Sunny Sunday doings

Today marked the start of the cricket season. Grr, cricket is not one of my favourite sports! But Angus was team captain and very excited! So, being a dedicated mummy I got up ridiculously early to watch him play. It was a 20/20 game, such a relief - more action, less time! He had a great game, taking two wickets in an over and stumping another batsman with a dead eye throw that curved around the umpire and lifted the bales to delighted roars from his team mates and parents. I'm sure his form was directly related to the fact his father is a soft touch and bought the long coveted cricket shoes. Stay tuned for a LO about those soon :)

Yesterday marked the end of the SFS sketchaday comp. I think I ran out of steam towards the end but I got my last two LOs in the nick of time!

As you know I'm a wee bit addicted to handmade embellishments (sadly not by my own fair hand) and for this LO I think I used something from three of my crafty favs - an MVB, A Lil Something and Purple Pumpkin :)

And here's a close up of the sweet China Girl button I used as this is another of my Hong Kong LOs.

And this is the LO - my sisters in the Temple Street Temporary Rest Garden. We were all really puzzled the first time we came across one of these signs as the park looked quite old and well used, it was only later that we realised it was the rest that was temporary, not the garden - lost in translation lol. Oh and this is sketch 11 - it got lost too! I used some Mr Huey's mist on this one and I'm sold - great stuff!

Sorry about the quality of the pics for the next two LOs - the weather was dreary and they ended up looking a tad washed out.

Sketch 24 - A silly LO of the kids trying to convince our dog and my sister's dog to pose for a photo - the dogs were far more focused on pushing each other off Zoe's lap.

And lucky last Sketch 29 - another doggy number. I kept this one simple as I was a bit overwhelmed by the glitter paper and it was almost impossible to get anything to stick to the silly stuff. I had to Pritt my photos down :0

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week!
