celebrations...........

In between all the shed activity (thankyou all for your lovely kind and encouraging words)

I managed to squeeze in a birthday :)

I was well and truly treated this weekend.........

I am indulged in my love of old globes, vintage, radios and books.........

and another friend to join the menagerie of light up animals :)

the decorations made me giggle......heart shaped balloons which looked very much like something else...much to the boys amusement!

 I am only hoping that this isn't the shape of things to come...a before and after type of scenario if you know what I mean :)

tommorrow is our wedding anniversary, 14 years ago since I tiptoed in my Doc Martins and Tiara down the aisle to marry my best friend...our wedding favors were homemade cookies iced with our initials and we danced to our friends band and mix tapes into the early hours.....we are going off into the woods for a picnic to celebrate and make the most of the lovely sun :) :) :)

Happy Monday

indulgent shed post ............

I am too excited for words:)

after plasterboarding, wallpapering, painting and sewing it's finally finished....everything in there has been either thrifted or pinched from the house....

......I've already been locked inside by 'accident' twice!!!! and the boys fear they will never see me again 

...I'm thinking they might be right :)

never..............

...has so much thought gone into a pair of shed curtains :) :) :)

progress........

despite what I said in my last post....I would never make a builder..........

(check out the pally wally tea for proof )

also the 'change' I mentioned could be that I almost had 2 fingers missing after this weeks antics with a small saw and some plasterboard!!!.......but I'm getting to the good bits now....

Happy Friday  

(where has this week gone???)

xxxxx

a change is as good as ...a ..something....

I find myself all alone today...apart from Arnie who is too busy snoring in his bed to notice me :) 

so I am trying to make a to do list which is as long as my ....well my yard stick at least... 

I feel a change coming ....not sure what yet... but something is afoot..( love that word!)

yesterday you could have found me in the local D I Y store with a pencil behind my ear again...a flowery tape measure and lots of saws and blades and tacks and pins...looking very much 'in the know' 

(not really but trying very hard!!) 

I am in my element in such places...in another life I would have been a builder...I've already expressed my love of power tools on here but it got me in a bit of trouble so I won't say too much :)

maybe that's what the change is ....... I leave behind my life of vintage sheets and crochet .....and swap it for the world of steel toe boots and tool belts..... 

I like it ....

aah but then maybe not :)

Happy Saturday....

PS the crochet frames are from the pattern in molliemakes...

making time for making :).......

          

not much going on here at the moment...just catching up with things

shed progress has stopped for a while due to a sore tooth... meaning my very small budget was used up on painful dentistry....ouch!

but I am working on getting it finished before the end of the month and then I can move in...yay

(I'll never be seen again!!!!)

so having a bit of time to myself again...means making again and that makes me very happy indeed...

........some new little garlands for the shop

the cogs are turning in my tiny mind...new ideas...projects....more time...more time :)

Hope you're having a good week...

Sometimes.........

.....there is no doubt that I live in a house full of boys ....

it makes me chuckle to spot who is lurking among the girliness

.....we have been away on our summer jollies....... there was sunshine and sea and lots of this.....

I got a bit homesick though and felt a little out of sorts which isn't like me..

.....this never came out of the bag!!?? ( I think I was missing my bed..and my shed )

but we did have a lovely time, met up with  friends  and managed to visit our favourite spot.....

Portmeirion

such a lovely place and as we went late on our way back home it was so quiet and peaceful...

just what was needed :)

........it's back to school next week so I am hoping to get lots of sewing and chopping done to stock up the littleteawagon....... 

I feel a nip in the air and sense my favourite time of year is fast approaching....

x x x happy sunday x x x

PS hello and thankyou to new followers and commenter's:)  I will get round to catching up with you soon x
