Mabel and Ned

This week is turning out to be incrediby busy - starting with a quick visit from Nelly, Gaz and Mabel. I'm not normally a fan of pictures of myself (in reality there aren't many - I'm the one with the camera in my hand) but I liked the feel of these


The weekend ended with Cleggy and I remembering that sons #2 and 3 both needed a 'victorian children' outfit for a trip to Styal Mill. 

We can usually muster up one costume, 
but two was a struggle and we resorted
to 'victorian' football socks!

This is them trying to look like miserable victorian children!

Monday and Tuesday have just been hectic, trying to juggle Chipper Nelly, the job known as 'the house' and also help with Cleggys business. Could do with 48 hours in each day. Can't complain - I'm glad we're busy!

Here are a couple of todays makes (for you Paula!)






...and a new chipper nelly product 

 

Finally, because he's just SO gorgeous, a few pictures of Ned enjoying the remains of my pink lady apple
 In case you're wondering, Ned isn't enjoying the delights of a tortoise brothel, the red light is his heat lamp!

p.s took 30 photographs of the pesky ducklings today and not ONE of them was in focus. They are manic! going to try again tomorrow...you won't believe how big they've got!

  2. You are very photogenic and should be in lots more photos! I know what you mean, though - there's very few of me in the family album because I'm the one taking the shots!
    Love your stuff, the blocks are great.
    If you get a mo, I'd love you to pop over to my new-ish blog and see what you think! X

  4. Lovely photos - I too dodge photos at all costs - the boys look very grumpy and Victorian and Ned has great taste in apples - Pink Ladies are my bestest favourite. The blocks are fab.

  5. Your pics are lovely, you look relaxed and natural. Like everyone else I prefer to be behind the camera, anyone looking at our photos would wonder if the children had a mother!

  6. The photos are great. You should have your picture taken more often. I never have my picture taken because no matter what, I always look like a Jim Henson creation.
    Mabel's face in the 3rd picture is simply adorable.
