Its Fast Approaching.......

I've got a big birthday coming up in March, about 3 months to be exact. With one thing and another I just didn't get round to writing a list of things I would like to do on the run up to the big birthday. Well I did do one thing and that's buy a smash book and there it has sat unused for the past 10 months. I'm going to put it to good use this year when I pass that big number.  

Just need to write the big birthday bucket list of things to do during that year.  Got some in my head, some well in to the planning stages but a few gaps remain to be filled.  Any suggestions?

A list of 30 things, you know one for each year ;0)

A Different Christmas

Christmas this is going to be very different from those over the past 10 years.

Different....very very different.

This year, we will not have a visit to Santa, you see, they no longer believe.

I am much more upset about this than they are.

No longer will I see their faces light up when they meet that special man.

No longer will they suddenly turn shy and go very quite, mouths open with an eye popping gaze.

No longer will I creep around on Christmas Eve, collecting all the presents from their hiding places.

To be honest, they didn't really believe last year, but we visited Santa and went through the motions. I think it was more to keep me happy, rather than them.

They are growing up, growing up way too fast.

It honestly scares me.

& Monkey Makes Two

Thought I would sneak in an entry to this months challenge over at Sarah's Cards.  

Made using the New Amy Tangerine collection Ready Set Go.  You can find the sketch here.

I Scrapped!!!

I know I can't quite believe it either.  Here is the one and only LO I have made in what seems like ages.  In at least a month to be honest.

Would like to sit down and start organizing my Christmas Album but a) my kit has not arrived yet and b) I don't have time; too much to do and kids under my feet.  No ME time on the horizon until at least next Friday but that's not a certainty as I have some big plans to get going for next year after I had some good news this week.  

The big decision I have been waiting for, the one thing that has kept my whole life in limbo for the last 3 months has finally been made.  Just hate it when plans rely on others and they go out of their way to make things difficult.  Well now its happening and should all be done and completed by Mid January and then the new life can begin!!!  Just so excited but can't exactly say what until I have something in my hand early next year when I know it has all happened. Its then the Big Birthday Bucket List can be made public. 

2013 WILL be good to us.  

Tuesday Tallies (13 November 2012)

I really don't know where the past few weeks have gone.  I've hardly done any crafting yet I can't tell you what I have been doing.  Life I guess!  I have been busy on a couple of projects.  

I've knitting a hat, just need to sew it up and add the decoration which I am hoping to get done this week.  

Knitted 1 wrist warmer which only took me one day.

Worked on my Springtime Throw.

Worked on Rowan Cashmerino DK Granny Square blanket - now completed 30 squares.

And started a new blanket after I went away on holiday and ended up with no crochet but bags of new yarn.  I have completed 8 colours on this blanket.

Pop on over to Carole to take a look at some other yarny work.
