Friday Chat Day and Mini Kit

Hello friends

It is Friday, we've got through another week in these

surreal times.

How are you all faring?

Hopefully your lighthouses are shining bright.

But this isn't any ol' Friday, it's Good Friday.
We've decided to postpone Easter until later in the year,
doesn't feel right to not be celebrating with family.
I did come across a bag of mini eggs in the cupboard
so on Sunday I will make some fairy cakes and pop them on the top.
It doesn't matter what age you are, fairy cakes are a must!



I need to offer lots of thanks this week.

Firstly, thank you for the lovely messages of concern for my Mum.

As I'm writing this, she is still in hospital but we are hoping

she can come home soon. It's a difficult position as we dearly

want her to be home but equally we know she is in far safer hands 

being in hospital.  Her garden is flourishing so I made sure

she received some pictures this week.

Oh 

The lovely new lawn is doing well.

My second round of thanks is for this month's Charity Kit

that sold out super fast.

I did receive messages from those who hadn't been able to grab one

so I made a decision to do something extra.
I've put together mini card kits with a donation going to the NHS.

Each kit creates two mini cards measuring 4 x 4 

with a rainbow theme.

A window design 'Missing You'.

And an open envelope with hearts design 'Thinking of You'.

I thought these would be appropriate designs to send out to 

family and friends.

There's everything included in the kit:

White 4 x 4 card base and envelope x 2

Grey card mat x 2

White stamped card mat x 2

Die cuts - rainbow hearts x 14 (2 designs), envelope and window x 2

Full instructions

You just need adhesive and a couple of foam squares.

I've made a limited amount to see how popular they are.

The cost is £6 - includes postage and packing.
The PayPal link is below.

As mentioned, a donation will be going to the NHS.

 If you do order,  please allow a few days for the Bank Holiday.

I have to say the Posties are doing a fabulous job through this.
And thank you again for the amazing support for the
charity kits.

 

Now what else has been happening?
It was the start of the 100 Day Project on Tuesday.
I've set myself a bit of a task this time with writing 1,000 words a day.
Happy to say I've stuck with it so far.

I have resisted starting any new crochet projects and instead

determined to finish some items.

This is the Hydrangea blanket with a Bella in the background.

I also had a mad moment and had a go at sketching along with

Made by Leah on Instagram.

The boys laughed!

Following last week's Friday Chat Day there are still Nostepinnes available

and well done to the great idea of Dad possibly making plant dibbers.

I also came across this - a picnic table for squirrels! 

I truly want one. (Picnic table - not squirrel!)

And it wouldn't be a Friday Chat Day if I didn't 

mention the telly.

Along with me loving BritBox - still getting through those

Midsomer Murders,  I have discovered

Miss Scarlet and the Duke available on Alibi (Sky and Virgin TV)

It is about the first ever female detective in Victorian London.

I sense it isn't factually accurate but with lots of lavish detail

it ticks along very nicely.

It airs Tuesdays, 9pm.

And that pretty much wraps up my week.

Before I go, congratulations to Karen on the birth of your second grandson, 

you'll have stories to tell him about the timing of his birth when he is older.

Take care friends, sending lots of best wishes to you 

all for the weekend - remember stay home, shine bright.
