Its been a good day!!!!

Lots of things achieved today sorted out the card commission I had last night and been and sourced some more cups and saucers for my candles I've also completed a mother's day pillow which I will be selling for £5 each



Eddie's had a good day I even had a sentance from him today nearly fainted lol When I asked him if he'd had a good day he said 'I've been a good boy' it was as clear as anything I am so proud of him.

Back to the blogger in me lol xx

not been able to blog much wiv one thing and another but hopefully life's back on track and hopefully i will be able to blog each day again xxxx

Eddie has settled back into school well after his illness and as i always said it wasn't me taking him to school it was the noise of the unsettled new children who hav all now settled and eddie is less upset when he sees the classroom shock horror i know my son better than his teacher!!!!!!

On the downside he has decided that 3am is an appropriate time to get up which i am afraid is totally killing me i am having to go back to bed for an hour after the school run or i would never get through the day he however seems to be able to keep going till bedtime grrrr.

I have been making my scented candles in tea cups and expresso cups these are £5 for the tea cups and £3-50 for the expresso cups the design of the china depends what i can source so are individual

Teacup

How they come gift wrapped

Expresso cup

I have also been dabbaling with greetings cards i have made 8 cards to see how people feel about them what do u guys think? will be charging £2 per card.

This has taken forever to add a pic so i won't be able to add the others for i would throw the computer out of the window xxx

1st Day Back At School woohoo

Well Eddie's gone back to school today and he went in no problems after I had worried myself silly all night expecting a massive battle this morning. He had a little fight over the uniform(he put it away twice) but once it was on he was fine even putting his socks and shoes and I was shocked to say the least lol

Having a go at candle making gonna look for some tea cups to make them in ready for mother's day i think i need to change the xstitch in Rachel's Xstitch Creations to handmade doy u guys lol xxx

Finally back to normal

well its been a horrid few weeks As Eddie has had a nasty ear an throat infection he lost his voice for 2 days and stopped eating which was horrid I really would rather be ill myself than the little ones but Eddie especially as he can't tell me whats wrong. To make matters harder my in laws were away so had to rope in the wider family cudn't of done it without them.

so lets see whats been happening that i haven't had time to tell you all :-

1. when his voice returned we had 3 new words Pingu, Picking and Nanny....
2. Had his review at school which was very positive he is doing really well with his swimming and 
    doesn't need 1:1 anymore (which considering he wudn't even go near water before he started in april
    is amazing ) he is using his pecs(picture exchange communication skills) so well he has moved upto
    the next stage using a sentence strip. and they are introducing him to the maths programme as his
    love of numbers is totally apparent. he can put the numbers 1-10 in order and is trying to count
    making a good sound for each number. he has learnt to peddle a bike and is now using the toilet
    rather than pullups cudn't of asked for a better review his targets for the next year are to answer the
    register and to identify his own name. One very proud mummy and daddy here xxxx
3. took Ben swimming for the 1st time with his little pal and his mummy which i was amazed he loved
    we did have a little struggle over the trunks as he didn't understand cas he has to wear nothing in the
    bath and we were going in a big bath lol when i explained he put them on and had a fab time when
    we got home he said 'mummy we must go again' bless him we are goin on monday.
4. Have ordered some new wooden plaques to decorate and make look fab to add to my product range
    pillow orders are comin in at a steady flow and have booked a stall at a local craft fayre in may also
    discussed with the PTFA i am on for Eddie's school the possiblity of paying to have a stall at the
    summer fayre so lots of exciting business things happening.
5. This Thursday just gone Was our 5th wedding anniversery time flies when life's this good xxxxx

Well i think i will sign off now and get some well earned sleep as Eddie is at hotel Nanny for the night and i should get w whole nights sleep woop woop goodnight all
