Hello again


Hello lovely bloggy friends, its been such a long time since I popped by here, I hope you are all fine and dandy, life just seems to be flying by and I can't believe were nearly in Autumn
The family are all well, my youngest has started secondary school now and is settling in well and making lots of new friends, my other daughter is just about to start her second year at York university studying crime and criminal justice and social policies and my son is now a fully qualified electrician and is also doing an electrical engineering  course at college and is moving on to another job more in this field of work so they are all doing well I am pleased to say


My small business is still ticking along but I had to take on another job to help with the money situation, I've had so many ideas and dreams but like most things they all take cash to carry them through and the children and paying the bills come first, I still do a lot of sewing on my days off and every evening you will find me in the corner of my bedroom sewing away




Summer seemed to go by in a flash, we had such glorious weather throughout, we don't have a garden  but a small yard which is filled with pots and is a real sun trap






As always here are some things I've been making recently, I've even started on some Christmas makes which I will show you next time, all my things are available to buy via my shop links below

Thank you for popping by and hope to be back here soon much love Francine xxx

New year

Hello lovely bloggy friends that's if i still have any still, it's been such a long time and a belated Happy new year, it's flown by since my last post way back in July
I know a lot of people don't blog any more which is such a shame i think but there are so many other sites nowadays like Instagram that people use more like myself but i will always keep my little blog i like the fact i can add whatever pictures and stories  i like, i understand that people just run out of things to say i suppose but i hope you remain with me here and i hope to post more regularly




















Well my little bunting business continues to grow i decided to make it a separate business to my Patchwork and lace one to fully concentrate on buntings for all occasions and nothing else , it is hard to compete as so many people are making buntings so i am always trying to think of new ideas to keep up to date if you fancy a look at my shop the link is www.etsy.com/shop/lovesbunting

My little family above my son is now a qualified Electrician and is also doing a course at college to be an electrical engineer and is working hard ,my eldest daughter is now at York university studying crime and criminal justice and social policies and has just passed her driving test and my youngest is in her last year at primary, i am incredibly proud of them all, the little baby is my neice who is adorable


I  have so many unfinished projects on the go , i'm really trying to sort through them all and get them finished this patchwork star quilt is one i'm trying to get finished at the moment and i live it and will be keeping this one for sure


It's so cold here at the moment , i cannot wait for the warmer weather to come , the winters seem so long and our house is quite a cold one with draughty windows so it always feels cold , roll on summer
well that's all for now, i will leave you with a few homey pictures as always and thank you for popping by to see me and all your lovely comments
