Face Painting...

Face painting happend on Sunday - for one very good reason...
I have (yet another) bout of food poisoning (urrggghh) - "want to know how to drop a dress size or 2, in 7 painful days?....." So all child-inspired activities are, at present, on a 'stay at home' and 'stay seated' basis!!
Isn't she great?
She wanted to do her own face....

And this is the child that rarely EVER sits still!

The straight back...

The concentration...

Soooooo cute x

And THEN, that horrifying moment "Mummy, can i paint your face?"

mmmm yes / no / yes / no / yes / go on then...

Well, she was happy :)

I wish i had shown you the REST of our bodies - before i ran that huge bubble bath for us both!!

It would have been too revealing to share my friends x

Ugh, Face painting and Food poisoning.

I am literally off to bed now to continue dying a slow and smelly death.

I am going away for a few days...

...and as if by MAGIC, the craft gods smiled on me and just LOOK what the postman passed me this morning... three yummy crafty and inspiring publicatoins. I only took them from their cellophane to photograph for you - they have gone straight into my overnight suitcase all readyfor my trip... And as a sort of 'p.s' i meant to tell you - i was given the Cath Kidston MAKE! book for my birthday the other week.
Like many designer / makers / crafters i was ready to 'hate it'... but i don't! It is fun and inspiring and cute and full of easy little projects. I like it!

It is just like most of my other craft books... i have no plans to make anything specific from them, but i like the ideas and the photography and the whole concept. A bit of crafty eye-candy never hurt anyone x

A glimpse into Cath's latest catalogue... i will be swooning over this with my Mum and my Sister on our mini-weekday break...

So, .... where am i going? ummmm - don't go hating on me just because I am having a break and i so very much deserve it...

Don't go hating on me because all i will need to take is clean pants, a few good reads and the items below:

I am going to 'Champneys' darling x if you please - HERE to be precise.

What was long ago termed a 'spa' and is now a 'health farm' or 'relaxation break'...

hooray for me, my sis and my mum - we do try to go away every year at least for one night but this year we have managed 2 nights.

It might sound like a boast but it really isn't x promise! We haven't hadn't a proper holiday in years and this was a birthday treat for each of us who have a birthday within 3 weeks of each other. It is our Mummy and Daughter love-in time and i hope one day i will do such things with my girl? But, for now, she can have 'Daddy Time' as THIS is grown-up ladies only! x x x
