Holiday

2 of my big girls came to visit us this week :o)
They had so much fun, as did my younger kids hehe.

3 of them went off on a girly shopping trip :o)



One of my older daughters paints faces as a hobby. So, my younger kids got her to paint their faces several times!











They went for a "Mini Train" ride :o)





My 9 year old had some holiday homework to do for school. She had to make a Tudor House.



And they all had a great time at the park.













One thing I love about having a big family is that they all look after one another.





My kids are all very tight knit and love each other so much!





Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope you are having a great day :o)

Happy Birthday to my lovely little boy!

He's 5 today!!!

Happy Birthday!!!

My baby girl is 4 years old today!!!

Here she is in her new big girl clothes and holding her Baby Anabel which, incidentally, she is a little freaked out by lol.



You put a bottle in the doll's mouth and it makes sucking noises. When you remove the bottle the doll burps, then it sighs turns it head and shuts it's eyes to go to sleep!
She keeps asking us to turn it off haha.

Putting her own candles in her cake.



Happy Birthday Angel!

More knitting :o)

Just thought I would share a few more of my creations, for those of you that aren't on facebook.
Also, I now have an Etsy store. Go check it out! :o)

My 9 year old daughter LOVED this design so much she wanted a Petal Pink one for her doll! I may be able to get a snap of her, with her doll, at some point.

Have a great day everyone.x

I've been knitting!

I have been knitting in preperation for taking pictures of my grandbaby due in July, so, I decided to show my friends "The Pixel Chicks" my creations.
They went crazy and have had me knitting for them ever since I showed them lol.

All of these are sold, but I can make more, should you wish to place an order with me.

"2 Blue Striped Stocking hat"



"Vanilla Popcorn"



"Strawberries and Cream Striped Stocking hat"



"Candy Striped Stocking hat"



Chocolate and Candy Striped Stocking hat.

HD ALERT!

Yep, my HD is absolutely full!!!
So I have been going through my old files deleting them.
And while I was going through my archive, I found a beautiful portrait of one of my daughters. It was just a quick snap at the park to be honest and, at the time, I didn't see any potential in it!!!
WOW! What was I thinking?!!!



I hasten to add I haven't taken large amounts of pictures since the 21st of April. However, I have been getting creative. I have been making things and taking pictures of my creations hehe. I might share some of those pictures soon.

"Me Time" Yay!

With the kids back at school, I decided to take myself off to the park for some "Me Time".

Red Tulips are so beautiful. But my favourite colour has to be yellow :o)





I was zoomed right in on this Goose when it suddenly flapped it's wings! I was so upset that I cut off it's wing, but, it's still one of my favourite shots from that morning.



Such a pretty scene with the Blossom Tree framing the waterfall. I couldn't resist capturing it :o)



This Moor Hen was sat there so peacefully. I love how it is looking at it's reflection haha.
My friend named the image for me "Who's a Pretty Boy then?" lol
Thank you so much Stella.x



Feeding the birds.



This little Blackbird was hopping around posing for me, I swear haha.

You are my sunshine

Just having some fun with a sunset.

A traditional 5th wedding anniversary gift is wood. So here's my hubby, with our kids, in the woods haha.



Happy birthday and happy wedding anniversary darling.
I love you with all my heart and more <3

A 7 day Photo Frenzy!!!

I'm not sure how may people look at my blog but I thought I would share the pictures from a 7 day photo frenzy that I just completed on schedule!
The aim of it was to shoot a fresh picture every day on the day. The theme's were already set.
