An Award!

After over a year writing this blog I have finally got an award! Sorry, that sounds like I'm complaining that I've never had one doesn't it? Anyway, my new friend Michele his given me The Spirit of Christmas Award for encouraging her to start her blog. Michele and I met a few weeks ago at the Chipping Norton Fair where we had stalls next to each other. Michele makes the most gorgeous collages (can I call them that Michele?) and cards and at the time of doing the fair she was wondering about starting a blog. Of course I totally encouraged her and within the next week she was up and running. Do go and vistit her. Her blog is really lovely. Thanks so much for the award Michele.

I think I'm supposed to pass this award on to five more people but I just can't do it. I've spent half the morning trying to decide who I should pass it on to and I just can't narrow it down to five. I can't even narrow it down to ten! Over the past few months I have received so much kindness from so many people that it seems unfair to pick just five. The amount of emails and even little gifts that arrived to cheer me up I don't think I could say thank you properly. You've all got me through it and I really feel I'm coming through to the other side, feeling so much stronger and more positive. You all deserve an award!

Well it's Friday again! I always love the sense of anticipation on a Friday. Just knowing that the whole weekend lies ahead. I'm off to the Cotswolds for bonfire celebrations in Mum and Dads village. They have a really big event and Mum and Dad get really involved in the organisation. I've volunteered myself this year too so I understand I'm helping Mum on the hot dog stall! My Sis, Brother-in-Law and little Hamish are coming along too. It will be Hamish's first bonfire night as he was too young to appreciate it this year but they're hoping he'll enjoy it this year. I'm really looking forward to a weekend in the Cotswolds, especially if the sun keeps shining as it is now.

I've just popped another cushion in the shop and there will be Christmas decorations going in on Monday. Have a lovely weekend and I'll see you all next week. xxx

Well done sweetie on getting the award.
And congrats on the shop, it looks lovely.
And also you're flat, very welcoming. Sorry it's been a while, just so busy. Like everyone else.
Have a great bonfire night, we're taking the girls out to watch some, so it's warm hats, coats and mittens tonight. I love the cold evenings.
Warm wishes.

HI!
Yes i am shouting it out, because i realize that i haven`t visited you for days!! En entire page, uh..well, i have been reading and looking at all of it and i get the feeling that you are feeling good? :)
That`s fine girl! I really love your new cushions,beautiful designs. And, loved all the different coloured buttons.
And i see that you have been doing some baking as well, wanted to taste those! Sweet, sweet..Jum
So you are heading of to Cotswolds for bonfire? Sounds great! Oh, bonfire, so cozy..
Wanna go with you, take some pictures okey?
The book i just bought is a different one to the one you already have. The title sounds almost the same, but look at her website, her http://www.katrincargill.com/pages/books.htm
Then you see the one you mentioned and the one i just bought. It is sooo beautiful!! Full of lovely projects like lampshades, patchwork, technical skills and it shows you lot of different ways of make the most beautiful curtains, and how to dress your windows as well...really well written and filled with pictures and detailed illustrations.

Well, Nonnie, thank you for support and always making me feel good about what i do and about myself, big hug :))
