Bee happy ...... visit the beach

Just got back from Woolacombe in North Devon after having a couple of days at the seaside.

 

 

There is a row of pretty beach huts on Woolacombe beach.

 

Each beach hut has a girls name.

 

I managed to find my name.

 

I also found my lovely friend Marianne's name from over at Leisure Lane.

 

Are you heading off somewhere for a holiday soon?

Bee happy ... hip hip holidays!

A few snaps to show you what me and Mr Happy got up to on our holidays in North Devon :)

Beach huts on Woolacombe beach

Love this fence on Woolacombe beach, the National Trust have erected
it to help preserve the sand dunes behind

Playing on the rocks at Woolacombe beach watching the tide come in.
These rocks are great for rock pooling when the tide is out.

Popped into Silverston for a coffee on the way to Bicester,
bought a few goodies from Links of London and fabric from
Cath Kidston :)

We literally stumbled upon this ickle fellow on the back garden
late at night taking the doggies out before bed. Tash decided to try and
play by knocking him with her nose which caused him to roll up in a ball
causing Tash to get giddy and wanting to play even more!

Mr Happy insisted I include this photo of an F1 car.  Marussia Virgin Racing is our local team
based in Dinnington and we were really, really, really, really lucky to be invited to look around their head quarters before we went to Devon.  Inside where the team work on the 2 F1 cars is so white and clean, very impressive!
I think this was Mr Happy's highlight of the holiday! His Marussia Virgin Racing t-shirt even turned up in the post on the Thursday before we went on the Sunday! Such good timing!

I received my magic ball swap from Kandipandi in the holidays.
She has used some gorgeous wool, so cute!

Inside there were buttons, a needle case, crocheted flower and cloth which I adore the colours of these.
I also got some stamps, candles, CK tissues, hand cream, bath bomb and heart pegs!

I am so lucky thank you so much Kandipandi, I love all of my gifts :)

Explored Hartland in North Devon for the first time, we also saw
posters advertising the Antiques Roadshow at Hartlands Abbey for
that week, we were going to miss it as it was later that week but
will be looking out for it on TV.

The tide is in at Hartland's.

Hartlands again, it is so Enid Blyton Famous Five here with rocks,
caves and hidey holes, I love it!

View on cliff top looking over Croyde beach.

Hope I haven't bored you with these holiday snaps, I know what they can be like!!

Have a delicious day!

Bee happy.... change your craft table

I got my table cloth in the post which I won from The White House.  It came in a cute pink bag with cute stickers on the tissue paper, thanks Shirl, I love it :)

Check out her lovely blog.

I have been updating my storage as I was running out of room for my East of India ribbons.

I looked in the garage for some wooden dowel but couldn't find anything.  I was about to leave when I spotted my pink fishing net which I got in Woolacombe, North Devon when I wanted to go rock pooling :)

I had a brainwave!

I cut the end off my net handle (after checking the holes in the ribbon reels fitted) and hey presto a pink ribbon holder.

I screwed in 2 small hooks underneath the shelf and then attached ribbon round the pole, filled it with the rolls and then hooked the ribbon on the hooks.

I also decided to use an old tape measure to staple onto my sewing table for quick measuring.

I'm really pleased with the updates and now I can see my lovely ribbons better :)
