I've had a jig about!

I've gotten all technical and "domino" linked my Blog to Facebook and Twitter...and so it goes around and around... I've given my blog a fresh new look too and added a Folksy shop. Do please tell me what you think, and tell me where you found me too - it lets me know it's all working.

What a happy find!

Whilst having a MAJOR tidy out of the spare room, which incidently doubles as a workroom, I found this beauty.....

I clearly remember my brother buying me this for a teenage birthday.  Boy was I happy!

For those of you who are not as advanced in years as myself, it is a Nintendo NES. The grandaddy of all gaming systems.

I wonder what little J will think of Mario in his wonderfully pixalated original form.....
I'm now off to plug it in..and if it works it's going to be a long night.

HEY HEY...Its a giveaway!

Would you like to make this?

 I sell kits with the materials and instructions to make the sunny sunflower in the picture above. If you would like to win one...just leave a comment below and I will get the random number generator ( once I can figure out how one works!) to pick a comment on the 1st of May and I will send a kit winging its way to you!

Oh, how exciting!!!

 

I'm very pleased to announce..I've been nominated for my first award!!

It means a lot to a little blog like mine so "Thank you , Thank you, Thank you" to Caroline over at Gran Plumbley

So now I must answer the 10 questions and try not to over think the answers ( as I tend to do with EVERYTHING).

Favourite colour: Purple and Teal ( don't ask me to choose for they share top spot in my eyes) and preferably clashing splendidly as they do!

Favourite animal: Hmmmm tricky, I should say my lovely elderly cat "Roger" but I think it is probably the "luck Dragon " from Neverending story!

Favourite number: 13 as it gets unjustified bad press :(

 

Favourite non-alcoholic drink: weak soya cappachino with a half shot of sugar free caramel syrup...an expensive treat!

Facebook or twitter: Undecided, I have only just joined twitter, but find them equally addictive

My passion: regreattably Eating....oh and of course, sewing!

Getting or giving present; Oh, depends who to..or from really. 

Favourite Pattern:Anything by Collette patterns, vintage patterns cut to fit the modern "fuller figure

Favourite day of the week: Surprisingly Monday.

Favourite flower: It has to be the Dahlia of course.

Favourite celebrity role model: well.... thats a tricky one......I will probably say Kirsty Allsop or Sarah Beeny as neither actually care if they look like XXXX on the television, they like to keep it real :) You go girls!
