Its been a busy few days!

I haven't been around or crafting for the last few days as we have been really busy getting ready for the weekend. Me and the girls support my lovely hubby in one of his hobbies - 17th century battle re-enactment. There was a small living history do this weekend so I have been making the girls new costumes for it due to a growth spurt! I have been maning to make Ellie a new dress for weeks, but I sew better under pressure!

We did the living history event and fortunately the weather was good - its not much fun sitting in a canvas tent in the rain!! The girls enjoyed it and managed to entertain themselves - not easy when they couldn't take their favourite ball or dolls!!

Ellie Beth

Because the girls were so good over the weekend we have taken them on the East Lancs railway today and for a MacDonalds - they feel duly treated!!! Both of them are train mad, particularly Beth so today was a real treat for them. My daughters are not girly girls, although Ellie loves pink!!!!


Having a good time - Beth is grinning and saying cheese (looks a bit scary though!!)

I managed to get a couple of cards made last night, so the crafting is back and the sewing put away for a few weeks! I am in the process of checking out all my SBS sisters blogs - sorry if you don't get long comments today!!!

Hugs


PS I hope you've all had a good bank holiday weekend.
