As all my friends will know I'm a bit of a sci-fi geek, so spending my birthday at the Dr Who exhibition in Cardiff was a great day out.  The place was great fun, even if you don't have children. It starts with an interactive journey experience through different sets and into the tardis.  Then you move through into the museum, which is full of goodies and baddies from the different series going right back to the beginning.

 Which is your favourite Dr?  I guess most of us will always favour the one that we most remember from our childhood.  The one that made you hide behind the sofa or under the cushion. For me who could forget the scarf!

 

 

And what about the baddies?

 

 

 

 

A Dalek completely made completely out of lego was still spooky. 

 

Then what about the cybermen, stone angles or the Oods, what makes you jump into the air?  Remember not to blink!

 Of course you can't discuss Dr who anymore without mentioning the new Dr's.
 

 
They have brought it back into the our consciousness and it has been great travelling through time and the cosmos again. Even if I no longer hide behind the sofa. 

silent sunday

pottering in the garden

Well what a day, despite the weather forecast being for rain and snow showers, I decided to go out into the garden and have a little play.  

My fruit plants needed a little t-l-c, so I tidied them up a bit, re-strung the raspberries, added compost and soil food to them and the blueberries, blackberries and pear tree.

  Potted on the strawberry runners from last year into a couple of plant pots. One of which came all the way from New Zealand.














The little man always reminds me of our time there and the friends we made. Some of whom were from the UK too, but unlike us they made their lives in that beautiful country so far away.

After my little reminisce it was time to plant some seeds so in went the cucumber, red salad, lettuce, rocket, spinach, tomato, cosmos and sunflower seeds.

 











Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have a whole bunch of little plants that are going to be full of yummy goodness or will grow into beautiful flowers.


It just goes to show that a day that starts grey can become full of life and sunshine.

life, love and crafting

 

 

Well I've been at it again making a few cards, some on commission and some for my wobblymouse selection box.

 

Mr photography and I have been attending some weddings with family so I made some cards for mummy and grannymouse. What made it really fun was that I got to make them with mum when she visited for her birthday.

 

We got all the bits out on the table, chose colours, toppers, layers and then the words we wanted inside.  Thinking about the love and hope that two people are showing when they decide to spend the rest of their lives together.  Plus it is so much fun to get together with old friends and family whilst making new ones too. 

  

 

 

 

 

For the wobblymouse store box birthday cards butterflies, flowers, pussycats and boofle. 

 

 

 Using a combination of hunkydory and  docraft collections, and experimenting with my joy cutting machine, inks and promakers. I had fun thinking of celebrating the years passing and life's experiences growing.  

 

 













Making cards to share with friends, letting them know that there is a special day that we celebrate them.

Well the weather has turned cold again and with that I have started knitting I found some rather interesting wool. It really makes a lovely long and snuggly scarf to protect from all the snow and ice.

 

Well that's the wobblymouse crafty news, other than I had a lovely visit to the Hunkydory cafe in Newport and had some amazing cake, buying some to take to work for my colleagues to enjoy too.  If you are ever in Newport for lunch I really recommend it - very yummy selection of freshly made vegetarian dishes by my blogging buddy allotment to kitchen.
