Today i have had a quiet day, coffee with a friend and some crafty things....started my 2nd sock monkey and personalised my youngests santa sack.

boring...

Isnt it rather boring whenyou have nothing to blog about! Its been one of those days...the wee man still at home but hopefully back to playgroup with his little buddies tomorrow :) I did plan on starting another sock monkey this evening but time has ran away from me again. The oldest two want to have a go at making one themselves so perhaps that will be tomorrow after school fun.

Rather gutted to as just been trawling through my scrapping kits and i seem to have lost all my christmas & winter kits :( must have been when i was transferring them to the external hard drive grrrrrr.

More kiddie craft time.

Well i really had no need to feel strange yesterday as it turned out my youngest hasnt been very well today so no playgroup :(
