The School Run update

just a quick update on 'The School Run' appeal

you may remember this post

I was asking....I still am asking, for handcrafted toys for nursery children in The Gambia

today was most exciting as the first bundle arrived, all the way from Belfast

 I am more than a bit tempted to keep them, but I won't

I love this yellow one the mostest!

Linda of Hey Homewrecker has sent Mr Betty and I, 6 of these loveable critters

how perfect are they!?!

Mr Betty has shared the news over on The School Run Facebook page

and Crafty Mag have very kindly showed their support by blogging about us,

you can find the article here

so please, please support this great charity

I will be without Mr Betty for over a month whilst he makes the journey so I will be a virtual charity case myself ;-)

little makes are just perfect

I will wrap each one up before it leaves on its travels

Myself and the Mr will mention everyone,

 and every gift that we receive

my address is 6, Cunningham Drive, Moss Nook, M225LT

if you would like me to send you a self addressed envelope, just ask!

thank you xxx

Crafty Mag and Me part 2

Hello!

Did you get issue 6 of Crafty Mag?

My home was featured as I mentioned in a previous post, and the lovely people over at Crafty have also added a few extra pics to their blog page.

If you haven't already visited the Crafty Mag blog, you absolutely must...you can find it here

Just by way of having some super professional pics on my blog for a change I thought I would share them here too.

What was mentioned a lot in the article, was how much my home is filled with things that other makers have made.

I love the fact that this came through and I like the fact that I can mention some people whose gorgeous makes appear amongst the pictures in the magazine.

Quite a few cushions and critters made by the lovely Jodi-Jo Retro

Patchwork, Owl, origami birds and macrame made by my besty Little Teawagon

Bird picture by blog friend Hey Homewrecker

Quite a few purchases from one of my most fave shops Lapin and Me

and a cushion made by my gorgeous friend Vanessa of Den at Beechwood

A picture of Ophelia Buttons girls

....and quite a bit of Ikea ;-)

I will not be mentioning my magazine fame anymore for fear of me getting a big head (to go with my big hair).

Tell you what immediately brings any head swelling down....dirty grundys!!

I'm off to do some much needed laundry type chores

btw...Maurice has just been featured in Reloved Magazine

Don't say anything, it is all about Maurice!!!
