<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This month has been as exciting month here especially for me as I went to see two of my favourite bands, <u>twice</u>. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I saw on Facebook last year that there would be a tour featuring three British rock bands from the 90's. The tour named BritRock Must Be Destroyed features The Wildhearts, Reef and Terrorvision. I've been a big fan of Terrorvision and The Wildhearts long before my children were born and still have some of my old band t shirts (though I must admit to get in them now would be a bit of a squeeze). After informing Anders he told me to keep my eye open for when tickets would be available and he bought some the day they went on sale. That was November last year so we've had a long wait.</span></div>

<div style="margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The opening night was May 4th at Manchester Academy and it was fortunate that we bought tickets early as it sold out. This venue was standing only and with me only being short I couldn't see much, the head and shoulders of the band members if I stood on tip toes and peeped around other people's shoulders. Dodgy was the opening band (we didn't watch as it's not the kind of music that we listen to), The Wildhearts, Reef then Terrorvision. All bands played 60 minutes with the last one being classed as the headliner and playing an extra 15 minutes. The order of the line up changed throughout the tour but both concerts we attended the line up was the same.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The day after Manchester I asked Anders if he would go again then quick as a flash tickets were purchased for May 24th at Leeds O2 Academy which was the next venue closest to us at about 70 miles away. So that's where we were last night. This time we sat up in a balcony and I could see everything. I didn't know until we were there last night that children aged 8+ could go (on the balcony with an adult) or we would have taken Little L, it would have been a great experience for her. She would have loved it plus she's really in to The Wildhearts at the moment. </span></div>
<div style="margin: 0px;">
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Both nights were amazing, all the bands were fantastic. I liked the different venues for different reasons, Leeds because I could actually see the bands but Manchester seemed to have a better atmosphere but maybe that was due to being in a large crowd.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My question to Anders on waking this morning was 'Would you go again'? but with the last date being in Portsmouth over 200 miles away from us I don't think we'll be making that one tomorrow.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Recently Little L had a day off school due to illness. I wasn't too keen on a full day of the Goosebumps series even though I think some of them are quite good so I decided to introduce her to the film, Lost Boys. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've watched it countless times but not for a long while. I'd forgotten how nice looking I thought Corey Haim and Keifer Sutherland were at the time and how good the soundtrack was. Little L loved it but I don't think she quite as taken with vampires as she is with werewolves.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Just a quick post to share what I've been up to craft wise. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfyPjqQCF93jQoiXUtrOPNl5Q0ZGPnH2CKpqzRDzlUG2_QK8bKL2pDX4fLsoQvT4QsnulYa6acK-9pYjNnjyLw3c3s6nkK3m-OpWF6Mh1t9aeAKI853xBG_4L2ucXzxp_JxuEBu5W3Yor/s1600/Vintage+Squares+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="900" data-original-width="1600" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKfyPjqQCF93jQoiXUtrOPNl5Q0ZGPnH2CKpqzRDzlUG2_QK8bKL2pDX4fLsoQvT4QsnulYa6acK-9pYjNnjyLw3c3s6nkK3m-OpWF6Mh1t9aeAKI853xBG_4L2ucXzxp_JxuEBu5W3Yor/s400/Vintage+Squares+2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I have mentioned that I wanted to make something patchwork but while I was looking through my fabric I found something that I'd started but had forgotten about. Last May I purchased some pre cut squares of vintage fabric and had sewn some plain natural colour fabric on to the back of the pieces with the intention of making a fusion blanket. That was as far as I got with it so this week I've been busy sewing blanket stitch around the edges of the squares. There are 60 squares in total and I'm about half way through with the blanket stitching.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">These are some of my favourite prints.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> The fabric was purchased from Ebay seller, coneygarth.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've also started to knit a multi stripe cardigan using a pattern from an old Let's Knit magazine. This was to use wool from my stash but I needed to buy a couple of balls so that I had enough. I bought the extra wool from <a href="https://www.deramores.com/" target="_blank">Deramores</a>. I've now remembered why I don't knit so much these days,</span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm in agony with my hands after just a couple of days knitting so this cardy is going to take a while.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgns7k8ArnaB2GQEJMLVR9RAu6nJFXRKD6xwgRWz-G4yco_b-jqgRe0erlj9klih_kwko_hTC45K7Vq0x28geQ4ej8Sa1BzH0FBKs1v5RWl0YfqgkPmIixd-_qCHgB1kJFeT8Rx7vbWdT2r/s1600/20180328_195430.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="900" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgns7k8ArnaB2GQEJMLVR9RAu6nJFXRKD6xwgRWz-G4yco_b-jqgRe0erlj9klih_kwko_hTC45K7Vq0x28geQ4ej8Sa1BzH0FBKs1v5RWl0YfqgkPmIixd-_qCHgB1kJFeT8Rx7vbWdT2r/s400/20180328_195430.jpg" width="225" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Little L asked if she could try knitting again so we got her little needles out and had another go. The thing with Little L is that she gets distracted so easily by anything ... the dog, the telly, other peoples conversations. I cast on 20 stitches and counted them after every row she knitted (at one point she ended up with 34). She's get there in the end.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I've been thinking of making something to use up some of my fabric stash and patchwork would be the ideal way to use up some of the smaller pieces of fabric. Also because Little L likes to have a go on the sewing machine she could help out with this. I don't think that I have enough fabric to make a large quilt so I'll have to have a think on what we can make.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For this weeks Folksy Friday I have picked some of the lovely patchwork items available on Folksy.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">No, not had any here yet. There was even a light sprinkling of snow as I took Little L to school yesterday morning.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Little L has been on school holiday this week and she spent most of the days de-cluttering her bedroom. This was her own idea as she feels that she has outgrown a lot of her toys. She has done a good job too and manage to clear out 7 bags and one large tub of toys. The stuff she no longer wants then gets passed on to our relations for their children and a children's hospice. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you will know if you have read this blog for a while, I love horror films and books and recently I made a couple of embroideries inspired by this interest of mine. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This first one features quotes and taglines along with a little picture to represent the film. It wasn't something that I planned out and just popped some calico in an embroidery hoop and penciled on the wording as I went along (this is why things are not evenly spaced)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It was a fun trying to decide which pictures and quotes to use as I went along but if I were to make another I would make an embroidery pattern.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anders managed to book Valentine's Day off work so we nipped in to Manchester. It's always a treat to go on our own because we like different parts of the city to the children. They would happily stay in the Arndale Centre all day while we tend to favor the Northern Quarter. I think that harks back to my younger days when I'd jump on a train most weekends just to go and rummage around Afflecks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Opie was dropped off at my Mum's for a day of being spoilt rottten then we set off. It was spitting with rain when we arrived but I wasn't prepared for the bitterly cold wind, it was freezing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Valentine's Day is almost here so I have chosen a selection of Valentine's cards for this week's Folksy Friday. There are so many different styles available it is difficult to pick just a few for a blog post. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are some of my favourites.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This card would be suitable for other celebrations such as a wedding or anniversary. I think it would also look lovely in a frame.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">On Sunday we decided to get out of the house and blow away the cobwebs while there was a break in the bad weather. We went for a walk around Newmann's Flashes which is only about a 5 minutes drive from our house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The flashes are reclaimed lime beds which were once used by ICI and are now a popular place for walkers and birdwatchers to visit. It was the most busy I've seen it this Sunday, lots of dog walkers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Since the middle of last year I have been looking for some battery operated led lights to put inside empty bottles. I never did manage to find any in a shop so I purchased some from Ebay last week for £2 each. They throw out quite a bit of light though one is needing a battery change already.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">With the popularity of the Netflix series Stranger Things and the film Ready Player One due to be released this year, the 1980's resurgence doesn't show any signs of waning just yet. I quite enjoy all the 80's references when I sit and revisit my teenage years. I'm glad I grew up in a time where it was the 'in thing' to wear electric blue mascara with purple eyeliner, something I'm certain I'll never do again. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My childhood during the 1970's was a great time too. I do wish that I had kept more of my old toys although I do still have my beloved Sindy dolls in the loft.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Now that I've made myself feel old, my Folksy Friday theme this week is childhood memories.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Late as usual but I hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. A couple of days before Christmas I started with an ear infection then after that a cold. Straight in to the New Year the kettle and tumble dryer decided to pack up. The tumble dryer was expected at any time though as it was acting a bit temperamental.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Right, that's my moaning is out of the way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We had a great Christmas, our first with Opie and he was very well behaved considering all the excitement going on around him. He came to my parent's with us on Boxing Day and was as good as gold. He was so spoilt with presents from people, it was like having another child in the house.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I also received lots of lovely bath products but I had a bit of an accident after using a bath bomb. I underestimated how slippery it would made the bath. Half in and out of the bath, the leg in the bath shot from under me, the other leg kicked the sink and I fell on to the tiles on the wall and back in to the bath. So I was sat there in agony in my slippery bath wondering how the hell I was going to clamber out. It resulted in a lovely bruise on my back.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Everyone is back to their normal routine here and Opie is acting a bit clingy, wanting to be cuddled more often. He must have enjoyed the family members all being home plus the hustle and bustle of Christmas</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I do love picturesque Winter landscapes even if I'm not too keen on the reality of the weather. If we are lucky enough to get a bit of snow it soon turns to dirty slush because the gritters have been out. Yet the gritters never make an appearance when it's deadly ice and I'm in danger of putting on a poor imitation of Jayne Torvill at the end Bolero in front of all the school Mums. Little L loved the little bit of snow we have had this year and her school friends turned up for snowball fights. It was Opie's first experience of snow, he loved it and didn't want to come in even though he was wet though and shivering.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's the time of year when there will be lots of excited children waiting for a visit from the man in the big red suit. Little L doesn't believe in Father Christmas any more. Nevertheless when she didn't receive a letter from Santa last year she got quite upset and I had to make one at the last minute in Photoshop. I think she keeps up the pretense of believing for me and Anders just as the boys did until we had to admit to telling porkies. Even though the kids do get excited for Christmas, it's not the same kind of excitement so this weeks theme is Father Christmas.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's feeling more Christmassy here now that Little L is off school for the holidays. I love those few days that she is home before Christmas when we have our films planned out to watch together.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We did end up buying a white Christmas tree ... in fact we bought two. The first one we purchased on line but when we put it up it did look quite gappy, not like the tree on the online photo. I wasn't too bothered by that but when I hung my first bauble which was very light, the branch drooped and it was obvious there was no way the branches would take any weight at all (really the tree was only suitable if you wanted to chuck some tinsel at it) Then same day we drove to three of our closest garden centres for a white tree and not one could be found. The day after we went further afield and came home with a pre lit one. We did ring before hand to enquire if they had any and they only had one. I never thought a white tree would be so difficult to find. Plus it wouldn't fit in the boot we had to remove it from it's box and wrestle it in to the boot of the car.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It does look lovely lit up. Other years we have decorated the tree with tinsel and beads but this year we've only used hanging decorations.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This year I won't be able to use my Christmas table cloths because we changed the table when we decorated so I made this Christmassy table runner. It was made using materials I already had and now my table won't look so bare.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I've noticed through social media that some people have started to put up their Christmas trees and have spotted a couple of houses in my area with their houses lit up already. All this is far too early for me but I do try to leave putting the decorations up as late as possible, (only because it drives me mad not being able to hoover under the tree). This year we have thinking of buying a white tree but I know what we are both like. We may buy a white tree, look at it, decide it doesn't look traditional enough then bring out the old green one the year after. So with Christmas trees on my mind, this weeks Folksy Friday theme is Christmas Tree decorations.</span></div>
