Busy times!

Have had a busy weekend.  On Saturday took my son and half of the contents of the house to university in Aberdeen.  It was actually lucky that he fitted in the car!  My daughter was supposed to be coming with us however due to lack of space she had to miss the trip.

View from the front seat!

I did actually want her to come as she has sat nav on her phone and I could have really used that on Saturday.  I got lost (despite a map I had specially printed out!) and we ended up on Union Street (one of the main shopping streets) - bus lane city! Anyway, we did eventually arrive and thankfully his room was on the ground floor so no lugging things up flights of stairs!  How it all got into that tiny room amazed me!  

Last night it did seem quiet in the house although he has been away on courses etc for a couple of weeks before.  (What didn't help last night was that the dog started doing her 'staring at nothing' routine - where she looks like she's looking at something I can't see!  That kind of scares me a bit - hopefully she wont start that tonight!)

Today I popped over to my daughter's to get her to be a 'hair model' for a couple of new hair accessories I made.  It is so much easier to see what a hair comb/pin will look like when photographed in someone's hair. She has good hair for this.




Well that's it from me for today - going to settle down and watch TV with 'mystic Mindy' (the dog).

Pop over to 1st Unique Gifts to have a look at some great blogs.

    Love the hair accessories - I agree they are better photographed on a model.

    Your uni story reminded me of taking my middle daughter to uni in central London. We were warned not to take a car (no parking!) so 4 of us lugged everything on the train & taxi. She even unpacked kitchen essentials to fit in more shoes!!

    Lovely hair accessories - the first one particularly works against your daughter's dark hair.

    I like to see accessories photographed on a model, it gives a better idea of size, I especially like the first one.

    Hope your boy is settling in well. Hair accessories - I love the idea of them but they will just never stay in my hair. What am I doing wrong? Yours look so pretty.

    Caroline, sometimes if you have fine hair it is hard to get them to stay in but you can try spraying the hair accessory part that goes in the hair with some hairspray before you push it in and that may help. Also get as much hair into it as you can.

    Good luck with the trip Penny - I was glad we set out quite early as it got busier as the day went on and there was a huge queue of traffic trying to get in as I was leaving.
