Life.......

is tending to get in the way of crafting at the moment which is a little frustrating on the creative front but hopefully this will be put right tomorrow, which I have labelled in my head 'crafting Tuesday'.
We shall see!!
In the meantime, just wanted to show you the early birthday present I have kinda bought myself!!
Isn't it divine?!!!!
I LOVE it!!
In its day (1936) this was the most expensive model ever produced and there was a waiting list!!!
And I HAVE one!!!!!
Excited? Me? Well, okay then. As my daughter would put it - "YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Double figures.

On Tuesday, our little Floss was ten, the big 1o!! Excited was NOT the word!!
She had a great time, laughed a lot and loved her presents and all her visitors...
and even the completely strange but oddly edible Giant Jaffa Cake was a weird success!!!!!!!
And just look at this fabulous card that my eldest son's gorgeous girlfriend made for Floss......

How fantastic is that?!!! Even though the Pipples are causing me a massive headache at the moment, I LOVE that card. So sweet.

And on the Pipple note, can I just say a big thank you to all those of you who have emailed and left messages with potential names. I am still searching, and researching since I don't want anything similar out there!!
It could run and run forever, so I have decided that I must have found a name by Sunday to put an end to the torment. If I find one not suggested by anyone, then I will put all the names of kind people who have offered help into a hat and draw out a winner that way. So either way, someone will win a Pip....Thingy of their choice!! You can look here for the ones currently available.
SO, PLEASE KEEP THINKING!! It's not easy, especially when you start looking at similar stuff and find others have got there first!
I keep having to go and do something else as it's driving me mad.
On a happier note, I spent some time on the very therapeutic task of making felt rainbow piles and my felty customers might like to know that the felt packs are all replenished in my shop here and here. I always love playing with felt and the colours always make me happy so it was a lovely change from thinking about Thingy names.
