Bickits

My lovely little Granddaughter Ava, has been poorly over the last few weeks.
She was just getting over a flu virus when she started with a sickness bug, which was first thought to be food poisoning, poor little mite. I am happy to say she is now well on the mend and needs building up as she has lost a lot of weight.

So I was really pleased when she phoned last night, with the help of Dad of course. Ava does know how to get the lock of the phone, last time she rang my cousins wife. I think that maybe the first of many calls they will be getting them being the first name in the contacts list, her name is Ann. lol

So when I received these pictures I thought I would share them with you all. Can't wait to print them off and scrapbook them. Might have to be one of Sunday's projects I think.

Anyway I asked Ava what she was doing and she replied 'Baking'

'What are you baking?' 'Bickits'

Since they moved house Ava favorite place is sitting at the bottom of the stairs.

Where does Ava mix her biscuits? sitting on the stairs of course.

mmm looking good

and like every good cook, you must have a taste...

biscuits for supper it is then.

Happy Crafting.

Don't push it!

It is not as bright and sunny here in Sheffield this morning, not like yesterday, it was a beautiful day. So might just have to stay in and craft until it brightens up. My new years resolution was to finish off all the half made projects I have. I started with all good intention and then fell by the wayside after just a few weeks!!

As you all know Alfie fetches my slippers in a morning for me. Now he is getting very clever as after I have my slippers he will fetch a pair of shoes. If I don't put my slippers out of reach, he will keep bringing them after I have put my shoes on! This week he has carried the post in from the post man too! Every morning when he brings my slippers he gets a small treat taken from his daily allowance, as he is on a diet! Not my doing the vets, I don't think he is over weight he charges round in the garden like a mad thing and if he finds a ball he will bring it all day long for us to throw. Any way, when Alfie keeps coming with my slippers I tell him not to push his luck as he can't have any more treats. So when I saw a horse called 'Don't push it' running in the Grand National yesterday, I just had to have a flutter on it didn't I? and it won!! Just might have to take Ava shopping later! :-)

Ava is loving getting out in the garden everyday

here she is having a little rest while wondering what to do next! lol

What every you are doing, enjoy! Lynne xx

A quick text from Ava...

Good morning to you all. I had an early night last night and feel a much better today I was shattered after my exciting fun packed weekend, straight back into it yesterday morning with a full card class. Although I do feel as though I am starting with a cold got a bit of a snuffle. As long as I don't get man flu I will be OK!! lol
I do have more stuff to tell and show about the weekend along with stock updates and expected deliveries... I just wanted to share this picture with you all, I received it this morning...priceless


what do you think??

That is one little girlie who I have really missed, can't wait for the weekend to catch up with my hugs and cuddles. Lynne x

Birthday girl!!

We have had a great evening an Ava has gone home shattered, it is hard work being a birthday princess. Ava had a birthday party on Sunday at home with family and friends and tonight we went for a family meal. My BH missed out as our central heating has gone on the blink again! so he volunteered to wait in for the plumber, who has still not arrived! I am sat here typing this with more layers than an onion on!! lol and I am going to bed with them all on too!! lol
Ava at her party on Sunday in her pink fairy costume!!


Even little fairies get tired!! :-)

I took lots of pictures at the party on Sunday and I am not really happy with any of them! :-( I will edit and print some and see what I can retrieve. I was hoping that some one would have got some better ones this evening but up to now mine are the best!!! which does not say a lot for my families camera skills!! I will have to be creative with the layouts, you can improve a lot of photos with a few selectively placed embellies!! lol

Little Ava

We all had a bit of a scare yesterday when little Ava put a penny in her mouth!! Luckily Kyla managed to get it out, but Ava was not breathing correctly so to be on the safe side and just in case there had been another penny, phoned for advice. A paramedic came out and although her breathing was normal again Ava was referred to hospital, a procedure followed for under 2s. At hospital Ava had a chest x ray, which revealed all was clear, better to be safe than sorry.





Hope you are all enjoying your weekend.

Who reads the Sunday Papers??

Ava...
...but only when Iggle Piggle from the Night Garden is in!! lol :-)
The weekend of the Children in need apeal Ava, Ben and Kyla were staying with us. Ben was sat reading the papers when Ava spotted her favorite TV charachter Iggle Piggle was in.
That's two more pics for the album.

Bouncing Ava

Normal service has been resumed today!!
Mum has been lucky and had no repercussions from her fall yesterday. Both the pooches seem to be on the mend. Alfie has been doing a lot more sleeping than usual, he didn't get up until 6am this morning.

Thank you to every one who has emailed me today to find out how Mum is.

My daughter bought Ava a baby bouncing tigger seat. Here are a few pictures that my BH took on his phone for me when he was visiting the other day.
