DSC # 98 'Embellish It Up

Good Morning Peeps...
I hope you are all well, have you all been enjoying this glorious weather......
been a long time since we had such a long run of hot day's , I think the last hot summer was 1976,
and I was pregnant with my daughter Teresa..... she was born in July.....and god did I feel the heat.... and we went to a catholic wedding about two weeks before she was born, gorgeous ceremony, but boy was it long.... 
Anyhoo what ya all been up to..... although when it is hot like this probably not much !!!!,
Me I have been riding of course making the most of the weather, my veg patch is coming along,
so hopefully soon we will be eating some home grown produce..... Today after going up the yard, I popped in to my daughter Sarah's to have a cuddle of my Great Grandson Harry who was born on the 15th July ...... after which |I returned home switched on the computer, checked my e-mails and found to my delight I have reached Power Seller status on E-Bay .... which I am thrilled about,
then decided to join in with the fun over at 
The Theme this week is to embellish it.....

DSC # 96 'Boys At Play .......

Good Afternoon My Lovlies.....
I hope you are all well and have enjoyed your weekend......
Well the weather has changed a bit today in my little corner of Cornwall....
a tad on the grey side, but still very humid......
For a lot of us it is back to work Monday... for me it is back to work Monday Night....
I need a day in-between Saturday and Sunday don't know about you !!!!!
There just is not enough time to do everything, and being as I am not at all organized,
everything I do seem's to take longer...... how do some people manage !!!!
I am by no means a couch potato... I do lead an active life.... what with working,
on my time of I ride my horse's.... Hubby and I are trying to get a veg patch established, along with everything else that needs to be done....  and neither of us are Spring Chickens.... yesterday was spent in the garden trying to sort out my much needed veg patch...
I had started seeds of in my green house and they desperately needed to be planted out, so come evening time myself and hubby were cream crackerd  and collapsed on the sofa...
but at the end of the day there is nothing more rewarding than seeing something grow that you have nursed yourself.... it's much like crafting.... when you see the finished project and say to yourself I made that, and like me yesterday when I planted out some of the veg I am growing,
 I grew that ..... you get a deep sense of satisfaction..and like my Dear Dad alway's said you only get out of life what you put in.....How True...
Well below is a few pics of my veg patch and also my entry for the challenge over at 
To which I can say to all I did That......( With The Much Needed Help From Hubby )

Lunar Girl Moonbeams Challenge ......VINTAGE SEASHORE / BATHING BEAUTIES

Good Afternoon my Lovelies...
I hope you are all well.....and getting ready for the weekend......
The weather here in my little corner of Cornwall is once again a bit of a mixed bag,
but still very warm.... work has been a nightmare as regards the heat...
as my regular readers are aware I work three night shifts a week in a Care Home,
and it has been stifling, and we are unable to open the windows wide, as they are secure units....
so you can imagine... we had a fan but did not do much, so I am glad to be back out in the fresh air with my horse's.... have not been back that long from the yard, rode both of them, but the flies are a nightmare this year... even though you put fly repellent on them, nothing seem's to work....
that's the problem with having two Black horses...., they are attracted to dark colours.... anyhoo, apart from the dam flies still enjoyed myself.....
and even more good news lunagirlmoonbeams  is back after there Summer Break...
So before I did anything else I made the Design below to enter there challenge which is
I'm of to do a few chores around the house will speak again soon God willing.....

Digitally Sweet Challenges A Day At The Beach......

Good Afternoon My Lovlies.....
I hope you are all well.....
Have you ever had the feeling that there just is not enough hours in the day......
I seem to be having them on a daily basis !!!!
I have got Sooo behind on a lot of things..... my challenge blogs, my crafting, you name it I'm behind on it... so on my return from the stables today I have been trying to play
catch up.... I think the sunshine has a lot to blame for it.....
as all I want to do is to be out in the fresh air, albeit in my garden or riding my horses....
the last thing I seem to want to do is be indoors...maybe if I lived in a country were the sunshine was constant, I would have loads of crafting done and not to mention the other chores I am behind on, but then I probably would be using the excuse that it is to hot to do anything ARGHHH...
there does not seem to be an answer.... 
On a more lighter note I have been able to catch up on my challenge blogs, and have even been able to join in with the fun over at 
the theme this week is at the beach.... have you noticed that I have caught up on the important things..... but NOT such things as the ironing, hoovering, polishing the list goes on....
well I am feeling quite worn out, 
will have to go and sit in the garden with a coffee, and catch my breath....
