The Great British Bake Off

Tuesday nights are my absolute favourite night on TV at the moment, and that's purley down to one show, The Great British Bake Off. But alas my enjoyment will be short lived as tonight is the last show in the series; the final, which happens to be an afternoon tea party :o) YIPPEE. Already brimming with anticipation here. Roll on 8 o-clock BBC2.

And look what arrived in the post today. The book to accompany the show which I ordered on Sunday. Look at the eye candy!!!! Vintage crockery, Emma Bridgewater tins, and on the show every colour of magi mix imaginable and smeg fridges galore, not to mention oodles of pretty bunting. It's got to be every girls dream hasn't it? I can't wait to get baking from the book. I think I'll start with Miranda's Vanilla Biscuits. I need to get me some of those gorgeous girly cutters, e-bay here I come.

Also giving me much enjoyment this week are the bargains I picked up from the banana bookshop on Sunday. I've been hankering after these two books for a while. Mainly for the vintage-ness of them. And at only £4.98 for the two, they jumped straight into my basket.

And then these jumped in too ''The wonderful weekend book'' I have already flicked through and it looks great and the other two look a good read too. Having seen so much on ''Pay it forward'' in blog land I couldn't resist this book. All three for £5 again a bargain I think. :0)

Last but certainly not least adding to this weeks enjoyment factor has to be the new Cath catalogue. Full to the brim with lovelies. I'd do a wish list, but basically I want it all! If you ladies spotted the large Provence jug in the pages which was priced at £15 and can't seem to be able to order it, it's because it's not available until November :o(  I phoned them and asked, cos I really wanted it.

Well that's it for now folks, hope your all having a lovely week.

Cheers My Dears!

Firstly I would like to say a big thank you to all those who left a comment on my last post, its lovely to know you care. I was on a real downer and feeling sorry for myself. My Eeyore day turned into a few Eeyore days, with the arrival of a horrible head cold blecchhh. Thankfully the past day or so I'm feeling much better. Still a bit congested but on the road back to normal. (Not that you can really call me normal :o) on a different note I spotted this handmade bag on e-bay last week so I thought I'd bid and what do you know I was the highest bidder so this little beauty now belongs to me. I love the CK Rosali print so pretty.

I've turned into a little bookworm this past week. Due to the feeling poorly and not wanting to do anything I just had plenty of rest with a book or three. As you all probably know I'm a huge Vampire fan, I so adored the Twilight saga and desperately wanted more. I then discovered the (House of Night Novels). I've just finished hunted which is book 5 with 2 more to go. They are a great read, nice and fast paced which I like, they are a little on the young side, but enjoyable nevertheless. I then discovered A Hunger Like No Other ), by Kresley Cole which was also brilliant. I finished this a while ago but recently got myself book 2 in the series No Rest for the Wicked . This was even better than the first book. Much more grown up. Lots of hot vampire and Valkyrie action, and steamy sex scenes. I think I would go as far to say that paranormal romance is now my favourite type of book! I can't wait to read the next book in the series. In fact I'm hoping it will be delivered today, along with the next two after that. The other book I've read this week is In Her Bed (The Dragons of Challon, Book 2). This was another discovery I found on amazon. This time an historical romance but again a great fast paced read with lots of steamy scenes. I do hope my books turn up today!! If you know of any other books you'd like to recommend please leave a comment, and let me know.

Well that's enough babbling from me.

Pics for Little Gem......

I'm so glad everyone enjoyed the pics I posted yesterday. We all need a bit of eye candy from time to time :o).



Not enough pics for Little Gem though, she wanted to see inside the book too! So here you go Little Gem, a sneaky peek of some pics inside my ''sewing in no time'' book.

We have quite a few signed up for the Easter Springtime swap, but if your sitting on the sidelines and fancy having a go, why not put you name in the hat? Go on you know you want to! :o) xxxxxxxxxx

Magazine Eye Candy......

I ordered this book from Amazon a little while back, and it arrived today. If you haven't already got it, I can recommend it. Theres lots of lovely patterns and instructions to make everyday household things, such as cushions, peg bags, blinds, pillow cases etc. I can't wait to start making.

Now for some eye candy........................

I hope you enjoyed! xxx

Look what I've got....

I ordered these two books from the book club that comes around to the school. The CK book was only £5 and Jamie was £10. I shall be kept busy for hours now.
I love the apron and the Stanley hottie.

Will be making these dishes they look scrummy.

Just put a few bits on etsy, but having problems with the pics. I'm putting them on the e-bay setting of my camera, so that they arn't too many pixels, but they are very fuzzy. I want to use the macro mode on the camera to get close ups, but then the files too big aaaggghhh. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. xxxx I've also received an award and been tagged, so will try and put that on here later. Have a nice day all. xxx Pixie xxx
