Stuck for a title ..lol

Hi every body :)
well I have sat here trying to think of a witty title for today's post and nada, zilch, nothing sooooo there isn't one hehehehe ....
I've been shopping so there are plenty of choccie biccies to go round today along with the usual tea and coffee so grab a mug, pull up a chair and we shall  begin ;)
those wee blue flowers in my hay basket are called Lithodora heavenly blue  while I remember ...lol 
The weather at the mouse house has been very changeable and has gone from washing hung out and drying outside to being on the radiators inside as we have had one extreme to the other including a hail stone storm .... I know we are not having it  as bad as some but I do wish the weather would make up its mind ...lol 


The trouble with doing secret stitching for folks is you haven't got a lot to show folks for the long awaited blog posts hehehehe..... I have finished the one for Catherine  as the tusal winner but need to finish the box to put it in .... hopefully will get that a bit further on tonight or tomorrow :)
I'm about half way mark on DJ's stitching and I am loving stitching on this one :0 once its done she can see it and decide how she wants me to finish it :)
I've worked on Needles by Cherrywood  designs each week when we have gone to Bev's for stitching night with the Barnsley Babes as we have been nicknamed ...lol and yes she baked some more yummies :) I showed Bev how to do spider web roses for the second  part of my Band sampler .... every one is really enjoying doing this on the group and the colours that they have  picked are all lovely ... I would be hard pressed to say which I liked best :)
and I've worked on the Sal "Summer Splendor" by LHN with Sally  on Wednesday night and I am really pleased at how much I got done in between all the yackking ;) in fact I was giggling at my copy as the chart actually says "Summer spendor" .....


On Saturday Kath , Chris and Bev and I went to Bakewell for the day with me driving the mouse mobeal .... the weather wasn't particularly warm to say the least but with a chip buttie and a cuppa to fortify us after we had been shopping at the Wye Needlecraft shop there .... we went for a walk round and found some lovely shops and the odd bargain .... I found a scissor frog for Ally finally so she shall have one now too :) and there were some "real statues" raising money for some cause and I managed to get a lovely photo of them for you :)
the drive home was fun as following the signs we nearly ended back on the route to Bakewell again hehehehe ..... I didn't buy any real Bakewell  tarts much to DD1's disgust but at £5.00 for a large one that wouldn't have done  two of them really, I wasn't going to splash out. I did how ever have a wee splash out on stash ..... no where near as much as the others either ..... felt positively angelic on that score ....lol 
I got some thread there too  to start a birthday prezzie for some one who's birthday is quite soon and I am hoping to get it done on time paws crossed ;)


Yesterday was a rare day when DH and I actually had time free soo we decided to tidy up the back garden and plant some potatoes in pots and tubs before the rain fell again .... it was lovely to get most of the small garden weeded and sorted ..... he did the heavy work , I did the raised beds ....  there is still  a bit to do along with the front garden but that will have to wait until it is a bit warmer .....
I went to visit my friend Carole the other day and her pheasant "Phil" popped into see us  with his partner and luckily I had my camera on me to take some photos for you :)


Ok I have popped the kettle on again for you while I upload the photos for you to nosy at ...lol
