Does your husband do this ?

My husband had some time off over the school holidays while I worked .

Each evening I have been given a detailed report on what housework he has done .

It is all done with melodramatic wipes of the brow and sighs .

Don't get me wrong I am grateful that things have been done

 but does he have to act so tortured as he's

 telling me how much he has accomplished .

Try doing it all after a full day of work buddy !

I'm just teasing him really and now

 he wants to know why I took a photo of him with the apron on .

I better go before I get caught !

I'd love to know if it's just a man thing .

I'd forgotten this one .

I sent this design into Express Publications a looong time ago ,

so long ago I had forgotten about it.

My copy of  Patchwork and Stitching v 11 no 2

arrived at my place the other day

and then I forgot to open it .

Just thought I'd tell you about it

before I forget !

Bonkers !

This is me .

Going steadily , steadily bonkers !

Don't worry I won't bore you with the details .

I think some soothing therapy is in order .

Tuesdays Treasures

You may be wondering how these beautiful flowers can be

part of Tuesday Treasures but these particular

 blooms are very special to me .

When I was a little one I became very ill

with glandular fever .

On one of my worst days my dear old dad came

 home from work with a bunch of daffodils just for me .

Not such a big deal some may think

but as I was one of eight

children I thought it was pretty amazing that one

 little person among so many could be made

to feel so special and loved .

My dad at the time was very ill himself

and he died a few years later .

I can never see daffodils without

 smiling and thinking of my wonderful dad .

Can't wait to see your treasures this week !

Yes I know it is still Monday but maybe it is

Tuesday somewhere !

The other reason I am doing this early as

I am flat out tomorrow and won't be

near a computer to do this post .

It also gives some new players a chance to

organise their treasure and add their link here .

I hope I have lots of blogs to visit tomorrow night

as I'll need some pleasant distractions after

the day I know I'm going to have tomorrow .

Have a Terrific Tuesday !

I do other crafty stuff , really I do .

Still school holidays here and with a house full of teenagers

 it is just easier not to try and do anything too serious.

I have become a little obsessed with crocheting this blanket and

 it's been getting dragged around with me just like a security blanket .

The beauty of doing something like this is I don't have to think just hook away merrily !

As I am also the teens taxi driver how do you think they'd react if I turned up in this beautiful wagon .

Bit of eye rollng I think !

Tuesday Treasures

Thanks so much to all who came to play last week .
Some of you made me laugh and some made me cry but I really enjoyed visiting and seeing your treasures , it was also  nice to see that the others players were stopping over for a visit too .
I have a funny feeling that this game is going to grow and if it does and there are lots and lots more treasures to see I will try my darnedest to visit all but I may not always be able to stop for a chat .
I do hope you understand and please don't think I am being rude .

My treasure for this Tuesday is this gorgeous sugar bowl .
This belonged to my grandmother Daisy who died when my mother was very young
and it seems to that this is all that remains of her stuff .
My mum had it out for "special occasions" and all of us kids loved it .
I especially loved it when I discovered I could climb on the bench
and get into the cupboard and stick my wet finger into the sugar bowl , gross child !
Now here's the good bit (well I think so ) this is not my grandmothers sugar bowl !
A few years ago I came across this one in a second hand shop and it is identical to the one my mother still has .
I have to tell you I was so excited to find one that I almost had a little accident in the shop!

Don't be shy add your link and show us your treasures .

Anything ?

Just a bit of reading ,

a bit of sewing ,

some cooking ,

some crocheting .

Not much of anything , how about you ?
