My Aga broke down - good for the diet I guess!.....I had a Long List of problems at the cottage, including my Recycling Box's, Bag's and Bin's.... that the Council Bin Men cannot see! and a house full of boy's including my Son...needing lots of love, care and attention while Francesca recovers in hospital!
While all this has been happening, everything else just gets done as and when. But sometimes I just want to cry, then one of the boy's beams a smile and realise how lucky I am. I was able to slip out of the house for a morning while the boy's were visiting Mummy in hospital to do a very quick round of the local Charity shops...looking for Vintage Fair for my my stall ! the problem I have is that when I spot something I like and think will be great to take along to sell...I just do not want to part with it. 
I found some weeks ago, a very dusty old Vintage Deck Chair in my Dad's loft.....super...that came home with me. I got the usual moan from Mr N...more rubbish to clutter the house! I bought this gorgeous Cabbages & Roses Linen material - perfect for 'My' deck chair.
Mr N agreed to paint the frame. Here it has just had it's primer coat and then will need one undercoat before I get to paint the F&B oil eggshell - the best bit - in probably Strong White.
From the same fabric shop, I thought this jolly Cowboy fabric would be great for our Baby Boy Bibs and Changing Mat Covers..
On the subject of cheeky little boy's...'my bunch'...from the left... Rocco who was 1 year in June....Jude now 4 months and Freddie who was 2 in June. Fred and Roc bathed, ready for bed and a night of 'let's keep Nanny and Grandad awake all night'.
My second Award this month. Heidi @ foxglovesfabricandfolly.blogspot.com/ thank you so much. While all this has been going on at home I did think I would have to take a Blog Break...but when good friends like you visit and leave such lovely comments, it really does help lift the spirit. So no Blog Break for me!
I want to give this Award to 3 Blogs that Always are a joy to read and their yummy pictures have always inspired me.....
