Can I start off with apologies for being a bad blogger this past couple of weeks. Things have been insane busy at work, I am contracted to work 9-5 Mon - Fri, but recently have been doing 7am-10pm and working weekends too as things are just so very busy at the minute.
There are difficult times in my industry at the moment (Construction) and we are all having to pull together to keep things going, I don't mind too much; it's my liveliehood I'm working for. I know one day there will be an end to it and this coming week will see a little bit of respite.
My washing is piling up and in danger of crushing someone, I didn't have time to do any food shopping or even order it online, so I have been feeding the kids on crap and to top it all off I don't have time to knit or sew or crochet to spend hours reading and commenting on all your lovely blogs, and I have missed you all.
So this weekend I will spend time catching up on everything and get back to normality soon I hope.
On a brighter note, I took part in the spread the bloggy love swap over on lovely Jackie's Blog and my parcel arrived on Thursday night. I have since opened it and was just delighted with the treasures that I found inside.
I was paired up with the lovely Jille from Love to Craft who has such similar tastes to mine, everthing I opened was a delight and such a welcome end to a very busy exhausting week ~ thanks so much Jille!
Feast your eyes on these delights:
I just love the tag on these hearts...
I just love the tag on these hearts...
Wasn't I a lucky girl?
I did prepare for my swap a while ago and have been knitting and sewing and painting bits to send off but I have been waiting for delivery of one last thing before sending it all off, and it's now all packaged up and ready to go.
Big thanks have to go to Jille for the wonderful goodies and to Jackie and little miss for organising it all!
~ ♥ Back Soon (honest) ♥ ~
