St Andrews, big girls bed and more

Today: Finally the crocuses have opened. It was a lovely day so we could play out in the garden, Amy took photos with her pretend camera, I took ones with my real camera. 

March 9th: OK, so I was lacking in inspiration, but hey, they're cute. They're standing on our mantelpiece at the moment.

March 8th: We've now taken the side off Amy's cot, she's doing really well. Hoping to buy her a big girl bed soon.

March 7th: Today's assignment in the digiscrapping course I'm doing was to take a photo of something that meant a lot to us. I chose this sheep, I got it at a jumble sale when I was about 8.

March 6th: We spent the day in St Andrews, it's got so many gorgeous buildings. I took loads of photos, but love this one. Isn't this the coolest bit to drive through!

March 5th: Everyone seems to have a photo of the moon one day in their 365, so here's mine lol.

Crocuses in the snow

So my crocuses were just thinking it was safe to come out when it snowed again. Not much, but enough.

Keys, nursery, buds, bath toys and Kaz

I know, I haven't been on here for a few days. I'm keeping up with taking the photos, just don't always have time to upload them, especially at the weekends. Anyway, here's today's photo. I like our keyhook, but it sits in an alcove in our hall which is quite dark. So, I changed the photo to sepia, then recoloured the keyrings. I quite like the effect.

March 2nd: Today was a big day. We've registered Amy for nursery. I can't believe she's 2 1/2 already. We visited a couple of the local nurseries last week, and one really stood out. Now we just have to wait till May to find out if she gets a place there.

March 1st: While playing out in the garden with Amy I noticed that the flowering currant has lots of buds. It's one of the earliest flowers in the garden.

Feb 28th: Amy loves having a bath, but HATES having her hair washed. I do like the bright colours of the bath toys, the large duck in the middle was bought for Peter's dad by his mum while they were dating.

Feb 27th: Went into town today to meet up with Kaz. Amy adores her, we had a great day, and I got a gorgeous new dress. We even stayed out for dinner, when Kaz's friend Gillian joined us. 

Matchbox

One of the swaps I'm in on UKS is 'If it fits in a matchbox-the big one'. The idea is to fill a Swan Vesta matchbox with stash, decorate it, and send it to another member of the swap. I spent this evening decorating the box, ready to post tomorrow.

Blue Sky

The weather today was lovely (most of the time). I liked the white fluffy clouds, so that's my photo of the day.

It's kind of an optimistic photo too, I know a few people for whom things aren't going so well, so I hope things get better soon for them.

Here's yesterday's photo. My mum's just got a new car, and I remembered to take one photo while I had a sit inside. Somehow I then forgot to take any photos from outside. Ah well.

Amy's boots

I love these boots of Amy's. She doesn't wear them as often as her welly boots, which I will also take a photo of at some time.

We played out in the garden for a while today. Amy was most impressed to see crocuses now growing where she had plunked mud and water last week to 'help the flowers'. I know it's coincidence, but these are the lucky tricks that keep kids happy:D.

Ravenscraig castle

This ruined castle sits on the edge of our village. Unfortunately it's hard to get close to it as I'd love to explore it. Apparently it's been a ruin for centuries, but before that it belonged to a Godfrey de Ross in the 12th century.

The weather was lovely today so after a relaxed morning we went out for a long walk.
