The day a Supahero came to stay!

Well, who would have thought that a trans-Atlantic trip from Canada would take about 7 weeks?! Well, it did, but finally he arrived, my Hero!

I soon put him to work in the garden,

he helped me harvest some strawberries:

and then we checked the broadbeans for greenfly:

Then, well, he kind of got distracted by a ladybird:

Then another distraction came along....

She eventually gave in...

And they wandered off into the sunset together!!

This Supahero is now back home with it's creator Gina Rahman!

TopCat's Corner

Finally, may I have a drum roll please? I've opened a store on Folksy, yay me!!

It's taken a little longer than I anticipated, but I've got there in the end. I'll be selling sock toys (of course!) and lots of other crafty yumminess for kids. I'll be sure to keep you posted here with new stocks and possible giveaways too!

Here's a few examples of my store items:

Stop by and have a browse!

You can now follow me on Twitter: {Tracey Chorley on Twitter}
I have also created a fan page on Facebook which you are welcome to "like!" and share with your friends!: {TopCat's Corner}

Right, well I'm off to enjoy the sunny weather and tackle the stinging nettles in the garden. I also have an OCD urge to sort out my fabric stash! I wonder which will I'll end up doing?!

Double dud!

Wow, where's the last week gone? Flown by in a blur I think! Easter was pretty mental here, lots of "popping out" to "just do this" and friends for lunch, then it was gone. We are finally finally getting a new kitchen, hurrah! Colin's parents were very kind and have helped us out, our kitchen was the original one put in the house when it was built, in 1992. It is falling apart, oh and it's white and grey, bleugh.

So, that was our Easter... I'm currently working on a new venture/adventure, a TopCat folksy store, YAY!! So watch this space. I'm working on lots of fun things for kiddies bedrooms (however, if you wish to buy them for yourself, I won't tell, promise!). There will be some sock toys of course, but also quilted yumminess, framed prettiness, funky fleece... oh I could go on and tell you all, but then I'd have to kill you!!! (Said in my best mock-James-Bond-villain voice!)

Seeing as I just can't post without a picture, I thought I'd share Robyn showing her latest party trick - the double dud! (She calls her dummy a dud, I don't know how/why but she does and who am I to argue?!)

Happy Wednesday folks, I know it's a bit grey out there but I've been assured that from tomorrow we should have lots of sunny weather, hurrah!!
