a little quickie

what do you do when you should be doing something else? 

sew of course

i should be packing / shopping for our family trip here

but instead i made a very quick cover for my new camera strap! used up a few scraps & made the rest up as i went along, i would do it differently if i ever get round to making another one, but this will brighten up my camera for now, now back to the packing

let the celebrating begin!

the birthday bunting is up & we start the family birthday season with mine, i had felt very little excitement about my birthday this year, which i had put done to turning 33, however when i woke this morning & was treated to a lie by my hubs, i just couldn't get back to sleep, so either i'm just so used to getting up before 7am, or i was a teeny tiny bit excited about today, 

& what a lovely day i've had, i've been treated to a very special  present, which i'm really looking forward to getting to know my way round, having only ever used an old SLR, this DSLR is a real treat, 

& after a spot of shopping & lunch in Chichester, we came home & had a birthday tea in the garden

mmmmmm, cream cakes & then a little knitting in the garden, 

my perfect day!
