My to do list just keeps on growing!!

We are slowly chipping away at things to be done in the house but its so frustrating right now as my mind has so many things it wants to do yet my hips wont let it!! LOL We were driving through town the other day and i said to dh i wanted to ask to be dropped off but i knew i would just end up stranded as i wouldnt be able to walk anywhere anyway so whats the point - i honestly think if things were fine with my hips i wouldnt want to go anywhere!! Its only the fact i cant that really makes me want to go and get things done!! LOL
DH did however get my carboot bargain shelving put up (my £1 bargain that just needs touching up with paint but i thought in situ was probably better than bending down!) LOL I love the fact its made some space in the larder too as ive managed to shift some of my jars of cooking goodies finally! They just need faffing up with labels etc....you didnt think i could leave them plain did you??! lol

Laura Ashley have a 25% sale off everything this weekend and typically i went shopping the day before it started - i really must take more notice of ...well, notices!! lol Ive always known what kind of fruit bowl/stand i wanted and over the years have bought loads of glass/metal/plastic bowls etc but nothing ever seemed 'perfect'. However i found this gorgeous stand and almost gasped at the perfectness (is that a word?) of it..... ive finally found the one ive been looking for!! Its so me!! LOL Then a call into the charity shop turned up the glass cake display stand next to it for £2.50 which right now houses some coloured pretties (including the bracelet i bought from Deborah), my watch and rings etc.......you will find out why in the next bit!! LOL

Talking of coloured pretties (see the link i did there - heck that was good going with pregnancy brain!) i have been playing with the P K Glitz glitters and embossing powders this weekend and boy i forgot where glitter DOESNT get to! Heres a sneak of my first layout made for the team...I turned round and looked at dh last night and he just burst out laughing, apparently i was sparkly from head to toe!! LOL Im not the neatest of workers and have a tendency to blow on work to get rid of 'bits' - not a good idea when youre using powders and sparkles!! LOL

Well, im off to write up a little of tomorrows post too as im salivating at the thought of it - Week 9 brings our first sweetie shopping list and also the 'ingredients' you will need for a perfect little packaging idea. I love the little project ive designed and will do the tutorial one day later in the week so that you have the sweets recipe seperate, on Wednesday as usual. Perfect combination for Mothers Day and Easter :)

  9. Your charity shops are obviously far superior to the ones near me! Sorry bout your hips, i know how much of a nightmare it is, when i was pregnant with my youngest, my hips got that bad i couldn't walk. lived in my bedroom for the last couple months. It was all worth it though, even pushing out all 10lb 10oz of him! lol.

  11. Hi there, have been lurking for ages and thought I'd finally leave a comment!! I just wanted to say how utterly gorgeous your blog is and I share your love of all things pretty and homespun!! Loving your recipes too, looking forward to the next one!
    I also have to empathise with the hip thing. Through all 5 of my pregnancies I sufferered symphisis pubis dysfunction which sounds like what you have. it's so debilitating but it does go almost as soon as the baby is born - it's quite amazing !! Make sure you just be careful with yourself- easier said than done, lol.
    Take care,

  12. Hi Sweetie sorry to hear your suffering with walking, sounds like you have symphisis pubis dysfunction.....I had this in my last pregnancy it's where a hormone that should be released during labour to soften, slacken your ligaments etc holding your pelvis together ready to deliver the baby, decides to release early resulting in very painful pelvis and hips etc etc.as there is nothing holding it together properly!! I too had to have crutches and a wheelchair in the end and unfortunately could nto be mobile during labour...obviously because you can't walk!!!! I remember how painful it is and sympathise with you. Unfortunately it stays until baby comes, then just dissappears after!! By the 3rd week it was like I had never had it! Love your blog and recipes..thank you for sharing :) Hugs to you sweetie xoxox

    The things we do (and forget about so do again!!) LOL
