Takes after his mum

I went to pick my son up from preschool this morning. As he is one of the younger children he is in a little antiroom rather than the main hall for collection. Usually we go to the doors, one of the teachers calls out his name and out running like a mad thing comes my son all excited and uaually needing a wee LOL.
Today however the teacher wasn't on the door, as she was talking to another mum, so in I went and my son was sat on the mat with the other teacher. I crouched down, held my arms out and said hello to my little man.....but he didn't move. I went over to him and did it again but yet again he didn't move. He just sat there fiddling with his joggers telling me about his birthday card, but not getting up. I looked at the teacher who was in the room and she looked at me. I then asked my son why he wasn't getting up. Full of logic he said "lady hasn't called my name out". So dutifully off I went to find the other teacher to call his name out so we could go home.
Should I worry that my son is turning out to be a little bit like me, having to have thing right and organised? Actually I think he may be more like his dad who always follows the rules. Then again maybe he is a mix of both.
On a jewellery note, I made four, yes four pairs of earrings today and two necklaces for the Beady Pool Treasure Chest. I will try to get them photographed and online later this week.

Spots

Well, my poor little man still has chicken pox so the celebrate (probably not the right word but never mind) here are a few spotty items to grab your fancy.
Yesterday we made choc crispie cakes in spotty cases with speckled eggs. Yummy :) There are not too many left I hasten to add.


I also added this gorgeous spotty lampwork bracelet to my website. I have a matching pendant that I am hoping to list this weekend.
Spots before my eyes - available in the new Beady Pool Treasure Chest more about that in another post.
This morning I ordered another new arrival from the Warren to be a friend for Twiglet, this is a scrummy red polka dot bunny. Anna's other shop on Folksy sells these gorgeously fun handpainted fish. Check out her spotty fishes - Half an Acre , there are also some lovely snakes and lizards.



A couple more from Folksy. I have one of these handmade purses by Natalie Farrell and they really nicely made, perfect for popping into your handbag. She has lots of different colour combos to choose from.


Whilst browsing, I also found this cute apron - Posh Pinnie, Miss Winnie - Milk and Jam. There are days when I wish I had a little girl just to have an excuse to buy pretty things like this. Shame all the birthdays are nearly done with as well. May be next year.
Off to give someone a little TLC, hopefully by the time I post next the spots will of disappeared.
