I know I've been lazy bout my blog!!!!!!

I think it's because of the Easter holidays though, so I have an excuse.
Seriously though I just spent the last two weeks chillin at home with the girls.
 I admit to being ultra lazy & slothful & I don't really care heh heh!!!!
It was a sweet break.
I did do a little bit of crafting, not a lot, but a wee bit, so at least I
have something to show for myself.
A few more grannies, patchwork ones, not the cute crochet type


One of these days they will magically become a quilt, soon, I promise.


I'm determined to do lots of work this week, really I am!!!!!!

A lil project with this beauty


Picked it up for E1.50 in the church thrift shop, cute eh!!!!!
Here's the after......



Amazing what a lick of paint can do & number two......


Forgot to take a before of this one, needless to say I def prefer both of them now!!!

The highlight of our hols was Laurens birthday.
We all went for afternoon tea at the prettiest tea rooms in a village not far from us in Quin


Had a yummy lunch



And some fun time together


Sweeties!!!!!


Another sweetie.....couldn't get one of Beth....no way she would not have it!!!!



SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! XXXXX
Have a great weekend
See you soon
Lots of love Karen x

  3. Hey - welcome back! Your quilt blocks are coming along well. Can't wait to see the finished project! I love High Tea. I wish it was still our custom in our busy world. More people could use the relaxation!

  11. Yep! Slothful. That's me. I accomplish so much on the weekends. But during the week, forget about it! It's great sometimes just to hang out and be, not always doing. A birthday tea sounds delightful. Hope your day is wonderful. Tammy

  14. Ditto! School holidays here and anything to do with blogs has been ignored for too long. Kind of nice in a way though! What a lovely post - your lamps are amazing, the gorgeous tea treats are making me hungry and your quilt squares are as always, stunning!!

    Have to tell you too that I repainted my spare room yesterday, bought a new duvet cover and your beautiful, beautiful cushion is now pride of place on the bed. It look fantastic! I had always intended for it to go either on the bed or on a chair, so it was adorable to hear my husband yesterday suggesting we should put it on the bed because he loved it so much!!! Owwwww. Once my new curtains arrive I will make sure I send you a piccie. Couldn't do it now with the blimmin' horrid ones hanging in there at the moment!!! Ick.

    Have a fabulous week hon.
