My Grandson, Henry!

I recently returned from a visit to England after spending precious time with the newest member of our family - Henry. Named after my father he is every bit as placid and happy and an absolute delight to be with.
I'm missing everyone very much but I'm just getting back to making miniatures which helps cheer me up. I haven't anything ready to show yet, so here instead is my dear little grandson, Henry.

I just love him to bits!
Here he is with me in the park.

I hope you're enjoying your weekend.

Family Time

So much has happened the past few weeks that I'm almost unable to remember it all!
I went to England for three weeks and stayed with an old friend in Surrey for the first week where we shopped, ate and talked too much! Then two weeks visiting my mother, my children, other friends and of course my darling grandsons who celebrated their first birthday at the end of February. You will notice they don't look alike!

I stayed with the newly-weds, my daughter and husband who made me very welcome, cooked me wonderful meals and my daughter brought me a cup of tea in bed in the mornings! My daughter will miss me - she always does, her husband will miss that I'm not eating all his muesli now!
As much as I enjoy spending precious time with my family and I miss them all when we're apart, I am always so pleased to be home again and looking forward to my next visit!

Taking a Break

Just to let you know that I am unable to access my email account for a few days so don't worry if you can't see your comment yet - it will be added and you will be included in the draw! Thank you for all the comments so far and welcome to all the new followers, amazing!

It looks as if my Etsy shop has disappeared but that's because I'm having a short break and I've switched it to 'holiday mode' which is a bit of a joke really as a holiday with family and friends is very hard work! Shopping with my friend for two full days, the twins 1st birthday party, mending son's jeans, son-in-law's shirts, and ironing and cleaning just like Cinderella for the step mother and ugly sisters is all very tiring! Ha ha, I make it sound like I have to earn my keep but I love to help while they work and when they're home my daughter treats me with all little presents and they cook delicious meals!  (The thing I hate most is cooking, so that's wonderful).

I hope you are all enjoying making your miniatures, I know I shall be in desperate need of some mini therapy when I get back but I'm having a lovely time at the moment, depite the rain.....rain.....rain.....

Bye for now!
