I link to several stores in the UK and US and as of July 1, 2017 I am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, Amazon UK, Ellen Hutson (store retiring), and (as of April 2022) The Greetery - this means that when you click on an affiliate link and go on to make a purchase I will receive a small percentage at no cost to you. Money raised through affiliate links will go straight towards my crafting fund. Finally, please note that any products marked "(r)" are retired and may no longer be available for sale online.

A quick catch-up!

Because, amazingly, it's almost the weekend again! :D

So after my little crafty session on Good Friday playing with those very lush Vintage Flower stamps and dies by Altenew...

...not much happened creatively - however more crafty temptation arrived in the post!

My fab surprise prize from Lil' Inker Designs for my entry in their March challenge arrived safe and sound this side of the pond:

I am really looking forward to creating something with this canvas die - I just need to suss out whether I have any watercolour paper about the place and what my watercolour paint status is looking like. :)

Oh, and I could do with another day in the week - ideally one that could be devoted entirely to sticking and stamping!

Following my spring cleaning antics on Saturday it was into full on Easter mode. We have had glorious weather up here ever since - 19 degrees today! Nineteen! NINE-TEEN! Yes!

We had a lovely Easter Sunday, just me and the parentals (my brother was on his stag weekend in Munich and Kate was enjoying Easter with her family), and a full on spread of food (of course!).

The traditional Polish decorated wooden eggs came out and ma had fun playing with her egg dyes and little sleeves in folk designs that were kindly sent over from Poland by Agnieszka - she knows what we like! We'll be on the hunt for white eggs next year - so hard to find these days, but perfect for decorating and dyeing:

Naturally vodka was served with breakfast (breakfast having commenced at 11 a.m. so it was all ok...):

At some point in the day Ma brought out the real pièce de résistance!

The apple crumble cheesecake:

I didn't think it possible, but she has perfected the recipe even more!

I heard that my dad polished off the last slice of it on Monday... hm... considering only 3 people ate this cake, and half of it was still on the cake stand Sunday evening I'm inclined to believe I know who the chief culprit for the early disappearance of this cake was!

He who professes not to have a sweet tooth!

But anyway, it was soon back to work time but last night I had a lovely day-after-birthday-celebrating meal out with Zoe followed by a cinema outing.

A lovely way to enjoy a Wednesday night.

And now, it's time to zoom on over to my mum and dad's for dinner to enjoy more left-overs from Easter breakfast in time for tonight's Arrow watch with my dad. :D

Oh, and guess who's coming to stay next week?
