with pleasure comes pain..

Now, as some of my people who read my post on saturday will now, it was a big day for me.
A party at my house for the Eurovision song contest. I was up at seven cleaning and shopping.
Making everything eurovision friendly..


Flags to hide the messy kitchen!
Everyone bought amazing food, which i just think looks fab with all the flags in. These two pictures don't show the half of what we had. And then of course everyone bought drink from different countries.
So as we watched and cheered, groaned, laughed and scored food was eaten and drink was drunk
I do like a little vodka, and prosecco, and cava.. As i had over 30 people over it meant there was a great atmosphere and lots of countries food and drink to choose from!
This was just the front room...
So yes the next day i was in pain!! I thought my head would explode as i did the big tidy up (why did i clean for the party!!!)
It was a great night even though i don't think the best song won. My heart was with Denmark, but then i am biased. I love Demark, beautiful country with fabulous design.
I had to show you the above picture, it's not a great image, but on sunday we had two great fat ducks in our garden. Can i remind you i live in built up South London, and no one i know has a pond or river. It was so strange but rather lovely.x

I did manage to make two tops. I have adjusted a pattern and used an old top of mine to come up with this design. I really like it and they look lovely on. I will be putting them on for sale soon.Please look out - as i also want to do a giveaway with one..
My head is nearly back to normal but i now have an eye infection. Thats what happens when you party too hard!

OOOO i adore fabric!

  5. Sounds like a great party, what a good idea to have a drink from every country. It's always a nightmare clearing up with a banging head afterwards but well worth it for memories of a great night x

  7. Oh I wish I could've come to your party - it looks like you all had so much fun. Isn't Eurovision great? I completely LOVE IT! I liked Denmark too, but worry about Danes since I watched The Killing - I need re-educating! Oh, and JedWard was/were (?) fun!
