four walls and a roof.......

.....despite sticking a pencil behind my ear and using the word 'purlins' a lot the shed was never going to happen with just me and Mr H on the case....so we call in the professionals and its up in a day :)


so I have started squirreling things away for my little creative cabin..deerdre of course will be moving in with me, along with little boxes, clocks, toadstools and tins.....


so as the builder is telling me to insulate the walls and roof.... all I can think is where the little shelf will go...... what colour curtains.... rug...... cushion for my chair.... he left saying I should look at prices for insulation boards and a good floor so of course what is the first thing I do......

 raid my fabric pile and make a patchwork curtain for the door.......for insulation ..of course :)

hope you are having a good Monday and a happy summer

Finally.....a winner ....


Yaaaahoooooo, I'm back...with a new browser and a new-found knowledge of cookies and caches!! We have just had the longest two weeks ever, school holidays started with Mr H going away for work so me and the boys had a nice little trip over to Grandmas in Yorkshire for a few days, then followed lots of rain, a broken toilet, a broken shower, a trip to the vets for Arnie, a trip to the dentists for me (crown fell out) and the holiday ending with me and Mr H at a Take That concert.
Lets just say my knowledge of toilet syphons,shower circuit boards and how to remove a tick, whilst looking like a hillbilly(tooth missing) has also improved :-)


Onto the winner of the giveaway,thank you all... I had such a giggle reading the lookalikes comments , the name picked out of the hat was........
MAGIC BEAN
....well done!!! and thanks for your patience....if you email me your address I can get those goodies off to you, :-)

In between all the mayhem I did manage to finish a few projects like this little blanket, remember me saying I was going to make some things out of my vintage fabric stash before I sold it all? .....well I got a bit addicted so there are a few new things to show and tell, this is my favourite, I love the way the colours look next to each other...oh I do love colours....

its so good to be back :-)


Have a lovely week
