I'm making invitations for our wedding

Hi everyone
I had decide I wanted to make them as I had my own ideas this was my first attempt.

My Idea for my wedding invitations  my first attempt
Then I decided that there was something missing so I tried again. 
What I did was add a lilac color from my ink pad round the edges.
I also add 2 beads instead of one on the ribbon i really love the butterfly 
I also added a flower sticker to the wording I really like this.



Now all I have to do is make 30 more and design the inside to so fun fun.  I also doing my flowers and would love to make my dress and ties for the boys. so watch this space.

My recycle projects that were free

Hi everyone
Hope everyone's OK.
I know it's been awhile but I have been busy with my boys, summers always hard as kids do get bored. This picture is of me and my dog Pepper. She's a good girl doesn't mind the sea when it's calm.  She wasn't sure when it was ruff wouldn't let us near it she kept pulling me away. 
All my boys are back at school even my four year old is going full time.
I found my self at a loss. It was my friends daughters 10th birthday and I wanted to get her some thing or make some thing. This is what I came up with.
I made her a fabric folder that also holds pencils and pens and A a4 folder. 
This is what it looks like when it's folded up.
she loved it I also made her a pencil case to match 
And I made her a T shirt bag as she loves bags.
The words on the front suit her as she is a little chatterbox but I don't mind. 
You can turn this bag inside out the inside looks like this,
I was so pleased she loved all her bits. I was also happy as I didn't spend a penny as I used what I had.
She like that I took the time to make her something. I also made her card with her name on.
Now it's my sons 16th birthday coming up.  I've made him a pencil case out out a leg and back pocket from my youngest old clean jeans  and some left over fabric. 
This is what it looked like after I had cut them out and sewn the back pocket on to the leg. Please forgives I'm still learning how to put put a zip in. 
Anyway this is what it looked a finished I think he will like it.
I hope you like it. I'm very happy with the way they turned out  as I've never made a pencil case with a zip before and the fact that I didn't spend a penny is even better. So I'm happy 
Good night people and take care.

Veggie garden

Hi people

This is my soon to be veggie garden. Its taken a lot to clear but I'm getting there slowly. Very proud of it I've just got to finish clearing. But theres so the rubbish the old people used it as a dumping yard /bonfire it was a real mess. Not to mention all the dog poo it's stinks, but underneath the soil is lovely nice and fertile. So should be good for growing veggies in. My next job is going to be deciding what to grow. I already have tomatoes and strawberries growing in pot any ideas please 
Thanks for reading

The change in me

Hi people


This it me last april 2012
 

 

 This was me christmas eve 2011
This was me october 2012.










Can anyone else see the difference. All I know is that last year at the start of my slimming journey Back in october, I was told by my doctor that if I didnt do anything about my weight I would most likely be having to use a walking stick or wheel chair. As I found it so hard to walk, climbing the stairs was so painful, my back hurt so I found it difficult to hold my 2yr old son and that really hurt.
So I decided to enjoy christmas and made some small changes to start with.  I started watching what I eat and used a small plate I also wrote everything down I also started blogging and doing vlog on youtube I also started using myfitness pal and it worked.
The next step was to get me moving. So I started walking to the local shops and back at first would Take me an hour now I can do it in half hour yay me.  I used to hate taking my 2yr old to play group it was just up the road again at first it took me half an hour just to get there. The first time I managed to get there in 10 minutes the woman at the desk must of thought I was crazy, till I explained why I was jumping up and down with joy. But I now can walk quite far it takes me now 20 minutes to walk a mile and a half . I'm not so scared to jog for the bus. Not that I'm very quick but I can do it and Im so proud of my self.
I have lost so far 51 pound in weight. 4ins from my waist and 5ins from my hips.  I did get stuck were my weight wasn't moving. So I started doing slimming world back in august then 4 weeks ago I joined A group in new malden and everyone is so nice and helpful  and the lady who runs it is great and happy to listen and anscer questions.
So I'm in a happy place at the moment.

Hope you enjoy reading. Please leave a message on ideas you may have even questions. if i can do it anyone can.
I'm going to start blogging more so watch this space
Take care
