AUTUMN IS COMING

Oh how I love Autumn. I love the cool nights and the beautiful warm days.

And now it is just around the corner, and the nights are already getting cooler.

I love the colours of the leaves and lets face it; the fashion is so much better.

Autumn Fires by Robert Louis Stevenson

In the other gardens And all up the vale,

From the autumn bonfires See the smoke trail!

Pleasant summer over And all the summer flowers,

The red fire blazes, The grey smoke towers.

Sing a song of seasons! Something bright in all!

Flowers in the summer, Fires in the fall!

Again on highway cottage I found the link to another quiz. This is the Meyers/Briggs Personality test. And so accurate.

Happy birthday Mr. Divine

Today is Mr. Divines second 21st. He says the second 21 years went much quicker than the first.

Again, we don't do gifts for each other but go out for a date instead. So movie and dinner it was. My shout :)

The kids all chipped in and brought him a gorgeous green stone necklace (not the one in the picture) and some chocolate covered apricots.

SO... HUGS AND KISSES TO YOU MR DIVINE!

Funky felt holder

Again, I am trying to make as many presents as I can. So I have made about 3 of these felt holders so far.

This one is for Miss Boodles friends 6th birthday.

Inside are some felts, Highschool Musical stickers and a Highschool Musical notebook.

So all up it cost around $5.00.

If you want to make it go to One Red Robins blog for the tutorial.

The LUUUV Cloth

Dee of sew-funky has created a love cloth. She has generously shared the pattern and this is the one I knitted.

Dee is a much better knitter than I and her hearts are more prominent. So check out her cool dishcloth patterns at her blog.

Valentines Day

My camera and computer are on talking terms again and allowed me to download some photos :)

As mentioned on this post my husband and I don't buy each other presents. So instead I made a special deal with dinner.

Mr. Divine broke the rules and brought me flowers and chocolates. Naughty Mr. Divine.

We had a lovely bottle of wine, while the kids had blackcurrant juice. Miss Boodles (6) calls it wine though, which makes me wonder what the school thinks ;)

I made each person a place card and wrote a special note of what I love about them.

I hope it will speak to the children of what love looks like and what to expect when they meet Mr/Mrs right.
