also it was camerons birthday so it was a nice little present for him, the other presents he got were a harry potter deathly hallows part two ds game a watch for school with gadgets on and a family tree book so i hope he had a good day. also we need names for the chick so if you have any ideas just say
