Tights Tights Tights

Tights are big news this season, as they are every Autumn/Winter but this year they come with colour and pattern.

I think i need councilling, i can't stop buying them! I must have a pair in every colour but i'm not brave enough to wear these fabulous tights below or should i re-phrase that, not daring enough to show my legs above my michellin knees!

Another Fab Website!!

Whilst looking for gifts for my Daughter's Birthday this month. I came across a fabulous inspirational website, full of fab goodies!

I loved the Kitschness about it and the funky design. The owner also has a blog which i loved reading.

The name of this fabulous site? Temporary Secretary, what a fab name too! http://www.temporary-secretary.com/

Anyway enough of gushing, take a look at this lovely item i bought, there i go gushing again!!

ooops i'd better ask permission first! (off Gail goes to beg the owner).

Call back soon

Well i spoke the lovely lady from Temporary-Secretary and gave me permission to use her photographs so here is the fabulous necklace that i bought for Isobel's Birthday.

Isn't it just so cute!

Its a lovely site for those little cute stocking fillers for friends and family or for just a little something. I'll be back for more thats for sure, ooww look at me, i'm a poet!! NOT!

Cars!!!

I've had a bit of a nightmare with Cars the last 12 months! I bought a Rover car in April but have unfortunately had no end of trouble with it, the last job on the car the garage couldn't get a part without a struggle and the mechanic had been told that parts are becoming increasingly more scarce which has happened sooner than people thought! The clutch was going also on it and i was advised that it maybe very difficult to get one! So, i had to buy a new car as i need a fairly reliable one.

I bought a mini cooper after doing some research and found that they were expensive but hold their price, were made by BMW, were fairly economical on fuel etc. I love it BUT i had an oil leak! Luckily i got it into the garage before it did damage to the engine as there wasn't any oil in the filter!! Nothing serious though the filter has been changed as it had a leak and the dealer i bought it from will re-inburse me.

I've never had a cool car before so i'm really happy driving it, i love it!! My kids are no longer embarrassed by me dropping them off at School :)

So Long Barney!

Our Dog Sitting is coming to an end, well we think so! We can't get in touch with our friends who were supposed to be back this weekend.

Poor Barney the Dog is ready to go home i think now, although Isobel and Sam are going to miss him, they've loved looking after him but he's been bullied by Chomp the Rabbit for his own food. He's been head butted away from his Dog bowl and Bum Butted off the Grass! Grumpy Old Chomp will be glad to see the back of him as he's quite put out by him getting some attention!

Recovery!!

Well Isobel soon recovered when my Nephew came over for a sleepover! Take a look at the fun they had messing up and poor Barney the Dog (who we're Dog sitting for Friends) got roped in too! He doesn't look too happy :(

Look at the mess they've created! They had lots of fun doing it though but how on earth do kids sleep on a hard wooden floor! They're bones are like sponges though aren't they at their age.

It took me hours to clean up after them!

What a Day!

My Daughter Isobel was out playing with friends yesterday afternoon on her bike when her and her friend had a collision! Isobel fell from her bike and hit her hand on the pavement. She was in agony all night!! Me, not wanting to be dramatic put off going to the hospital as,as the evening got on it was getting late and didn't want to expose her to the Friday casualties!

7am, she was complaining after a restless night so up we both got and went to the A & E department which luckily for me is a 10 minute walk from my house but shame on us we drove (well Isobel had hurt her wrist!). We got there and she was examined by Triage and then had an X-ray.

Thankfully a very nice Doctor told us she had no broken bones but a very bad ligament sprain. She is such a drama Queen that when they said they were going to strap it up, she was thinking about all the pity she would get. Can you imagine her face when the Doctor came back and said they had thought about it and they were going to leave it as it were because she really needed to mobolise it to gain a quick recovery!

As we got in the car she said "Mum, can we go to the Chemist to get a Bandage"?

What did i say!? Drama Queen! "laughs"

A Sneaky Peek

Here's a sneaky peek at one of my Designs for my Autumn/Winter Ranges. As Tartan was all over the Catwalks and is featuring heavily in all the magazines i thought i'd be stupid not to include it in my Vintage Yum Label.

I haven't a name for it yet but i love it and is one of my fav's!

Its made from Boden Tartan and has a kilt pin with a handmade beaded design attached to the front.


I hope you like it! X
