Text of the page (random words):
one would like to pop along and grab a bargain you can find jan through her blog here and a quick round up of events in the last couple of weeks i am trying to keep up with the emails and messages but do still have a couple to reply to so if you have messaged me and i have yet to respond please don t think i am ignoring you or that i have already upped sticks last week was superbusy i had a fabulous ladies that lunch afternoon on tuesday with the tuesday girls we all met in a local pub restaurant and had a gorgeous meal lots and lots of chatting catching up and of course girlie giggles we were busy doing another stint in the attic on wednesday with another 8 black bin bags finding their way to the tip and another 3 large bags being donated to our local hospice shop i am starting to see a little progress now and the whole decluttering is not quite so daunting i am loving my new voluntary job on thurdays i work with some real characters and am kept incredibly busy and out of mischief of course mothers day at the weekend meant another meal out yum yum thankyou neil and thankyou to the kids love you all so much xxx lots of other things happening at home already this week but nothing i can share on here just yet maybe in a few days when things have settled down and the dust has settled regarding the move things are progressing nicely we are grateful the process is taking longer than the four weeks our buyers insisted on at the beginning as per usual the solicitors are toing and froing at their own pace which suits me just fine as i rustle about in the eaves digging out trash and treasures love and attic adventures tracey xxx shared by the dolphin inn at 10 53 am 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest wednesday 11 march 2015 dash hello it has been an unexpected day not in the way that it is wednesday and i was waking up believing it was tuesday but in the way that you wake up have plans and the day or event is entirely different to how you imagined it was going to be today we said goodbye to my uncle dave married to my mum s sister and dad to my most favourite cousin i know you shouldn t have favourites but phil is and will always be my favourite cousin for pasts shared and an unspoken knowledge that we will always be there for each other no matter what i made this card for phil and his family i kept the card simple a masculine shade of deep charcoal against white pearlescent the unexpected part of the day was the funeral all went according to plan phil s partner recited a thought provoking poem and one of uncle dave s friends and associates in his masonic lodge got up to say a few words and there was the unexpected the words uttered by uncle dave s friends and associates tales of humour loyalty dedication respect and of a life i never even glimpsed i sat thinking of the mosaic each of us creates with our lives our friends our hopes and our dreams we build relationships and share a part of ourselves with each of the people we welcome into our lives each of those people have a totally exclusive view of us and each relationship is as individual as a handmade tile our mosaics are created by the characters we choose to invite into our existence and they are cemented into place by a common love ideal dream or connection a diversely rich and utterly unique creation our life as seen by all those who know us rip uncle dave god bless you i will leave you with the words spoken by phil s partner caz a very well known poem and in my humble opinion a very poignant reminder to us all the dash by linda ellis copyright 1996 i read of a man who stood to speak at the funeral of a friend he referred to the dates on the tombstone from the beginning to the end he noted that first came the date of birth and spoke the following date with tears but he said what mattered most of all was the dash between those years for that dash represents all the time that they spent alive on earth and now only those who loved them know what that little line is worth for it matters not how much we own the cars the house the cash what matters is how we live and love and how we spend our dash so think about this long and hard are there things you d like to change for you never know how much time is left that can still be rearranged if we could just slow down enough to consider what s true and real and always try to understand the way other people feel and be less quick to anger and show appreciation more and love the people in our lives like we ve never loved before if we treat each other with respect and more often wear a smile remembering that this special dash might only last a little while so when your eulogy is being read with your life s actions to rehash would you be proud of the things they say about how you spent your dash love and dashes tracey xxx shared by the dolphin inn at 9 37 pm 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 6 march 2015 birthdays wishes times two good evening i am back today to share a couple of birthday cards i made about three weeks ago now both were for special friends who celebrated their birthdays in february just like yours truly in both instances i used new to me papers and kept the designs fairly simple i actually had 7 cards to make the evening i made these and managed to complete all 7 i have been enjoying another busy week tuesday afternoon was reserved for my regular coffee and biscuits with the girls we had a couple missing but it s still nice to meet and catch up with my tuesday girls we haven t achieved any crafting at all since christmas but we seem to fill the time with chatting quite easily wednesday was a day designated to reorganising marie kondo style more of that in another post i am a convert wait until you see my t shirt drawer thursday i spent the day helping at the st andrews charity shop in cleethorpes i have been there a few weeks now and love it mum is there too so it s extra special spending a little time with her also all seems to be progressing with the move so far this week i have started the application for aj s new school submitted all the forms for the solicitors with regards to the purchase and begun the massive downsizing required to fit all our stuff into the new cottage more craftiness to share over the weekend not sure how long it will be before all my stash will have to be boxed up i might have to get a little crafting in before it all gets stored away any excuses to take a break from the sorting and decluttering love and craftiness

i made a couple of weeks ago but you don t need to be a genius to work that out the clue is in the sentiment i have a few more cards that i have yet to share so i will be back later in the week with some more craftiness to share with you love and lovehearts tracey xxx shared by the dolphin inn at 7 30 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest friday 27 february 2015 the boy turns 15 hello readers at certain times we are forced to stop and take stock not forced to like our mothers grabbing us by the back of our dresses when we were running far too fast through the living room whistling past her favourite ornament but forced to stop by a momentary thought to pause and reflect think back to a point in time that maybe changed our lives in some significant or maybe even insignificant manner my baby boy the youngest in our little family aj this week turned 15 and yes remembering 25th february 2000 caused me to take a break from manic form filling loft emptying cupboard thinning and generally looking busy but not really getting anywhere aj s arrival was definitely of the significant category and i couldn t be prouder of the young man he is growing into here is the card i made for him i used dies to cut the stars sorry can t remember which brand the stamps are both by stampin up as is the silver glitter paper aj recently had his check up with the paediatrician regarding his coeliac disease and his gluten free diet as a matter of course his height and weight are checked and we were delighted with the results aj has grown over three inches in the last year and now stands a very proud 6 2 and his weight has increased from a very low 7st to a much healthier 9st 4lb he is still incredibly thin but the gain is a clear indicator that his body is now absorbing essential nutrients that had been restricted by his coeliac disease when his stomach was damaged before diagnosis the improved absorption indicates that his stomach has healed and his diet is working well as long as he remains strict with his eating he will continue to improve and flourish i am wondering just how tall he is going to end up now his body is receiving and utilising all his food properly i have often read about the healing power of animals but am not foolish enough to think that this alone is enough that being said i do believe that this little lady has helped immeasurably with aj s well being sox came to us as a 2 year old and had been reared as a house cat she resides mostly in aj s command centre also commonly known as his bedroom sox loves aj above all else except maybe whiskers salmon nibbles and aj loves sox above all else except maybe his macbook and daim bars love and kitty kisses tracey xxx shared by the dolphin inn at 9 52 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday 23 february 2015 devon and cornwall 2015 hi as promised i am back with the photos from out recent little trip away please feel free to skip if you are here solely for crafting inspiration as most of you are now aware our house has sold within a couple of weeks of going on the market and we were delighted to get full asking price the buyers only stipulation was that they could have vacant possession within four to five weeks soooooooo as we madly run around like headless chickens blue arsed flies and all other manic going around in circles creatures you can think of we decided we really needed to find somewhere to live for a very long time it has been our dream to retire to the south coast preferably devon or cornwall we just didn t think we would both be retiring in our forties instead of our sixties the big man upstairs definitely works in mysterious ways but as granny often said everything happens for a reason we booked a couple of days in okehampton for the devon leg of our expedition and the first stop on our mini tour was brixham the harbour was very pretty and we had a glorious day full of sunshine a pantomime dame took a shine to neil and aj i steered well clear as she reminded me of a clown we were booked in to see a property but it didn t live up to the very artistic photos on the sales credentials and although we liked brixham for a day out it wasn t a place we felt would be a forever home next up was a sleepy little harbour town called combe martin which boasts the longest street in the country the house we looked at was on said street and was a strong contender but we felt being on a main road would have distinct disadvantages especially in the tourist season the beach was small but perfectly formed now apparently it had to be replaced after last years storms washed the entire beach and all it s sand away we liked combe martin it was very quaint the locals were all lovely and the local pub did an amazing array of food at very reasonable prices with a really good gluten free selection if you are ever in the area i urge you to try the pack o cards they were especially accommodating to aj who was even offered gluten free apple pie and home made eggy custard yummmmm next up was ilfracombe this is where bruce had his first foray into the sea water and loved it neil and aj played with him for ages and he dived in and out of the surf after thrown rocks and sticks again no luck with the houses here but a lovely day out regardless and we will definitely be coming back to explore this lovely town a little more we left our lodgings in okehampton and crossed the border into cornwall we were booked to stay in a villa at millendreath just a mile and a half away from looe it humoured us to travel each day through a tiny village called no man s land we had three properties to view in looe looking towards east looe across the bridge we adored this gorgeous town but alas none of the properties were suitable we also decided this was much more a day out rather than a to live place the boy and i notice that my fourteen year old now makes me look like a midget at 5 9 i seldom feel short but out with the three men in my life i definitely feel vertically challenged by the way beryl that scarf never came off it was so cosy thankyou xxx we then ventured to the very charming charlestown and this is where we found our favourite house we have put in an offer but the vendors have concerns about finding somewhere as they haven t looked yet so we are not going to hold our breaths but please keep everything crossed as we love this little house if it all comes to fruition i will share details but don t want to tempt fate just yet the spotless beaches and rugged coastlines make my heart sing and i cannot imagine not living near the sea we were all mesmerised by the rhythmic lapping of waves seagull calls and smell of ozone after each days house hunting we retreated back to our lovely villa overlooking black rock beach this view greeted us warmly each morning as we awoke to the sound of nature only the final two places we wanted to visit not necessarily to house hunt more just to do the touristy thing were polperro and finally mevagissey we had an amazing time away we travelled miles and miles and we learnt a lot about where we would like to live and where we would rather just visit for the day we enjoyed some lovely food couldn t leave without partaking of the local cider a cornish pastie or two and of course a cream tea would have been rude not to my boy and the dog were best mates the whole time inseparable and were soooooo good not one complaint from either of them not the best quality pic ever moving car funny backward angle and awful light but this sums up what travelling meant for my boy and the dog aj on the laptop catching up on dexter and the dog on aj catching up on his zzzzz s after all that frolicking on all those beaches sorry ann i know this photo will torment you xxx daylight at the villa meant sea watching for the dog mesmerised and dreaming of playing in the surf and my
