....envy.
I really do envy those organized people who some how manage to blog every day. I really would love to but I often run out of time and more often than not have very little to say. But tonight I have the time for a little update on the wild and crazy life that I live.
I have finally finished decorating the box room, now dubbed "The Bat Cave". Dove ey on three walls and soft black on the fourth. With the black blinds and curtains is looks chic and masculine, which was what I was aiming for as it is a home office/den for my hubby.
My little boy has developed the most hideous eczema which has left him looking a little like Lizard man, but thankfully I think we now have it under control and he is now getting back his beautiful baby soft skin. We are waiting rather impatiently for him to cut his first tooth as well so lots of sleepless nights for us.
I have been scrapping like mad but making very few cards. I go through stages like that though. I was finding it heartbreaking to let go of my hard work even though they were greatly appreciated. With scrapbooking my creations don't stray any further than my book case. Pictures to follow.

This is my entry from the Scrummy Stash Café challenge blog. I actually finished it last night but due to the large amount of snow that fell on my little village I haven’t been able to post it until now.
I live in a little village on the Welsh border. I am surrounded by rolling fields filled with sheep. I moved here with my hubby about eight months ago from an equally small village surrounded by rolling fields filled with cows on the outskirts of Bristol. Because my husband still works in Bristol, I drive him to work every day over the severn crossing. There are two bridges crossing the severn in to England and just after ten this morning they were both closed due to the snow. This is the first time this has happened since the second crossing was opened. Fortunately we were able to cross it in to England this morning but after struggling our way through the deep snow to Charlies office we found out that they were closing for the day and that Charlie could go home. A little annoying as it takes thirty minutes to get to Charlies office and another thirty to get home. Charlie was thrilled though, its not often that you get an unexpected day off. We headed for my mums as she was expecting me, it being Friday. I am very glad that we did as they had closed the bridges and we had no way of returning to Wales. Even my mum’s street was barely impassable. In the end we waited it out at mums, building a snow man, making snow angels and having snowball fights. I felt like a child again. I hope that Logan gets to see snow like this again when he is old enough to enjoy it.

Some times I forget.
I saw this while tidying up before heading to bed and had to snap a picture. My husband has taken Logans shoes off and dropped them on top of his in the corner of the dining room (Oddly enough that is wear my husbands work shoes live). My husband has size 12/13 feet and they make Logans shoes seem so small.

This took me months but I have finally finished it. I still have to streach it but I am going to wait till I have decided what to do with it. I think it would look nice framed though its meant to be a cushion.
My little boy got a little devil costume from his uncle when he was born and I have been dying to frame this picture of him wearing it. I added a couple of spiders and some webbing using black card, a few eyelets and a black fineliner.
I picked up some mulberry paper flowers recently and decided that they would really perk up my wedding photos. I only have these three on display as they show how much Charlie and I enjoy eachother.

My little boy Logan is 4 months old in a few days. I feel like time has flown by. I think what makes it seam that way even more is that Logan is growing at an alarming rate. He has been checked out by numerous doctors and we have been told that his growth is perfectly healthy and that he will slow down in time. As my husband Charlie is over 6 ft tall and big with it they are not surprised. This picture was taken today. In it Logan is wearing a 6 - 9 months baby grow. He has been grumpy all evening as I have made him wear his scratch mitts. He has dry skin on his face and he keeps scratching it, poor love.

Recently while clearing up my stash of craft goodies I came across my jar of Hama fusible beads. I loved these for a while but quickly ran out of ideas after making a few coasters. A quick search on the net revealed a whole community of people creating beautiful things based on computer game sprites. I couldn't resist giving it a go myself. I may be looking down the barrel of thirty and a new mum but when I get time I still love to lose myself in a computer game.
Kirby.
Bomberman.
Kermit (Not game related but I love kermy!)
Pacman and crew :o)
Yoshi and Wolverine.
Hello Kitty.
I have a load of ideas and will post more as I finish them. I have way too many hobbies :o)

I love this picture of Logan smiling over his dads shoulder. This layout started out as an entry for a challenge at Ad This but I got distracted and never finished it in time.

I have been severely remiss and need to be punished for my complete lack of dedication to my blog. I have been desperately busy over the last few week and to be honest a little bored with the whole blogger thing. 
The hubby and I have managed to paint the kitchen a lovely powder blue which looks yummy against the while detailing and really suits our 1910 Victorian house.
We also painted our bathroom a bright turquoise, it looks wonderful. This picture really doesn't do it justice.
We have also painted the master bedroom but as my hubby is asleep in it right now, no chance of a picture just yet.

I am a terrible blogger. I need to be spanked for my lack of posts of late. Even this post is going to be tragically short as my little boy has decided its bed time. Just not enough hours in the day at the moment. But I promise tomorrow to show off the few things I have managed to do since I last posted.
