This time tomorrow...

This time tomorrow... I will (hopefully!) be at the airport, collecting my over-stuffed suitcase at baggage claim, looking out for Jude and Terri who are coming to meet me.  They will hardly fail to recognise me.  The "hairdo" was a disaster... I don't like the cut (squint too short straight line fringe...ewww) and they hardly put any purple or red in at all, so when I told them I was a bit disappointed with that, they offered to put some temporary blue in...  Which has completely taken over....  so now every blond hair I had is some shade between blue and snot green...  And you still can hardly see the purple and red....  And I really don't suit dark hair, I need my blond...  Oh well!  Lesson learnt.  No blue again, and no last minute hairdo's again...  Anyway.  I've got rather a lot to sort out and pack in the mean time, so its laptop off till I'm all ready!
If I don't get the chance to read your blog, or reply to your comment, I apologise - I am still so unprepared its stupid!!

I can leave you with a finish from last week though...


The Not-so-hidden Stars Quilt





No, not my bee quilt.  That is finished, but its also too big for me to get a decent photo of by myself!!  Its coming with me to London though so hopefully my bee mates with assist with a photo shoot, so the mental bee-ast will be revealed soon.


I also got my partners tag done a while ago, and I've heard that it has been received so that's a relief.  I don't think she'll mind if I show you that too.


Tag made for Kat of Mummas time to create

the dolls are not upside down, not if you're Kat and you're wearing it....


And finally, I just made hands down the best summer smoothie...



1 Banana
Large handful blueberries
Large handful frozen raspberries
2 inch piece cucumber (which I hate, but the taste was mostly hidden so it worked okay)
1 pear
1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp fat free natural yoghurt
half cup orange juice
fresh mint

(tsp honey if the berries aren't entirely sweet...)

Right, have to go sort my "supplies" out!

  14. Oh arse on the hair, although I'm sure it looks okay. I got mine cut tonight - the colour is fine, the styling, err... well, it'll wash out lol

  15. Try cheap dish soap mixed in with your shampoo. Should take some of the blue out. It will lighten the reds out to though.

    I can't wait to read all the posts about this when you all come back. Luck beans getting to meet each other. Jealous!
